After returning to Raxus, Ahsoka and Galen find themselves thrown into the midst of a planetary uprising. Yes, the one guy who's reading the full description, I did put that lightly.
Holy shit, Lux's speech is possibly the greatest fictional speech I've ever heard, better than Pacific Rims, Better than Independence Day, better than Mass Effect 1s Hold the Line speech. Holy fuck you are a fantastic writer. And say what you want about your voice acting i think your doing a damn fine job, you can express the emotions your characters are currently feeling in a way that's so believable.
This series has been the only thing out of Star Wars that I have enjoyed in years. Your storytelling is superb. The battle of Raxis is going to be interesting. I wonder how other Legends will figure into th events of this timeline.
Jesus, Barriss is evil in this. While I do appreciate her as a villain on the basis of villainy, it unfortunately reminds me of how badly Filoni (or whoever chose her as the traitor in "The Wrong Jedi") wronged this woman and robbed her of her backstory. I suppose that's what makes this whole thing tragic. Here was a woman so opposed to taking life that she dedicated hers to preserving and healing others, only now to become this bloody dominatrix devil.
@@BOOFIRE191 I have two thoughts about this. The first is that she was in full control of her actions and did indeed willingly bomb the Temple, frame Ahsoka and fell to the Dark Side on the basis of her beliefs. The only way I can justify this would be that the effects of the Battle of Drongar (which saw her reject the Dark Side and receive her promotion to Knight) left a lingering darkness that festered during her recovery. The second is a personal development created by myself, and fellow writers Squasher and Alexeij for both a rewrite of Jedi Fallen Order (which includs Barriss) and Rebels. This is a long answer that borders on tinfoiling, so I'm going to bullet point it. -Barriss was never in control of her actions, as after the Battle of Drongar she was infected by a modified Geonosian Brain Worm on the orders of Palpatine. -Palpatine wants to arrange an embarrassing event for the Jedi that will publicly humiliate them, deepen the divide with them and the military, remove an obstacle (Ahsoka) to Anakin's soul, and further develop Skywalker's resentment of the Jedi. -This entire operation however will not be carried out by Barriss but instead by Ventress. In Legends, she disappears for months before returning as a mad cyborg not fully in control of her actions, with it never established when this happened. Barriss does not have the skills to carry out an operation this complex, but Ventress does. Ventress has a far greater chance of success than Barriss. -Additionally, Barriss fights almost exactly in Ventress' style in this arc, and is even shown to be taller than Ahsoka. Barriss is 5'4, Ahsoka 5'6, and Ventress 5'9. -So, after the bombing, framing and trials are completed, Barriss is activated and used Manchurian Candidate style. Thus, Palpatine has achieved all of his objectives. -It is not until after the trial that it was discovered that Barriss was indeed infected by the Worm, and Ventress was the one responsible for the entire affair (where she disappears, leading to Obi-Wan's search for her in the Republic Comics). Here, Barriss spends months recovering before eventually being reassigned to active duty on Felucia. -Here, she is horribly mentally and physically scarred during Order 66 (she took a tank shot to the face), and only survives due to her advanced healing techniques. She escapes the planet and eventually finds her way to the Jedi Enclave on Kashyyyk (Fallen Order). -She spends years there recovering and trying to redeem herself for her part in things. However, a lingering darkness resides beneath the surface and during Vader's assault on Kashyyyk (TFU and Dark Lord of the Sith), those feelings come out. -She comes face to face with Vader, and the resulting conflict sees her fall to the Darkness. However, Vader turns those feelings from himself to the Emperor. It was he who ruined her life and left her monster, just like Vader. -He offers her a chance at vengeance by becoming his agent in the Inquisition. She says yes. Obviously, this one does quite fit your version of events. But it is food for thought.
I think Barriss is the prime example of the failures of the Jedi order. Barriss would be the "perfect" Jedi if not for the clone wars. Logical, emotionless, obedient, more of a droid than a sapient being. But all those emotions caused by seeing her friends and innocents die and the general stress from being in a warzone kept building up inside her. Eventually she probably came to the realisation that she was an indoctrinated child leading slaves to their death against people who mostly just wanted freedom and that fact broke her. Then she turned to the emotional drug that is the dark side and the rest is history.
Bravo, Bravo! Both in terms of writting and narration you seem to continually improve! Honestly, apart from the fact that you once again leave us off on a cliff hanger I can't think of anything to complain about. … Well, maybe one thing, namely that you have (and not recently) managed to outstrip SW cannon's (recent) storytelling and character developing capabilities.
I know u don't make Earth in Star Wars anymore, but I would expect that your story even merges with episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker, it would be the First Order escaping from the Terran's onslaught like rats getting chased by cats tirelessly, with Resistance forces are glad that the war would be finished quickly plus a victory too. Even with Old Plappy get its Sith Eternal fleet in action and possibly give the surviving First Order personnel some room to breath, they would be fxxxed to endless hell by the determined fxxxing furious Terran armed forces. The allied fleet might join the fight but by the time they showed up the Final Order is at SNAFU level with Exegol bombed by Nuclear weapons then turn into a radioactive wasteland. As for Rey "Palpatine", I am not sure would the Terrans treat her badly for her surname is from her bastard grandpa or would just give her stink eyes. What do u think?
This series has been phenomenal and I desperately hope you see it through to an end. I've spent the better part of my work day listening to it and I cannot praise it enough. Excellent work dude.
@@coggnus9656 well yeah, because the inquisitors, Death Vader and the Emperor killed the surviving Jedi. So numbers kept going down until we reached a "New Hope"
You should try to collaborate with some other you tubers and make this a fan film. The story is just a mixture of emotions. From joy to mournfulness it’s just delicious of a journey, and quite entertaining.
@Will DeMarco I have now started to watch EvanNova95, and I really enjoyed his videos, but I really think that the two could wipe out all the other fans.
@Ferdinand von Aegir that would be interesting to see. Obi-Wan would say something like this. "Every thing is part of the force. Even when have to do your chores, day by day"
I absolutely love this and I think if I ever get to work and lucasfilm I will make this s*** to Cannon. I will f*** Disney on the ball. If I ever get to be CEO Lucas film
@@Alarcj7 Same, plus I would love to see a father and son Jedi duo fighting the Empire. We already got Ahsoka family fighting the good fight. I want to see more in my opinion.
That speech sounds suspiciously like the one from Star Trek: Prelude to Axanar ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L57gU8DVIrc.html I love it!
I'm not happy with about confrontation Galen Marek just display and it's unlike him, especially when he trying to embrace the "Jedi" path not the beat up Ashoka son so he can release his bottle up emotional path. It could have gone much better way. Plus he should've ask Ashoka approve before doing something so rash and reckless in my opinion😒
You sure did break through Galen Marek character alright😒. That would never happen in my version/ interpretation of him. I want to let this situation go about the different way. Maybe have proxy duel Anakin Tano instead, while Galen Marek talk in background about telling Anakin that it okay to release those feelings of pain, agony, hate and anger deep inside himself. It would be combat defense lesson while also a emotional lessons. Plus after seeing Ashoka motherly ferocity after hearing her son was being torture. You think Galen would think of a different alternative than this a crazy dual, that enforce passion towards swordplay instead of by words alone😑.
