Will Bariss Offee Actually Join the Empire? 

I cannot wait to see Anakin see Barriss again cause you KNOW he's gonna be be hella vindictive towards her after everything she put Ahsoka through. The drama tho 😂

You could tell at times Barris was envious of Anakins' relationship with Ahsoka. His care and concern for her.

Barris would have been a fantastic Jedi during the High Republic where her compassion and healing abilities would have made her a Legendary Hero, but you could only imagine how much her master failed her considering she could have help rehabilitate the Jedi image.

The Inquisition partially arose from the inspiration of Barriss's speech, so it's clearly going to be her reckoning with the past. I find it hard to believe that Barriss will remain an Inquisitor for long, maybe around a year. (In Rebels, the best move would have been to send Barriss after Ahsoka. The fact that they didn't do that suggests something happened, and Barriss is unavailable for some reason.) The only thing she has left is something the Inquisition won't easily take away from her, and that's her morality. Her morality makes her character not a villain but a very gray and complex character (meybe anti-hero). Barriss will hate herself for what she'll have to do, and she'll certainly feel powerless. She can't fight this; she has to accept the past and realities and leave, betray the Empire. Another scenario is her death.

Oh man the Anakin and Barriss reunion is gonna be awesome.

Cannot wait to see what Anakin will do once he sees Barriss

Working in a cancer ward, I can really identify with barriss' experience as a healer experiencing a fraction of the pain of those you're attempting to assist with healing. Sometimes I do feel like I'm battling the boundaries between myself and their experience. It's hard to want to help without inadvertently hurting yourself if you extend your wish too far.

I just want her to realize she's become the very thing she accused the Jedi of being: A soldier in the army of the darkside, so far from the Light she once held dear. And I hope the irony crushes her.

Luminara was relieved to have finally ditched her padawan.

If you think about it, Barriss is indirectly responsible for Anakin becoming Darth Vader. Sure, there was a multitude of reasons why Anakin fell to the Dark Side (Palpatine’s manipulation, the Jedi’s treatment of him, and his own fears of losing his loved ones manifesting into intense anger), but the one thing that cemented Anakin’s fall was Ahsoka leaving the Order. Barriss’ attack on the Order and framing Ahsoka for it (which almost lead to her death) was the catalyst for the fall of the Republic, the destruction of the Jedi, and the subsequent rise of Darth Vader. And, timeline wise, by the time we get to Tales of the Empire, as far as Anakin/Vader is concerned, Ahsoka is dead. Another fallen victim of Order 66. Vader hates himself for his actions, and feels nothing but constant pain and suffering everyday. He feels like he failed Padmé, he feels like he failed the Republic for siding with Palpatine. And the worst part is, he feels like he failed Ahsoka. His student, his best friend besides Obi-Wan, his little sister. And he felt like he wasn’t able to protect her. All because of one person; someone who Ahsoka considered a friend. I can only imagine the intense feelings that Vader might when he meets Barriss again. That anger, that hatred. Vader might’ve tried to put the past behind him, but Anakin Skywalker was never truly dead. The Dark Side corrupted his mind, but it didn’t destroy him entirely. So, whatever happens in TOTE, it’ll be interesting to see how or if Barriss manages to even stay alive after meeting Vader.

It's always good to see someone be a bit critical of the Jedi.

Bariss was the only Padawan besides Anakin Skywalker to survive the first battle of Geonosis.... likely messed her up in the head too.

It's kind of ironic. Luminrina personality as explained in this video does echo with some of my previous beliefs with the teachings of Juli Caeasr. One of his quotes that i took to an extreme level in the past was as follows "free yourself from the influence of friendship, anger, hatred and pity; when these intervene, the mind cannot judge the truth and noone ever served his emotions and best interests simultaneously ". Does sound similar to her view as well

Just imagine Barriss met Ahsoka again and tell her the true meaning of her begging for Ahsoka to end her life on that mission after the Second Battle of Geonosis. What will be Ahsoka's reaction from such a statement?

Although in our society we don’t send children to war, children are under pressure from our modern society. Your view of Luminara Unduli helped set the stage for Barris Offee’s downfall just as many influencers affect on impressionable children today. Rant aside , I’m looking forward to the Tales of the Empire.

Man, I just really want a video of why Alan thinks Shaak Ti was chosen out of all the Jedi to replace Jango Fett to oversee the training of the Clones on Kamino.

Luminara really said “some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I am willing to make” ✋🏿😭 No but seriously I want to a Luminara backstory episode. I feel like if we understood her backstory, we’d be able to better understand why she’s so cold and detached like that.

Barris Offee is a Jedi who has my respect. Despite what she has done I don't believe she is truly evil. She loved the clone troopers under her command but she hated the jedi. And she did have a point when she revealed her motives to Ahsoka. In some ways I find that her hatred is Justified. The same can be said about Anakin Skywalker before he fell to the dark side and became Darth Vader. Somehow there were a few factors that justified his hatred for Jedi. But killing Jedi younglings was completely unjustifiable in and of itself. However, there was a comic that revealed his doubts about how he could actually go through with such a horrible Act. It was revealed that the dark side itself provided some kind of comfort for him and it made Anakin think that these younglings were taken from their parents and that nobody would want them and killing them was in a way, him doing them a favor. As completely unjustifiable as that is; I find it rather disturbing that the dark side could actually comfort someone like him into killing those younglings

I always smile whenever you include footage or content from the 2003 series ❤️

Is it just me, or has RU-vid tripled up on the adds? I'm looking forward to Tales of the Sith!

I think Barriss' expressions throughout the trailer kinda hints where her story will go. In almost every shot she doesn't look angry, but... deeply sad. She doesn't have Sith eyes either. So she is not consumed by the Dark Side, but probably going to be a grey Jedi of sorts. So I think she has a will to survive and will go along with the inquisitors, but she will leave them at the first opportunity.

I think Grand Inquisitor was implying Barriss was too nice.

Feels and emotions are actually 2 diffrent things. Emotions are made of feels. But emotions are stop stops feels flow

Bariss's betrayal of the Republic came from a good intent, but was ultimately misguided, which is the saddest part about it.

I think it’s a coin toss. Barriss certainly has fallen to the Dark Side and that not only usually ends badly, but it also feels like a sort of drug people can’t let go. Barriss also might feel like her views have been validated given the fall of the Jedi. Maybe she thinks the Jedi actually wanted to take over the government to stop the public from turning on them. Maybe she even wants revenge on the Jedi because they locked her up and are continuing the war by opposing the Empire alongside rebel groups. On the other hand Barriss may feel that becoming an Inquisitor would be an act of hypocrisy and a bigger betrayal of the Light Side than what the Jedi Order did. Maybe she does realize how she betrayed the Jedi Order and wants to help out the survivors from within. Maybe she sees how the Sith manipulated everything and wants revenge. Hearing about the terrible fate of her master and how Ahsoka is still on the run might affect her. Maybe she finds her connection to the Dark Side as painful and repulsive. It’s really a coin toss to me on what her fate is going to be. If she becomes an Inquisitor, she’s another fallen Clone Wars Jedi. If she ends up rejecting that path, she retained some of her Jedi teachings.

I love your approach to your videos. Quickly have become one of my favorite channels of RU-vid. Much respect Generation Tech.

i'm happy to hear Allen didn't have to go through the horror of being kidnapped by Santa as a child he wasn't just after your milk and cookies like the media tells you.

6:31, It’s interesting to note that Legends specifically depicts Force Healing as a technique relatively normal Force-sensitives could learn, the exact opposite of how it is in the Disney Star Wars Era, where it takes particularly powerful or skilled Force-sensitives to be able to use it effectively, if at all, as it actually sacrifices their own health to heal others. It seems they are keeping some elements of Barriss’ portrayal as a healer in the new miniseries, as she is described as one in later episodes where she defects from the Inquisitorius and shown to be suspiciously old with seemingly little passage of time, suggesting she is still capable of the technique, only the health draining aspect of its depiction in this new Disney era means it makes her older if she uses it significantly.

Probably, I doubt she replaces something she despised with something worse.

I'd buy a book of all of your amazing presentations. Always brilliantly put together. Thank you so much for each and every video!!

I suffer from CPTSD. When he says that ANYONE can go through trauma , literally. These people may be fake but the things they teach us isn’t. People go through these things and still have to find a way to live a “Good” Life. We all should be a bit more understanding , empathetic and sympathetic ❤

I'm not sure I can see Barriss surviving this series if she isn't just the perfect Inquisitor. We know the price they faced for failure and if Vader takes even a remotely personal stance against Barriss it's pretty much over.

Well spoken as always. It's nice to hear something truly insightful, especially these days. Refreshing🎉

Barriss will genuinely follow the Empire, then disagree with the Empire's goals/methods, and finally turn away from the empire to oppose them. It should be an interesting story arc. Barriss will play it off like she wasn't really following the Empire in the beginning but that will just be propaganda.

9:50 Also, didn't one of the twin sisters in their season 7 clone wars arc talk about a green skinned jedi (who I assume was Luminara) just saying to them "may the force be with you" after their home was destroyed and then leaving them instead of helping, which is part of the reason why they lost faith in the jedi?

I wonder if Vader will remember Bariss and eventually kill her for a failiure she will make (for what she did to Ahsoka).

How can take of the forest if don't pay attention to the trees

Brilliant take as usual Alan. Deepest thinker on SW-tube!

I kinda hope not. It’s expected that Barriss will turn back to the light, so I want her to do the unexpected and become a seething ball of dark side misery.

I also imagine having a parasite take over your body and force you to fight your friend does a number on your psyche.

I’m curious given to the Rise of the Red Blades they promoted Padawans to Knights almost immediately, why wasn’t Barriss not promoted after Attack of the Clones? Especially she’s one of those survivors?

I hope we see luminara or a mention of her in tales of the empire and Barriss’s reaction to that

Im honestly just waiting to see what the Temple Guard who became the Grand Inquisitor will say to Bariss. Did her actions inspire him, or does he view her as a threat? Filoni is keeping us chomping at the bit and i cant wait to see the Star Wars EU under his full control.

May the force be with you Allen

I feel bad for barris, she clearly has ptsd. She was put in a position she was not able to handle. She began to see the corruption of the Jedi and the republic and saw a need to change things. She however at that point had enough bad experience in battle to realize that peace was no longer possible. I think she wanted to get caught and probably hoped to be executed.

I know this is definitely never going to happen. I wish Barry and Asoka met again.

Thanks Alan👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Damn, now I think that she would be probably perfect antagonist (at least on the begining) for a third Jedi game. After all, we can say that Cal Kestis, is a savior, just like Luke Skywalker. Bode, Dagan, Trilla, Merrin, all those people were trying to kill him on many ocasions, yet he always tried to save them, make them think. It would be great if we could see such thing with Bariss

your analysis is both hilarious and prescient

IIRC from your worst Jedi ever video (not disagreeing) Luminara's people had a permanent lock on padawans of their own species. That was a mistake, and it seems like these set-asides undermined the Order as much as anything else. Also kind of sad that she externalized all her resentment of Luminara onto the Order as a whole; not that they didn't have it coming for a lack of support (Like many an abused child, she was likely told to heed the one doing the abuse), but it almost seems like she still couldn't denounce Luminara and so turned against everyone, even when an accidental (at first) casualty was her only real friend. That scene outside the weapons factory comes off like a serious version of that TV scientist on Dinosaurs, who always stepped away while 'Timmy' conducted the insane experiment.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Barriss ends up with the same end as Iskat Akaris aka the 13th sister but with out the romance involved maybe barriers will surprise me again .

Given that by the time of Star Wars Rebels Bariss Offee was dead and on ice (figurative, if not literally!), I don't think Bariss would join the Empire (alive). Plus, think about how Darth Vader would react to see her...

Very Nice 🖤💜💚

I think she is gonna realize that they are evil and get caught showing compassion to someone and vader will kill her for being weak 😮

another example of lummuira (i know i butchered her name) the martez sisters parents murder lummuira went after ziro the hutt they're parents ending up getting murdered and lummuira went up to them and said "the force will be with you" just an awful jedi all round their parents just died

People would think Vader will have sheer hatred for Bariss and want to kill her, but I think the opposite, he may see himself in her and try to make her his dark apprentice, his own dark side version of Ashoka, trying to parallel his life as Anakin, maybe before he finds or near the time he finds Galen Marek if he is canon tho, but who knows tbh

I watched this entire video and survived. My name is Tech and my allegiance is Generation Allan.

While I don’t believe Luminara was a terrible Jedi master, I do believe she didn’t believe in her padawan as a person who needed her more as another person than as a teacher. I also believe Barris sadly never let this become more than festering hatred rather than to seek more beyond and to try and rectify or help herself.

I have a bad feeling Barriss won't survive her anthology

We do not see Barris in rebels or fallen order. I think Vader will kill her or send her on a suicide mission.

If Bariss recognizes Vader she might even start to think due her actions and Ahsoka leaving she indirectly contributed to Anakin becoming Vader since Ahsoka wasn't there to stop him and those negative emotions are great for the Sith to turn her. Other option maybe is she hates what Anakin has become and extents her believe that Asoka isn't any better. Both variants seem cool but knowing Disney... well let's say it will likely just be a disappointment.

I think Vader is going to kill her himself, maybe show us why the Grand Inquisitor was so scared of Vader.

Luminara was a sociopath who never cared about Barriss and if there’s a reason she fell to the dark side that’s it. She would have let her die on Geonosis! If not for Anakin she would have

I know many people want her dead and is the most likely ending, but while logical I just can't find it satisfing its weird, we've been waiting 11 years to know her fate, expecting any opportunity. She was originally supposed to die at her confession, she didn't appear in rebels, the character went straight to the fridge, all because Filoni wanted to do something with her. So if in the end all that wait is just to see how she becomes an inquisitor and dies at the hands of Vader while doing absolutely nothing that just sucks, thats something they could've told in a one-shot comic at least 7 years ago

Offee's story is so much better in the Legends Medstar duology by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry. A squad of Republic Commandos could have easily taken down that droid foundry in half the time that the padawans did.

There is no way Vader is going to be able to meet Barriss and not have a strong reaction. Might be best The Inquisition never let the two meet.

Question for a video: How does the Jedi council in Episode 1 know of the Rule of 2? They haven't seen a Sith since the books of Darth Bane.

The favourite green lady of Star Wars.

Man I dont want them to bring Barris back just to kill her off I love Barris and I hope she escapes from the inquisitors and lives on her own and eventually meets Ahsoka in live action series

Bariss did not become a mad bomber, she died on felucia a hero. At least, thats what I think. Still impressed at how the medstar books remain gold in comparison to what tcw and dave filoni have done to luminara and bariss Offee.

Secondary question: Why was Barriss in prison, when they seemed set to execute Ahsoka based on less evidence? This is a trope I cannot stand in fiction overall; The protagonist is unjustly convicted, and seems set to get the worst fate available - even the light anime 'Peach Girl' had this - but when the liar and schemer and real criminal is exposed, suddenly we have procedure and rights being heeded. Edit: It just struck me why this happened: Luminara. Somehow, even matters concerning punishment of their species are part of this set-aside. She advocated for prison for her padawan instead of execution. That almost has to be it.

Has anyone else just assumed that Barriss was the 6th sister?

If your apart of Inquistor training Your already in the empire then arent the boy scouts there a hyper secret emperor controlled death squad

Nice new haircut btw. =P

Wait a sec. Did Anakins limbs turn to ash on Mustafar? Could the cauterization points be cleaned and reattached?

She will likely face off against Ashoka....

She should. Long live the Empire!

What about Master Luminara and the Martez sisters parents???

Did anyone else hear kanan wanted luminara to ezra and just went fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I'm going to be honest, I'm surprised in the Empire that Barriss Offee wasn't being celebrated as a martyr, and a hero to the Empire. She bombed the Jedi Temple, which could be seen as striking the Jedi preemptively before their betrayal. After all, if the Empire has shown, it doesn't give a damn about civilian casualties, or collateral damage, but they can never resist the chance to give the average Imperial Citizen an icon to cover up the obvious rot, because no one can resist a hero.

As for Santa Claus stealing kids around Xmas times? Well, it depends on what version of him you're speaking of. You can always depend on the Jedi 100% stealing children, tho.

The Sith are responsible for the war, but who's responsible for the Sith? Aren't they an offshoot of the Jedi that objected to how controlling Jedi order is in their lives?

That Tale of the Empire is not the Tale of Bariss Offee. It is the tale of the Seventh Sister.

I don't know, it's not uncommon for Jedi who join the Inquisitorius to become numb to the suffering of others or even relish in that suffering. Especially due to the constant infighting and power plays that happen within the organization. She could just as easily wined-up dead at the hands of a fellow Inquisitor seeking to further their status as being killed by Vader for failure. Hell Iskat Akaris (13th Sister) nearly died twice at the hands of a fellow Inquisitor; one was the 7th Sister and the other was Tualon.

Luminara and Kiadi Mundi were some of the WORST of that final era of the Jedi Order

Has Luminara's 'Force Ghost' leading them to her body ever been explained? 😬

Personally, I don't see Barriss joining the Inquisitorius that long. Yes we know she's capable of murder or killing/framing Jedi for heinous actions. But condoning their widespread murder across the galaxy and letting ordinary citizens be oppressed? That feels like a bridge too far- the whole point of Barriss' choices was that she didn't like seeing the Jedi become soldiers.

I think they had been other well published jedi falling during the clone war's.

Wow

Boeing AND Taytay?!!?😂😂

Considering what Vader dud to Fox in the comics, hes probably going to destroy Barris

First here haha, does Kal Skirata exist in Canon?

In this series Barriss is trained, then she gets sent after Ahsoka and shows up in the live action show.

When's this coming out about Barris?

👍

Wait, if the Inquisitors were able to use normal Sith lightsabers, why didn't they just use them instead of those weak spinning lightsabers? Oh yeah, Disney.

Please link the video you discuss trauma in the comments

It's not like Barriss Offee have a choice either way.

Short answer: No

She might until vader gets in choking range
