Tales of the Empire Episodes 4-6 with Spacey Fan Commentary

She didn't want order 66 or anything like it. She wanted the Jedi to be less militant than they were.

[@DarkJediFarkas]

And Palpatine influenced her from the beginning.

[@firecat4529]

1:33 She didn't want the jedi's destruction I don't think. She had fair points against the jedi's behavior at that time (with her saying "the jedi lost their way" at the trail) but went about it the wrong way. Generation Tech has made a video about her for example which I think sums it up pretty well.

[@firecat4529]

15:51 I think in legends she also was a healer.

[@RemoteRebels]

I love that! I had no idea she was in legends

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Good reaction, as always, you 2. Ladies, I think these particular 3 Barriss Offee-focused shorts may be Dave Filoni and his Team's way of giving Us an entree to an Animated series telling stories of The Hidden Path. Most likely, Barriss Offee and Lyn Rakish will be some of the main characters. I hope this comes to pass. May The Force Be With You...

Yes, indeed, 'Fourth Sister' a.k.a. 'Lyn Rakish' is voiced here by *Rya* *Kihlstedt* (who also originated the role in OBI-WAN KENOBI)! 📜

This little series is SO GOOD

11:35 the child did give them the info and didn't lie about the jedi's location

[@RemoteRebels]

Is that why she spared him?

[@firecat4529]

@@RemoteRebels probably

[@DarkJediFarkas]

​@@RemoteRebelsI think it was because Lyn does not want to confront Barriss. She is hesitant even in Ep6, she only attacked Barriss because she didn't let her pass.

[@tylerschofield8299]

Man i loved her story

[@thetexanjedi95]

Sorry (kinda) ahead of time for the long comment, but like laying it all out. Episode 4: Such a good episode! Interesting to see this kind of recruiting for the Inquisitors, rather than torturing like Trilla Suduri/Second Sister, then again others willingly joined like the Grand Inquisitor, etc. I wonder if Barriss ever had to go through Vader's "training" which caused mutilation (like 5th & 6th Brother and 7th & 9th Sister). Also the black armor of those clones seem to be the phase 0 armor of the purge troopers. Episode 5: Very good episode! You'd think I'd be numb to the callous depravity of dark siders by now, but I guess I'm not (guess that's a good thing). That poor kid is so traumatized now. I wonder what the ultimate fate of that Jedi is? I've got no problem with more Jedi survivors in Canon, because just like the old Legends/EU continuity those Jedi couldn't stop Vader and Sidious, they weren't powerful enough. Luke was powerful enough and the only one (besides Leia) to be a key to Vader's future (rather than just a reminder of his past). Those other Jedi were never going to be massive players, sure they could cause ripples, but they weren't the tsunami. Episode 6: I liked this story, but I'm still left wanting about the ending. Not whining about it, though I want a closed conclusion rather than an open end when it comes to Barriss' and the Fourth Sister's fate. But I really am proud of how Barriss changed, I just wish she didn't do what she did and then pin it on Ahsoka. I will always love how Star Wars in both the Canon and Legends/EU continuities is a redemption story. Guess my faith plays a part in that, I'm a Christian, so it’s a fundamental part of me to believe that people can be redeemed, but only if they choose to be.

[@TAGATOR]

Both your expressions when Barriss got impaled was priceless, another reason I enjoy your reactions. Offee Barriss was right all along about the war, she knew the Jedi council was being played but didn’t understand the depth of the deception. I might be wrong but it seams to me the third season of the Bad Batch and the Barriss arch, the story is leading up to a series about the Hidden Path rescuing force sensitive children and that would be AWESOME!!!

[@amandaadler1860]

The e grand inquisitor used to be a Jedi temple guard, so interesting that he was involved in arresting bariss, then training her.

[@joshuahancock9379]

It’s so crazy that we waited over a decade to find out Barriss had turned back to the light all along 🥹

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Which explains why We never saw her in SW: Rebels, fighting for either side. Instead, she's become a pacifist Force Shaman. Most likely, she sends Force-sensitive children (and others victimized by The Empire) to the secret network, The (Hidden) Path.

[@hehu4025]

Barriss didn't want to destroy the Jedi; she wanted to end the violence they were perpetrating. Unfortunately, Luminara was her master so they had identical logic: - Ignore emotions (Ignoring attachment to the Order and Ahsoka) - Focus on realities (The Order is a broken and corrupt institution) - Fight evil at all costs (I'll sacrifice everything to prove my point and bring about change) The problem with this character was that she couldn't let go. Ahsoka simply left the Order, but Barriss couldn't make that decision. Just like Luminara had to fight at all costs, this is extremism. However, in the season 5, if we analys what Barriss says and her expression, it's evident that she literally feels ashamed and regrets what she did. The issue is that she can't let go and continues, making the situation even worse. She never was not an evil person, just a naive, lost child who believed that she can change the Order. And as for her death, half of the fandom doesn't believe it. Moreover, if it turns out to be true, it would be disrespectful, especially considering that Ventress, despite dying in a canonical book, returned. That's called favoritism, and I won't accept something like that.

[@RemoteRebels]

You're right! I was holding a grudge from what she put Ahsoka thru and the bombing and my dark side took over lol but I'm so glad she chose the light and became a healer

[@hehu4025]

@@RemoteRebels Believe me, I also hated Barriss when I first watched season 5. It was just personal. It wasn't until the third time that I did an analysis and really started to sympathize and feel for this character. In my opinion Barriss is one of the most complex characters. The voice actress even called Barriss a Force of Nature because she is both a calm pacifist and a terrorist. She can be helpful and destructive.

[@BH0060]

Well, this is a first, covering not just two, but three episodes in one viewing. Kudos to you, guys. Unfortunately, there were no Gonk droids in any of the episodes. 😁 Good to see how Barris and the other Inquisitor turned out to be at the end. Full circle. 💗

[@benjaminportilla9297]

When you started on these three episodes, coming off of the increasingly bitter story of Morgan, you both were so ready to hate on Barriss, and I was all, just wait until you see her as a paragon light-side Jedi healer!

[@RemoteRebels]

Oh I know my dark side took over a bit bc of framing Ahsoka and bombing the temple. I'm so glad her story didn't have a dark end.

[@kelleycarr9065]

Sorry so late… Loved it!!! 😁

[@RemoteRebels]

Better late than never 😄

[@swnerdlover2206]

You guys are as great as this series 😁✌️

[@amandaadler1860]

The “big one” is the ninth sister from the Jedi games.

[@racerx3654]

I think the friend Barriss was referring to is Asajj Ventress. Maybe we'll get a new sitcom where Asajj and Quinlan Vos work at a force sensitive day care center, oh the shenanigans. glad your feeling better E

[@RemoteRebels]

Omg I totally thought that after the fact! I hope it is and we find out for sure. Thanks I'm not completely 100% but anything is better than how I did feel 😊

[@artiemedley9369]

Classic case of finding out that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. I actually liked this redemption arc.

[@susanwitkowski5802]

Hey ladies! I loved her story and think she might still be alive....fingers crossed ❤

[@jericholacey5954]

Asoka would've been proud of barris, for what she become, a wise Jedi master.

[@DarkJediFarkas]

I think she is alive, Lyn needed to let go of her anger and hatred to find a way out. A way to help Barriss. I can see Barriss returning in Ahsoka S2. Maybe she and others will come to the republiks aid.

[@Eva_H]

So this segment to do with Bariss answered a lot of questions and also left us with a glaring question, is Bariss dead? I’mthinking not, hopefully Lyn Rakish (formally the fourth sister of the inquisitorious) healed Bariss’ wounds. The reason she looks like she’s aged is because she’s been using the force heal ability first seen in the rise of skywalker when Rey heals Ben. It was great to see the initiation process for the Inquisitorious, even though this is an elaborated in the novel rise of the red Blade. my only disappointment was that we didn’t get to see Vader V Bariss. Ultimately, I can’t see Dave wanting to kill the character off, especially if he wants to bring Bariss into live action to see her and Ahsoka come face-to-face, hopefully with apologies, forgiveness and healing. I mean, it would be the perfect redemption story if they wanted to do something that was very full circle. I mean if Bariss realises extremely quickly that she made the wrong choice and joining the Inquisitorious, she can make peace with Ahsoka and ask for forgiveness. The last time we see Bariss is the finale of TCW S5. When we see her at the start of her arc in tales of the Empire, she’s just felt order 66. Bariss ends up at the inquisitors base of operation where they have their own circle jerk council reminiscent (from a certain point of view) of the Sith Council of the old Republic prior to the rule of two. One of the inquisitors Ahsoka killed in tales of the Jedi and then there’s Marrock from the Ahsoka series.

[@e.x.watson9997]

I mean... I know the episodes needed a plot but, are we expected to believe this lady made it all the way up to inquisitor without anyone noticing she was a super softy? She does nothing but say Light-side stuff to other inquisitors and nobody goes "hang on a moment..."

[@Clarence_Oddbody]

I thought it was Kal Kestis at first.

[@iluvyummywaffles]

I also loved the redemption. The biggest disappointment was 6 episodes and no GONKS 😂
