The Tenth Brother's Identity Has Been Revealed - Darth Vader Comic Spoilers

[@spaceboomer564]

The Prosset Dibs subplot was the BEST and most interesting thing about the otherwise generic Mace Windu comic by far. To see a Jedi's resentment of the Council boil over with the stress of being on the field spoke very well to the deteriorating condition of the Jedi. I'm really glad we get to see more of his story.

[@nobody4248]

Reminds me of a certain tcw arc.

[@danielhales8169]

This is what we need from the new canon at the moment, all this connectivity. I'm hoping that we get to see the Corperation that makes the Correlian ships in Solo as that we can have live action VXC's and 12400's

[@darthtroller]

IDK why I never expected this character to return and be the new Inquisitor

[@EM-lz4rb]

Darth Troller 66th like. Am I apart of the 501st now?

[@euphyllia6590]

I love the new shadow airborne troopers. Cool nod/evolution to the shadow utapau troopers

[@babysinclairfan]

They look like death troopers too, with the way they hold their weapons.

[@StuartLugsden]

Stupid me, I forgot to put IMO. And you are right about the lore.

[@m.jacobsilverman8945]

D.B Cooper Bear Agreed mate. SW Explained is quite educated on the SW universe. My only complaint is he and Hello Greedo seem to back all things Disney, where as Thor Skywalker, SW HQ, SW Comics, SW Theory and Geeks & Gamers tend to question the obvious massive problems with a Disney owned SW. TBF, I like all of them for very different reasons.

[@StuartLugsden]

D.B k

[@chaosfire321]

1:30 That would actually make a ton of sense. It's one reason so many real militaries randomize numbers of units and formations. To keep enemies guessing (also many of the other units getting merged or deactivated, but I don't think that the Inquisitors would suffer from that)

[@MTTT19]

Dave Filoni did state that Baris' story isn't over so who knows, she may pop an as an Inquisitor in another comic or perhaps in some other way.

[@charliefoxtrot3980]

I just don't get how fans complain about there being no grand unifying vision or direction for the entirety of Star Wars canon moving forward and pointing to the MCU as if it is some perfect flawless thing. (I love the MCU too so don't get me wrong...) This shows that there is. The current focus of Canon right now is pointing out the hubris of the Jedi and how they are not the be-all-end-all of the Force or the light side. The Last Jedi, Ahsoka going rogue, the Bendu, Yoda finding Force Rocks, Barriss Offee... it is all connected thematically. The Lucasfilm Story group are consummate professionals and they are knocking it out of the park.

[@ltb1345]

Disagree. I don't like how, outside of the comics, they seem to be moving away from Jedi and Sith in general, and Jedi and Sith were what got me and a lot of other fans into Star Wars in the first place.

[@tuckbanks8039]

CharlieFoxtrot tbh it’s something that’s always been bigger than any one person

[@TheJulian0727]

When i read it i know i see that name from somewhere. It’s so cool for them to connect different comics. Now the mace windu comics become more interesting reading it with a new insight about the character.

[@osvaldoolmeda3773]

This is the best comic series in this new Canon.

[@TownieGirl1974]

I wish the new Star Wars movies would connect like the comics, books & even video games do. The Sequel Star Wars Movies seem so disconnected from the rest of the Canon. Sometimes it hard to imagine that the galaxy that the events in the comics & books (and even earlier Star Wars Saga Films) are in the same galaxy that the Sequel films take place in. While I do like the new Sequel films in the Star Wars saga, their biggest issue for me is their lack of connection to the rest of the Canon.

[@cameronpearce5943]

I hope this means the Baris might be an Inquisitor

[@cameronpearce5943]

Or even better, she learned from her betrail of Ahsoka and turned down Palpatine when he tried to recruit her. I know that would mean she's probably be dead, but at-least she might get some redemption

[@a.morphous66]

Barris also appears in Revenge of the Sith very briefly, so she had to still be with the Jedi at that point.

[@gogoboymelton]

Bookhead714 That is a non-canon deleted scene. She spent the rest of the war after being arrested in prison. Both in Canon and Legends. In original legends she was killed in Order 66 as a Jedi but this was changed later.

[@a.morphous66]

Samuronite Wars No, she is actually in the background of a shot or two.

[@theoheiland6807]

I have proof she’s the Seventh Sister

[@TeamMaincraft]

Mace Windu screwing up Jedi? Wow what a surprise

[@nobody4248]

*cough* s5e20 *cough*

[@ugoeze7360]

After ending with that "execute Order 66" command, I immediately thought Vader owes Tarkin a lunch.

[@AbsolXGuardian]

I can't wait to see Barriss as an inqusitor! I want her and Ahsoka to have their own private confrontation in something

[@josephattwell1006]

1:37 This happened a lot throughout the history of modern war. Seal Team Six was named that to make the USSR think there were at least five other teams they didn't know about.

[@XepherTim]

I was originally disappointed that the Seventh Sister wasn't Barriss, but after how that character went... Hopefully if she comes back in the comics she'll be handled a bit better.

[@sergeantkreel4601]

Wow, this connection seems so neat and well-thought! Plus, it makes Tenth Brother more than just a background character. I wonder if we will also get to learn more about the other Inquisitors' backstories at some point.

[@Mulceber]

I hadn’t noticed this - I really hope Bariss is an Inquisitor too!

[@darthdeztroyerz5196]

Bariss died during order sixty six

[@Mulceber]

Really? I don't see anything about it on Wookieepedia's page for her. Can you cite a source?

[@darthdeztroyerz5196]

Jan DeWitt star wars comics made a video on it

[@adri2224]

0:17 those troopers

[@jdstudios1912]

I was so hyped when he revealed his name

[@edmondzippo6370]

This arc is fantastic. I can't wait for the next one though, the one about the castle. Damn, Soule is good at writing Star Wars, whether it's Vader or Poe.

[@treblazer]

as sooon as you said Mace Windu Comic i screamed oooooooooooooooohhhhhhh i already know who it is now

[@wildkatarn7141]

Never found the Canon MACE WINDU comic as interesting as his Legends counterpart... In his stand alone special back in 2003, we were first introduced to the character Asajj Ventress, the 7th Form of lightsaber combat (Vaapad) and the infamous Master K'Kruhk! I DO love the connection of making Prosset Dibs the Tenth Brother!

[@xknoewx]

Will you do a full video of the inquisitor line up and what we know of them?

[@massacrepromotionsofficial4302]

To be honest, I love the new Vader comics. However, they do miss opportunities constantly, such as having Jedi who have no canon death or ending become the surviving Jedi after Order 66. There are council members such as Eeth Koth, Oppo Rancisis, Yarael Poof, Yaddle and Coleman Kcaj who they can easily use as a strike team against Vader and his Inquisitors. Also there's non-Jedi council members they should use such as Quinlan Vos, Barriss Offee and Butler Swan. Genuinely wish they'd do something with these characters. The only reason I haven't said Mace is because I feel he'd be more appropriate for a film or a series if he survived and a comic just wouldn't do him justice due to his major role in the prequels.

[@massacrepromotionsofficial4302]

Conrado Javier Yaddle, Oppo and the others were developed in the EU and can be done again. New Jedi can be made too but nostalgia can also be applied. Also Quinlan and Barriss are still relevant in the clone wars. This is all my opinion, no one has to agree.

[@desrenati8060]

I feel like the tenth brother being revealed to be Dibs makes up for the underwhelming 'reveal' of the Iktotchi being nobody important or known. I was also sympathetic towards Dibs and i'm glad to see some closure regarding him, now they just have to tell us what's up with Barriss!

[@fixation9281]

This Darth Vader comic is the best thing I've seen in the new canon thus far

[@FeebleBird903]

A lot of people on Reddit were predicting this but I didn't think it would actually happen. It was a really cool reveal. This is the best SW comic coming from Marvel right now hands down.

[@voitteq]

What is the variant of these stormtroopers on the left at 0:12 ?

[@michajasniewski7875]

These are Inquisitor Troopers, consisting of clones from the last production line.

[@Draezeth]

Wow, the only reason I didn't think it was Dibbs was because they seemed so determines not to give the inquisitors any names.

[@FiqueAM]

It's great that the Mace Windu miniseries, which didn't feel like a very interesting story, now reads as an origin story for the tenth brother.

[@chadf6813]

I also thought it was so cool to see the Imperial Shock Troopers from EA's first Star Wars Battlefront game in a flashback!!!

[@Cnw8701]

Whoa, Shadow Airborne Troopers @0:10?! They look like former 212th clones!

[@4lphab3t4]

Something I was wondering if you could do an episode on: Battle of Yavin, if the Proton torpedo fired by Luke merely disabled the Death Star's outer defenses and superlaser, but left the station itself and it's crew intact. If the Rebellion were to decide to take the Death Star by force in a "land" war, would it be possible, and how long would it take? Preferably using Legends sources, and even the use of Force Unleashed characters Rahm Kota and the Starkiller clone as well as Luke as the resident force users. This is a question that I've had for a while, so it'd be awesome if you could address it!

[@lordarnold8524]

Love it. Also would like to see Bariss return as an inquisitor

[@Emars118]

What are the clones wearing Death Trooper like suits called?

[@nerissasesonske9769]

They're called Inquisitor Troopers and they're the last batch of Clone Troopers cloned, trained, and integrated into the military!

[@henryhammond7393]

And here I thought he was the new canon Asharad Het/Darth Krayyt. Silly me.

[@fulcrum6760]

Anyone get the feeling Mara could be among the inquisitors? The numbers are unknown after all.

[@morgankeegan7880]

Fulcrum 67 I desperately hope she appear. Either in the new TV shows, or in the comics, or both. Having her as an inquisitor who rebelled and survived the fall of the empire and meeting luke would be amazing. Or perhaps the last surviving inquisitor after the events of rebels who survived in to the original trilogy in the comics, that goes against tarkin but who knows. The eighth brother said there were more inquisitors. I just need her!!!

[@KamoseMills]

What did you think of the Mace Windu comic compared to the old dark horse stories that featured him and its nods to the Shatterpoint novel?

[@KitchenSinkSoup]

There have been quite a few nods to Shatterpoint in the Kanan comic with Depa Billaba and Haruun Kal.

[@schytoyamnaya9015]

What happened with the inquisitors after Rebels season 2? Se never saw them in season 3-4 or the Original Trilogy.

[@ThatBeastNamedMike]

I think you've mentioned the Knights of Ren and how they aren't force users but does it seem like these comics are leading to the creation of the Knights in some way that will be revealed just before Episode 9?

[@georgebardsley7129]

The tenth brothers design is amazing

[@penelopecat]

I hadn't made that connection at all. Thanks!

[@Lamrett]

I still think Barriss didn't believe at all about the Jedi losing their way, or even if she did, didn't care. What she said about the red blades suiting her, the bombing, the framing her friend... To me it seems more that she was just straight up out for herself.

[@captainbat37]

Do you think val from solo has anything to do with solos wife in legends

[@justafaniv1097]

I feel like Barris' return is inevitable at this point. I think there are really only two options for her character, either she became an inquisitor, or had a change of heart in prison, turned down the offer, and was executed. Maybe she escaped, but I doubt it, as Palpatine probably saw in her a prime candidate as a proven jedi killer, and most likely started working to turn her as soon as she was put in a cell.

[@inkedfritz3202]

This Comic is fantastic

[@critchie2686]

Why do the logos on the inquisitors in the thumb nail look more like sith empire logos than the galactic empires logo?

[@themonk2288]

Some Report Directly to Sidious, I'm Wondering if MaraJade is Qira, from Solo a Star Wars Story...The Emperors Hand, as Paranoid Sudious would have an Officer in the Ranks, Force Sensitive

[@ariesstorm9577]

Do you think the Inquisitors’ lightsabers all have adjustable blade lengths? It’s interesting to see the Tenth Brother with two shoto style sabers. I think that’s the first time we’ve seen Jar’Kai with a pair of shotos in the canon. I hope we eventually learn all of the Inquisitors origins and former identities. That moment when the seventh sister first sees Ahsoka in Rebels, something about the way she looks at her, it was like seeing a ghost from her past. I honestly thought and still believe that she is Barriss Offee, but the writers are holding off that revelation for some reason. I wouldn’t mind a novel detailing the Grand Inquisitor’s life from an idealistic and dutiful Jedi hopeful to a cold and calculating Jedi hunter, preferably written by James Luceno.

[@UraiFen44444444]

Nice Video :)

[@legodude146]

I’m guessing Bariss died in the clone wars episodes we didn’t see because I remember Dave said she was going to come back right?

[@JamesSkywalker1990]

I guess there is such a possibility that Barris was saved and became someone such a Sith Assassin or what.

[@Falxifer95]

In my headcanon Barris Offee is the Seventh Sister but I won't lose sleep if she isn't. I'd still love to see what's up with her after Order 66.

[@FearTheShadowz]

What do you think the Knights of Ren are or their motives? They weren't mentioned at all in the Last Jedi and I was disappointed to not learn anything about them, really since TFA. i believe if JJ wrote and directed the Sequels we might have seen them in the 2nd part of the trilogy.

[@nasher931]

Is the Tenth Brother a Miraluka? Would be a cool nod to Visas Marr from Kotor 2. I don't think her species has appeared in canon yet

[@j-rod5930]

does that mean the Inquisitors are at least jedi master level I thought they would be less because in star wars rebels kanan jarrus killed the grand inquisitor who is the strongest of the Inquisitors does that make kanan jarrus at least jedi master level? am I missing something?

[@iamaduck3484]

Also prosset dibs makes miralukans Canon is that correct?

[@eriklundstrom1336]

Hope we get a book for Baris and maybe a confrontation with Ashoka.

[@invective.]

What with the yellow arrow?

[@vi-pro_plays]

Ahsoka made the best decision when she lost faith in the Jedi Order she left them. The best thing to do when you loose faith in someone and in her case if you were accused of something you didn't do you just leave.

[@ShannonCarter55]

Always considered the Barriss who bombed the Jedi Temple and framed Ahsoka was an imposter (after all where was Luminara during these events). The real Barriss is likely rescued before dying on Felucia per her original fate. This is me as a Barriss fan speaking.

[@chrissonofpear3657]

Or she could at least be allowed to redeem herself. Did you every read the webcomic Reversal of Fortune? She has a fairly large role in that.

[@Gryphon2026]

It all sounds good to me, so far that is.

[@justan324]

i totally agree, barris should have been reviealed to been Seventh Sister, imagine how it would have been to Ahsoka back during rebels

[@moonj101]

I feel barris should be titled second sister with the grand inquisitor first brother. Your thoughts?

[@Apidooom]

There are dozens of us, DOZENS!

[@rlh1984]

My eyes went wide when I saw this.

[@calebbilling4984]

Charles Soule is a great writer, especially among Marvel's current roster, given their current... obsession, let's say. Obi-Wan and Anakin was a great comic, and while the entire Inhumans thing in mainstream Marvel was ultimately a flop, he at least tried to make that work- but, hey, that's what you get when you replace one of your major franchises with a cast best known for appearing in FF.

[@mitchellhayward6492]

I'm all for it. I think his straight up attacking Mace Windu was a bit too far, even for a Jedi. If it were up to me, I would have had an argument between the two, where the Inquisitor - adhering to the Jedi ways - really strains in forcing himself NOT to attack Mace, clenching his fist tight and so on. So that we still know that he's questioning the Jedi, but his disgust - and by extension, hate - has a chance to really get under his skin and fester. As for Barris being an Inquisitor, it could still happen. Just because the Seventh Sister happens to not be Barris - it doesn't rule out that Barris could be an Inquisitor as well.

[@bonez5682]

Do you think Quinlan Vos could be making an appearance in the series?

[@bonez5682]

That'd be dope. Wrap up his arc from the clone wars and dark deciple. I'm pretty sure he could still be alive. Maybe one of the last Jedi to be purged. It'd be cool to see a Jedi we already know.

[@firefox7977]

I hope Quinlan Vos appears and has to defeat a bunch of inquisitors

[@capkhi5070]

Huh, I wonder if Sam L. Jacksom Reads his own comics

[@trueambition6972]

I don’t think Barrie Offe should’ve been any of the sisters. She claims that the Jedi were losing their way, she was basically saying that it was being controlled by someone dark and would turn into something very different from the true ideals of the Jedi(hence Palpatine’s Empire). She went against the Jedi order because she thought it was blind it letting the Republic turn into the Empire, she never wanted the Empire to come. I doubt Palpatine would let her live anyways due to her suspicions

[@trueambition6972]

But I do think that Baris should’ve had some type of reference or be re introduced because it’d be cool to see where she fit in, if she were a rebel but no one would trust her, like imagine her going to Ashoka for her to forgive her.. Or her just thinking there’s no way to win and just living a pitiful life.

[@dominickrone5751]

Maybe Barriss Offee did die in Order 66 somehow. Even though it's not confirmed, it's very much possible. If she didn't die in Order 66, maybe she died in jail, or got out of jail during Order 66 and lived as a civilian on another planet, like Alderaan maybe, in which Barriss could have been killed by the Death Star when it blew up Alderaan. Or she might have become a criminal and got killed by imperial police.. so many theories can be made out of Barriss Offee's unconfirmed fate.

[@DarthTrae]

If the 10th brother was a jedi master then doesnt that make him the strongest inquisitor and possibly stronger than the Grand Inquisitor?

[@ClockUnClock]

I still think Barriss could possibly be the Third or Fourth Sister. Granted we have no idea where the Red-Skined or Black Twi'lek rank, or which inquisitor lightsaber Maul has. As seen from Fallen Order, I guess its possible Maul could have faced an Inquisitor and taken the lightsaber, while that Inquistor escaped, but probably not considering its Maul. I do kinda have a head canon though; what if Barriss Offee was the Fourth Sister, and was sent to track down and kill Maul. This could explain the Fourth Sister's disappearance, yet apparent armor still around, and how Maul has part of an Inquisitor's lightsaber, he faced off against the Fourth Sister (Barriss) and she lost to him. Until proven otherwise I like my theory :D

[@jayenlow1191]

Who's Mary Allen

[@rayreyes8084]

Why didn't the palpatine get rid of the chips in the last clones

[@a.morphous66]

He could use them. Remember Order 151?

[@peryite9979]

He looks like a high elf

[@takashi0100]

As cool as Bariss being an Inquisitor would be, if memory serves her motivation was being upset at the Jedi being the personal watchdogs of an increasingly corrupt government. So you'd have to put forth some effort into rationalizing why she would serve THE EMPIRE.

[@apology89]

I don’t think Barriss Offee is seventh sister; while Ashoka has become far more skilled with lightsabers, Barriss was already well trained enough to not rely on the intimidation of a spinning blade to do battle. I say this because although it is intimidating, both Ezra and Karen became skilled enough to hold their own against 5th Brother and Seventh Sister. Also I know it sounds dumb to point this out, but how could her voice change so drastically between Clone Wars and Rebels? I can understand losing the accent, but suddenly sounding like Sarah Michelle Geller is stretching it.

[@newish4547]

THE SEVENTH SISTER IS BARIS OFFEE??!! I NEW IT!!!! Well you said that might be a different person but the same species, sooooooooooo I'm right? Ehh probably not..

[@thezendu4550]

*Grand inquisitions.* Oh boy.

[@unluckyspade7897]

We need starkiller as an inquisitor

[@bickle8931]

I believe Anakin/Vader killed Barriss offee for what she did to Ashoka and it would definitely make him angry if she lived. Part of being a sith is destroying your past light self which includes personal connections.

[@wiibrockster]

Hopefully Baris could be an Inquisitor!!!!

[@batspam1013]

Am I the only one who already assumed this?

[@graysonrodriguez9123]

I feel so stupid for not putting this together lol 😂😂😂

[@sapphirewingthefurrycritic985]

Yeah, that's kind of why I don't like Mace Windu very much. I honestly think that if things went differently during the last days of the republic, he would probably be thrown off the council and probably out of the order entirely because he was basically the reason that Anakin went to the dark side. Sure there were other factors like Anakin having SERIOUS mental health issues but Mace was one of those factors. Anakin was LOYAL to the Jedi, sure his version of Jedi teachings were slightly different but that's not a bad thing, and Mace treated him like an outcast and basically shot a tank shell at his ego by not making him a master when he was allowed to be on the council. If Obi wan stayed on Coruscant I doubt that Anakin would have fully turned to the dark side, maybe had a bit of a mental breakdown because that is definitely something that would have happened eventually considering he was a slave during his formative years.

[@brickfanproductions5811]

Awesome

[@CadillacDeMille]

Star Wars Explained Why does disagreeing with the Jedi make you "dark" or mean that you've now embraced the dark side? Didn't Qui-Gon Jin disagree with the Jedi high council and think they'd lost their way but he wasn't considered to having gone to the dark side? It seems a little inconsistent. I know Jedi like Baris did something wrong and those acts should be condemned and may lead to the dark side but it seems though that the writers of Star Wars are implying and writing that disagreeing with the Jedi council means that you have embraced the dark side. This seems to be true in all cases but Qui-Gon Jins. Furthermore we know the Jedi Council had lost it's way a little; becoming a servant to the republic senate and not the force. Wouldn't that mean that the council had gone to the dark side a little? So why did the Jedi Council not give in and go all the way to the dark side while other Jedi who noticed the error in the misaligned Jedi Council seem to fall to the dark simply for disagreeing with the council; again with the exception of Qui-Gon Jin. Cannot a force user leave the order, be good, and adhere to the light without being a Jedi, or is associating with the Jedi Order the only way to be considered on the light side, good, or to have the right moral compass and perfectly correct teachings? What about Ashoka Tano then? She seems to be the only exception. Do you know of more? What are your thoughts? (Canon and Non Canon)

[@themonk2288]

Bariss Ofee, see Clone Wars,Season Five, Episode 8 Trailer, Hondo alludes that a Buisness man, wanted a Female ajedi Dead or Alive, Darth Plagueis had the Bounty Hunters take her from Prison...

[@DeutscherDummer]

I said this before, but Barriss betrayal was just badly done, I don't think they really know what do with her, since it did not fit her character at all. Maybe some story that take place during the clone wars and explain why she changed so much would save her story. Or just retcon it, lul.

[@DeutscherDummer]

Interesting. The question is if that was a plan for the TV series, that never got put into action because it was cancelled, or something later on. Still, I don't think Barriss turning to the dark side like that makes sense in-universe. They just had no other Jedi close to Ahsoka whose betrayal would have been shocking, so they chose her.
