Nameless Part Twelve - Apostate Page 4/10 I love that the Grand Inquisitor belongs to a species that avoids direct sunlight. Perfect for visual metaphors about being ~blinded by the Jedi's light~, and I take it to show how he adapted to life in the Temple in a way that works contrary to his nature. The comic is also available here on AO3.

will u wait until tote to include barriss in the comic??

So far I already included Barriss into the comic a little before Tales of the Empire was announced, but only in her TCW timeline.

Now, as to whether she will feature in the comic as an inquisitor, I do have to wait until TotE comes out, because I have a vague feeling they might resolve her Inquisitorius storyline by the Rebels timeline (either by death, changing allegiences, or other possible paths).

But if they do retroactively include her as having been an active inquisitor prior to or during the events of the first season of Rebels (since the Grand Inquisitor is dead by season 2, lol, darn it), then I do have a few somber chapters where she could be a very fitting side character. (So far, Trilla is in that role in those chapters.)

I also have micro appearances by other inquisitors planned for some comic scenes that are not serious, but I do not think I will include Barriss in any of the dark/absurd humour I like to pepper into Inquisitorius interactions.

Judging by the preview materials, Barriss is currently in her 'listening to Bring Me to Life by Evanescence on repeat' phase. I would hate to cheapen that delicious angst by making her into an ordinary inquisitorius goon.

In any case, I think TotE will have already aired before I manage to complete another chapter that could reasonably include her.

I do predict I will probably make plenty of fanart of her, regardless of the comic, if her TotE story will be enjoyable. So if you like her as a character and wish to see me draw more of her, I hope I can do her justice! :)

P.S. Feeling smug that I coincidentally made this chapter right before Tales of the Empire got announced. So Barriss and the Temple Guard Grand Inquisitor will be hanging out again soon, but canonically, woo. P.S.S. Its my birthday today! The comic is also available here on AO3.

Hello there,

first of all, I'm wishing you a speedy recovery! Illnesses are always very irritating, especially those which last over a longer period of time, so I hope you'll get better soon. I just watched the trailer for Tales of the Empire (basically season 2 of Tales of the Jedi) and I immediately had to think of you. It seems VERY relevant for your current chapter of the Nameless comic. I don't want to spoiler too much tho. Definitely worth checking out.

Either way, have a nice rest of the day!

Thank you!!

What can I say, Lucasfilm wanted a piece of what I have. 😎

(I love spoilers, I usually actively seek out spoilers, so if anyone feels like sharing them once the animation becomes available, please please do.)

Seriously though, I'm so happy I started the comic pages with Barriss and the Inquisitor before Tales of the Empire was announced, otherwise I'd probably have to change it all, so I don't look like I am jumping on some narrative bandwagon.

There is still a chance the animation reveals something new about Inquisitorius lore or details about the Grand Inquisitor that changes future stuff I had planned for the comic, but we shall see.

#if the Pau'an ever gets a name I already have alterative dialogue prepped for future chapters #I am pretty excited and mildly worried about the animation news lol #I hope they do a really interesting story with the inquisitors I really do #also I now have to crawl out of my hole and catch up with this once it comes out #random rambling #tales of the empire #swr inquisitorius #barriss offee #it was a month ago I was just talking about how come they never made her an inquisitor lol should've mentionrd it sooner #* insert apollo greek god bouncy ball prophecy meme*

I have spend about a third of the past six months sick, it's really annoying and I am so tired. First I had a month long streak of three different antibiotics for a sinus/throat/ear infection combo right around Christmas, and I now got a sinus/ear/eye infection combo right before Easter.

The eye drops and ointment I have to take multiple times a day make my vision fuzzy.

This post inspired by a) the lack of fanart for several characters who are not even that obscure, and b) the incredible itch I have to find anything for some random pairings I was 100% sure would exist with the kind of oneshots that go so hard they temporarily rewire your brain.

I feel there is not enough downtime any more between Star Wars content updates for the fandom ecosystem to really grow funky and weird about the newer stuff. There has to be a period of zero canon updates so that people can muck around in existing stuff long enough to give everything a go.

I just love typing in obscure characters or random pairings or niche topics for older Star Wars things, and finding at least a few fan creations where someone gave their whole little heart into making it. The end result may vary from seriously crafted perfection to godawfulness to purposefully silly nonsense, but damn it, all such things mixed together make for such an entertaining fandom experience.

#I do not want to make anything for these I just want to engage in them as a reader/viewer #I want to go wow ok that was weird but fascinating wtf #random rambling #maybe I am just bad at finding fanart but I expected different of ao3 lol

Aww yes, layer 66 on my newest comic page file has turned out to be the Grand Inquisitor's eyes underneath his Temple Guard mask.

I just thought that turned out neat.

If I had to make a guess myself as to which Temple Guard was the future Grand Inquisitor, I'd have picked this guy. Zero compassion. He just approaches Ahsoka from behind while she's in shock and yoinks her padawan braid clean off without a warning. Ouch!

On the other hand, this guard here is my fave. He's the only one to bodily come between a lightsaber fight to shield the younglings.

(A different topic is the survival instincts of said younglings and their elderly instructor, who does eventually also stand in front of them. But no one thinks to shuffle over somewhere safe where they wouldn't have front row seats to an actual deadly lightsaber battle featuring a person who has already killed Jedi. Okay, Barriss probably wouldn't harm the kids purposefully, but still.)

#I didn't come to much conclusions about the guards apart from them being highly ritualised in their movements #they also seem to be more prominent within the Temple hallways than at the edges of the Temple #jedi temple guard #tcw #pau'an inquisitor #I know he's one of the guards at Ahsoka's trial but I think the yoinking guard suits him better
