#wrong jedi arc

[mademoiselle-cookie]

Bariss as a terrorist is not problematic just because a good and kind character get assasinated to prop up the MC without any preparation, or bc we lost a good example of a good Master-Padawan relationship, hence giving ammunition to anti-jedi. It’s also, and mostly, because of racism. 

The Mirialans are Muslim-coded, they are all women who wear the veil. It doesn't come out of nowhere if fans think that. In the West, if we think “veiled women”, we think Muslims. If the news talks about the problem of the veil, they are talking about the Muslim veil, not the Hindu veil, not the Amish veil, not the Christian veil, and no one hearing them will think for a second that they are talking about things other than the veil Muslim. The veil is a very characteristic element of Muslims for an average person.

(In the movies, Luminara and Bariss aren't even played by white actresses, so we can't say it's 'just a veil, nothing deeper behind'.)

The West has a history with Muslims and terrorism. 9/11 still has an impact today, even more so during the making of TCW. So using a veiled woman as a terrorist is clumsy at best, and not having bad intentions doesn’t erase the impact this representation has. 

This reinforces the stereotype of the Muslim terrorist used to harass and oppress members of this religion. I don’t make this “shortcut” between Bariss Muslim-coded and terrorism because I think all Muslims are terrorists. I do it because I live in a country where the veil is considered a symbol of evil, where women who wear it are insulted and attacked, where laws are created to prohibit them from displaying their religion and/or culture.

The fact that the writers chose Bariss to play this role is certainly intellectual laziness, but they could, and should, have thought about what that entailed. “Think before you act” is not a lesson that only applies to Jedi.

Never heard of ‘queer-coded villains’? This is when authors attribute traits associated with queer people to bad guys, hence demonizing these traits. Did these authors think their villains were queer? In the vast majority of cases, no. They simply used traits often associated with villains to emphasize the evil side of theirs without thinking more than that. The absence of bad intentions does not cancel out the damage it causes.

And all this reflection is based on the principle that the parallel between the Mirialans and the Muslims is involuntary. I haven't seen a quote from LucasFilm saying anything, but I find it hard to believe. The Jedi were created to be extremely diverse, in direct opposition to the Empire made up of mostly old white human men, and this is not the first time that Lucas has drawn inspiration from cultures and religions existing in our world, especially Arab populations. There is no reason to think that he did not intentionally use Muslims to create Bariss and Luminara.

The most absurd thing is to think that LucasFilm is incapable of being racist. These are the same people who whitewashed the clones, who used Arab populations as very clear inspiration for a group of violent slavers who communicate only through pig squeals and will be massacred by a white man without any real consequences. The same people who, after being acquired by Disney, will replace a black character with his white neo-Nazi abuser in his role as main character/love interest, who will whitewash an already animated character, who will create clones superior to the others who are incidentally more white, who will cast a white actress for a character who clearly had Arab features in animation.

So no, we don’t have a problem with Bariss being Muslim-coded bc we think Muslims are terrorists, but bc the stereotype of Muslims being terrorists exists and is extremely harmful to the Muslim community. 

If you can’t see that, check your own bias and bigotry. 

#LucasfIlm could have used one of the younglings from the arc where Ahsoka was kidnapped by hunters #we would have had the motivation and it would have been the opportunity to explain why no one was looking for them #(because that too gave ammunition to the anti-Jedi) #ahsoka tano #wrong jedi arc #the clone wars #anti TCW #star wars #racism #pro jedi #islamophobia #barriss offee

i wonder how long after this training session was ahsoka being charged with crimes she didn’t commit and was being chased down by clones as a criminal…

my poor baby deserved so much better

I love it when people are like “Ahsoka left the Order because she didn’t feel the Jedi were living up to their code!” because like. What. Did. Did we watch the same arc. Where in those episodes does Ahsoka talk about the Jedi Code? I don’t think there’s even a mention of it in the entire arc. Ahsoka left the Jedi order because she, personally went through an incredibly traumatizing event that made her lose faith in the Jedi. She couldn’t stay because of her personal feelings and trauma. And like, it wasn’t even going to be forever! It was explicitly stated that she was coming back!

#like I get that so many people hate the Jed and see Ahsoka as the perfect ideal Grey Jedi #but like the Jedi aren’t bad. explicitly in-text they are the good guys #you have to see that #you can’t just say nonsensical shit because you like Ahsoka and hate the Jedi #just Ahsoka’s good the Jedi are good we’re all good #ahsoka tano #wrong jedi arc #star wars #tcw #pro Jedi #anyway yeah just saw this braindead take in the tags so here’s a rant #stfu kor

[inquisitor-apologist]

Honestly, I think 80% of my problems with the Wrong Jedi Arc could have been solved if it was from Barriss’s perspective rather than Ahsoka’s.

Like, there’s still the very racist ‘only hijabi character turns terrorist and bombs a government building’ part, and the very weird thing where Barriss ‘wanted to make a statement’ but literally never does anything that makes a statement about the war whatsoever (seriously, bombing a religious building ain’t gonna build sympathy for your cause) but it would have forced the writers to actually come up with decent reasons for what Barriss did and would have definitely helped the character assassination.

#look man I love Barriss despite this arc but man it would have worked so much better if it’d been from her pov #this arc is such a hot mess #star wars #tcw #sw tcw #star wars the clone wars #Star wars tcw #sw the clone wars #wrong jedi arc #barriss offee #Ahsoka tano

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

Hmm thinking about a canon-compliant follow up of the wrong jedi arc with Luminara and the council dealing with the fact that Bariss is now sentenced to die. She's confessed so the issue isn't her guilt but let's say an execution wasn't actually something they expected to be on the cards when Ahsoka was first called to stand trial- this, the military perogative to execute a jedi padawan for treason, this is new and an escalation they've gotta contend with. So there's an appeal and there's attempts to lighten the sentence and maybe that works. Maybe it doesn't though and there is an extremely covert jailbreak

'I'm just saying what's true and you know it- if Anakin had been the  one accused, you would have believed him. You would have stood by him. I  just-’

'Ahsoka... I did believe you- and I believed that Anakin would prove it with his investigation.’

'And if he hadn't? If he hadn't got there in time, if the sentence had passed?'

'....' His brow was low, his face tired and unhappy. 'I don't know,  Ahsoka. I didn't think it would reach that point. ....the trial was not  as fair as it ought to have been. As it would have been without the  military tribunal. We didn't believe we were handing you over for an  execution, Ahsoka, please believe that if nothing else.'

She was still tense with anger and hurt, Obi-Wan knew, but he could see that she was listening.

This was not something she had realized, he thought with a clench of  his chest. She had believed, all this time, that they had thrown her out  to die. And even now he could tell that she wasn't sure if she believed  him.

'I am sorry, Ahsoka. Mistakes were made.'

He turned his gaze to the blur of hyperspace for a moment to gather himself.

'Mistakes,' she repeated, sounding slightly choked. 'Yeah, and I guess that's it, huh.'

He turned back to her. She was circling back round into her  bitterness, but he could not think how to soften it. It was what it was.

'The republic is changing,' he murmured, 'and not for the better. We  all hope that when the war ends...' he trailed off, but it sounded so  trite to say that things would be easier. 'Restoring justice in the  republic will be a hard journey,' he acknowledged at last, 'perhaps as  hard and long as the war has been. ...perhaps harder in some ways.'

He stared at the stars without seeing them, feeling the weight of it all.

He wished Anakin were here.

Anakin, Anakin. He had counted on Anakin to save Ahsoka, and here he  was wondering how he could bear the work ahead without him by his side-  he might, perhaps, just maybe, have come to rely on his young friend too  much. But he could think of no way to ease the ache of loneliness that  was taking hold of him, except to wish his friend was here with him.

'You must miss him too' he said softly to Ahsoka, who had been very alone for months now.

Her jaw tightened as if she resented the question. 'I've been doing fine on my own. He taught me well.'

'I'm not talking about skills, Ahsoka.' he hesitated. 'I miss him, and he's only been gone a couple of weeks.'

Her fists tightened in her lap, and he mulled it over. 'I missed you,' he said finally, and truthfully.

And that, finally, drew a sharp breath from her. She stood, turned  her back on him, gazing out at the stars, quiet except for her shortened  breaths.

Perhaps he'd crossed a line. Perhaps it was a line he needed to cross.

'Right, yeah, okay.' He bit back an instinctive comment about her  wit. It might not be the moment. 'Fine, I missed... everyone. You,  Anakin, Rex. Jesse. My friends. Home.

But I am fine, Master Obi-Wan. I'm... learning. Meeting new people. Moving.'

'Do you know where you're going?' he asked gently.

'Not really,' she answered wryly, and he smiled.

'That's no bad thing.'

Just learned barriss was four years older than Ahsoka in legends. Meaning that if ahsoka was sixteen during the wrong Jedi arc barriss would have been twenty ☹️

So I just told someone on youtube that the events in the Wrong Jedi arc could've been a trial from the Force because that's actual something that happens in the SW universe and that Mace wasn't a dick for saying it. Place your bets on how long it takes for people to start screaming at me lol

-scene break-

Loops was getting kind of tired of cleaning up after General Skywalker and Commander Tano’s banthashit, actually. First, it was the Citadel, then again on Kadavo, and now he was clutching the doorhandle of a speeder for dear life as Commander Thire flew like a madman so they could find the commander after she’d disappeared from the Noodle Bar. He had wanted to stay put and pet the cats more. But Commander Tano had found a comm in the apartment there, and had contacted someone, and then she had vanished as only a Jedi could. Fortunately, Saleha had been able to trace the general sector and level of the connecting comm channel, and that was how Loops had ended up here.

He would never criticize Warthog’s flying again.

“The only things in this area are industrial,” Commander Thire muttered, looking around. “What’s she doing here?”

“Would it have something to do with the investigation?” Loops offered. “Looking for proof?”

“Yeah, but Fox was heading that investigation,” he grumbled. “I was helping Stone and Thorn cover the rest of the work while he did.”

“So… just comm him?”

The commander hesitated, executing a few stomach-churning turns as they went lower in the city. Finally, he grumbled to himself inaudibly, and dialed a frequency on his vambrace. “Fox?”

“Thire, this had better be useful,” the other commander answered.

“It is, I’ve got a lead on Tano,” Commander Thire said. “But I need to know if there’re any ideas on where the bombing materials were made. She’s gone into an industrial sector on level fifteen, but I don’t know where to look.”

“Materials?” There was a pause, a long one. The commander muttered a few colorful phrases under his breath. Finally, Commander Fox’s voice returned. “Skywalker says nanodroids. If there’s somewhere near you involving nanodroid production or distribution, that’s where she’ll be. I’ll be tracking your coordinates and sending backup.”

“Copy that, sir,” he answered, disconnecting the comm channel. He tapped a screen on the dashboard of the speeder. “Loops, look up nanodroids within this sector.”

Loops did, marveling at just how much tech this speeder had. He’d assumed it was Saleha’s, but considering the seats seemed to fit clones perfectly, he now had other suspicions. After a short wait, the screen lit up with results. Fortunately for them, there weren’t many.

“There’s a factory a few kliks from here,” he said, “and a warehouse… right up there.” He sat up and pointed towards the end of the block.

Commander Thire glanced at the map, then swung the speeder into parking by the walkway nearest the warehouse, leaving Loops’ stomach following a second behind. Before they got out, he pressed a button labeled Anti-Theft, and Loops heard a series of ominous clicks and clunks throughout the vehicle. They got out and ran down an alley leading to the warehouse.

It was dark down here, especially at night. The lack of glowing signs and bright windows only made it darker. Loops dutifully followed the commander towards the grey warehouse between grey buildings under slivers of grey sky. For a color so familiar to him, he found himself focusing on the commander’s red paint like he would drown if he lost sight of it.

As they approached, his eye latched onto new colors. Light was flaring from inside the warehouse. Yellow, white, and red danced behind the broken windows, and the commander held up a closed fist for them to stop.

“Any chances the Commander might have set the warehouse on fire by herself?” he said quietly.

“Probably not,” Loops said, understanding the implication. She had come to meet someone here. And they had no idea who that was supposed to be, or who it had actually been.

As he scanned the building for any possible safe way in, Loops’ visor highlighted something out of place. An armored figure stood near a doorway to the building, mostly in shadow (as most things were down here). He tapped the commander’s arm and gestured with his blaster.

“What…?”

They used their helmets to zoom in. The figure wore Coruscant Guard armor, minus the helmet, but it was impossible to tell who it was in the dim lighting.

Commander Thire gestured them onwards, slipping into a creeping gait and sticking close to the shadows around them. As they crept closer, the light from the warehouse grew steadily brighter, and Loops found himself wishing quietly, that there was nothing too flammable in there. Then he remembered these nanodroids had something to do with the Temple bombing.

Wait.

Oh kriff.

Why were they going towards it?

Commander Thire signaled a halt again, and they trained their visors on the armored person by the building. Loops blinked, narrowing his eyes to make sure he was seeing things correctly. Finally, he clicked his visor over to night vision, and he felt his mouth drop open slightly.

The person was wearing clone armor, that was certain. But that person… they were not a clone. They were human, but their skin was too light for a standard clone. What was going on?

“Stay where you are and put your hands where I can see them!” Commander Thire called, raising his blaster and approaching the man. Protocol was protocol, Loops reasoned.

The man moved immediately, reaching down to a crate near him to retrieve a blaster, then turning it on the two of them.

The commander swore a remarkably varied blue streak until he dove to roll out of the way and Loops couldn’t hear him anymore. “Stun!” he yelled, and Loops switched his blaster’s mode before returning fire.

He hated firing at close quarters. It had never been a strong suit, although he was perfectly average compared to most clones. He much preferred a little distance between himself and his opponents. But, he kept firing, doing his best to avoid the commander and the enemy bolts flying his way.

When the commander was close enough, he launched himself at the impersonator. The man managed to step to the side to avoid getting hit full-force with his entire body weight, but it didn’t seem to matter.

Commander Thire grabbed the front of the man’s chest plate, using his own momentum to carry them both down, swinging himself around to land on his knees more or less. Their attacker was sent sprawling on his back, and the commander punched him across the face, disarming him while he was stunned.

All the while, Loops kept his distance, his blaster still trained on the impersonator in case he tried anything.

The commander rolled the man over and locked a set of binders on his wrists. “You’re awfully lucky I’m still feeling nice this evening,” he said in a deceptively light tone, “or you’d be dead in a dumpster somewhere no one would ever find your body.”

Loops did not doubt his ability to accomplish that.

“So what?” the man spat. “I’ve done my job.”

The noise of a gunship closing in drew his attention away from them, and he looked up and around, searching for it. It emerged from the grey surroundings, searchlights trained on the warehouse. The warehouse was looking a bit brighter now, wasn’t it? He eyed it warily.

“Commander, I think we should clear out,” he said. “That warehouse doesn’t look stable.”

The man on the ground laughed until the commander shoved his face into the platform underneath him.

Then there was a huge noise from inside the building, and it expanded outwards until the windows shattered outwards, raining shards of glass down around them. The gunship was hovering on another side of the warehouse, and as soon as the noise subsided, troopers in 104th paint dropped out of it, disappearing to the level below.

“Wolfpack’s here,” the commander remarked. “They’ll clean up. Let’s get this one over to them.”

He hauled the man upright, kicking the discarded blaster away from him. Loops waited to follow them, but they hadn’t taken more than two steps when the door the man had been guarding burst open, and someone else ran out, coughing from the cloud of smoke following them. Commander Thire shoved their captive roughly, setting his leg in such away to trip him onto his face. Ouch. He drew his pistols in the same breath, training them on the newcomer. His DC-17 blaster was still on the deck where he’d apprehended the man.

The new figure was much slimmer and leaner than the impersonator, but still looked near-human. They wore all black, including a full-face mask of some kind and a hooded cloak. As soon as they’d swept the scene, they drew–shit, was that a lightsaber? A red lightsaber?

Loops kept his blaster set to stun. He remembered some of the stories he’d heard about Umbara, and he knew a lightsaber’s ability to reflect the bolts right back. Better unconscious than dead.

“Are you kriffing kidding me?” Commander Thire said, also switching his weapons to stun. “Listen, I’m already pissed, do you really wanna do this?”

The new attacker charged, drawing a second kriffing red lightsaber, because of course they had two. They fired stun ring after stun ring at them, and they leapt and dodged, climbing a stack of crates before launching themself off of it.

Loops was slightly confused, but he didn’t have a lot of time to think about why. Something was off, but he couldn’t figure out what it was. He just kept firing, even as the person descended upon the commander–probably because he looked the bigger threat, which was fine with him.

The lightsaber blades were held straight out and parallel, and Commander Thire just… ducked. He ducked, rolled forward, stood up and pivoted around to face them. That was odd.

“That’s what I thought,” the commander said. “You’re not a Jedi. You’re not even Sith.”

The attacker screamed, charging him again, and this time he held his ground. He fainted high, then dropped again, slamming his elbow into the person’s stomach, then wrapping his arms around theirs and giving enough torque that Loops heard something pop. He winced at the broken scream that followed.

The lightsabers fell to the deck, deactivating.

“Nice show,” the commander said, then reared back and slammed his helmet into the person’s face. They slumped in his arms. “But it’s over now.”

Loops raised his comm, hoping Commander Wolffe wasn’t too busy right now.

“Wolffe.”

“Commander, it’s Loops,” he said, turning to watch the gunship. “Commander Thire and I are around the other side of the warehouse. I just saw a few of the guys drop in there.”

“Why the hell are you here?”

“Uh, we were tracking Commander Tano here, sir. We’ve got two suspects in custody with us, if you could give us a ride.”

There was a short pause before, “Yeah, sure. We’ve got Tano anyway. Let’s get them all back to the base.” The comm ended, and after a few seconds, Loops watched the gunship rise into the air and start towards them.

As soon as the Death Wings’ Venator dropped out of hyperspace after their most recent firefight–an annoying one, by the way–Sixes’ comm and holoprojector lit up like Coruscant at night. He answered the transmission first, figuring that was more urgent. When he connected, he saw Nero in one hologram, then Gree and General Unduli in another. All of them looked somber.

“What is this about?” he asked, looking automatically to his batchmate.

“I was explaining to the general what I–well, what Veek and I discovered,” he said, referring to his general. “Remember? You asked me to look into Commander Barriss on Coruscant?”

He nodded, turning his attention to the 41st members. “And?”

Gree was holding the holoprojector, but the image kept wobbling rhythmically, so they must be walking somewhere. They were in a bit of a hurry, it seemed.

“Commander Nero informed me Veekah couldn’t find records of Barriss completing her shifts in the Halls of Healing for the past few days,” General Unduli explained, her brows drawn together in concern. “I’ve just been myself and confirmed it. Master Che told me she’d not been feeling quite herself, so she said she was taking extra meditation time. But I’m not sure she’s been doing that either.”

Sixes narrowed his eyes. That was odd. “So what has she been doing, ma’am?”

“We’re going to her room now to find out,” she answered. “Here, we’re here.” She ran ahead of her commander, disappearing from the hologram momentarily until he caught up to her.

“Nero told us you had some hunch,” he said, looking to Sixes. “About Commander Tano and the Temple. That has to do with Commander Offee somehow?”

He sighed, rubbing his eyes. “I… all I know is Offee supposedly told Tano to check out this warehouse for clues about the bombing,” he admitted. “But, when Thire, Fox, and Wolffe got there, the place was on fire and Thire found someone there with Asajj Ventress’ lightsabers.”

There was the sound of a door chime. “Barriss?” the general called, her voice tight with worry. “Barriss, it’s Luminara, may I come in?” A muffled voice answered, and General Unduli shook her head. “I can’t do that, Barriss, I’m worried about you.”

There was the sound of the door sliding open. The two filed in. There was a second of quiet, then the hologram scrambled, reforming again to show a view of the floor at an angle.

Nero sat up. “Gree? General?”

“What is it?” Sixes asked.

“It’s the commander!” came Gree’s voice from out of sight. “She’s…”

He was interrupted by a frantic plea from his general. “Get her up! Get her up, Gree, she’s alive!”

Nero shot him a look, but all they could do was wait until they were moved to see anything. Eventually, the hologram moved again, swept off the floor by General Unduli. They could see Gree in the background, carrying Barriss Offee’s limp body in his arms. It looked like they were running.

“She was drugged or something,” the general said. “She’s unconscious but physically unharmed. We’re going right to the Healers!”

“There was some kind of microphone hooked up to the doorbell,” Gree added. “Made her ‘answer the door,’ telling people to leave or come back later.” He looked pissed.

“You might want to let the Council know,” Nero advised. “Considering Tano’s tribunal is in… thirty minutes?”

“Think the Senate will delay a whole tribunal for that?” Sixes asked. He had his reasons to be skeptical. Thire had plenty of stories about the Senate.

“They’d better!” General Unduli said sharply, her eyes blazing. Wow. She was pissed.

Nero blinked, a little impressed at her anger as well. “We’ll leave you to it,” he said.

“I thank you gentlemen for your assistance,” the general said, and ended the transmission.

For a few seconds, Sixes and Nero just sat there in silence, the hologram flickering every once in a while. This was a lot.

Had someone broken into the Temple? Was someone impersonating Offee? To what end? Were they after Tano alone, or did they have a larger plan? The bombing had certainly done a number on the Jedi Order’s reputation on Coruscant, and Tano’s running hadn’t improved her position in the Guard’s eyes, either. But she had been set up, hadn’t she? The warehouse, the stranger with the lightsabers but no Force-sensitivity… none of it was adding up.

“Wow,” Nero finally said.

Sixes just nodded, still mired in his thoughts.

“Uh… okay.” Nero was just filling the silence now.

He kept supplying silence to fill.

“I didn’t… when you asked me to look into that, I didn’t…” He trailed off. “She’ll know who it was, right? The real sonuva Hutt responsible for this. She’ll wake up, and they’ll tell the tribunal, and Tano won’t…” The sentence didn’t finish. “They don’t have a lot of cameras in the Temple, you know. I actually have no idea what’s gonna happen to Tano.”

Sixes nodded, slowly. At last, he said, “Good news: we know Saleha likes her.”

Okay it's kind of a funky wrap-up to the Wrong Jedi shenanigans bc they are clones and not Jedi, so they don't get all the information their generals do. But. Yeah, blame the Space! Qanon I made up. Anyhoo, there's a couple filler chapters coming up after this, and THEN we can start looking into the Orders arc!

@mercurydancer @23-bears @theultimatesandwich @rndmpeep once again, I have no idea who actually reads these....

I wonder what the Temple Bombing itself was like. Was it all at once, without warning? Or did Jackar double over in pain, screaming as the nano-droids dug into him just before they went off?

I ask partly because of this image and the curiosity it sparks in me:

Looks like the poor guy was in pain.

This might just be my favourite thing I've ever drawn 😭

I can't lie I'd actually been meaning to draw Kylo Ren with Miss Heed anyway (the fact that they're both my favourite and have such different aesthetics amuses me) but this trend gave me the perfect opportunity!

Alternate version:

#kylo ren #ben solo #villainous #miss heed #villanos #cecilia amanda kelly #star wars #star wars fanart #villainous fanart #steven universe meme redraw #my art #i got their height difference wrong!!! #remember that miss heed is wearing heels guys #no but they actually have similar character arcs #kylo studied to become a jedi then left to become a sith #it didn't work and he turned back to the light #miss heed went to villain school dropped out to be a hero #and still ended up being evil #they're like opposites #leaving this in the tags cause i'm a nerd #now i genuinely want to see how a situation with these two would go #heed looks so done here like she's ready to kill that guy

currently thinking about the downfall of ahsoka and anakin… if he had just left with her he wouldn’t have turned and he’d be living happily with his two children, wife, and former padawan turned extended skywalker family

Anakin during The Wrong Jedi arc: Oh damn, guess I spent so much time zapping Ahsoka into unconsciousness for hours for no actual reason that I totally forgot she needed to know other practical skills, too! Whoops! My bad!

#star wars #the wrong jedi #the clone wars #sw tcw #star wars the clone wars #tcw #anakin skywalker #anakin critical #anakin skywalker critical #ahsoka tano #ahsoka critical #ahsoka tano critical #seriously tho like anakin clearly has fairly serviceable 'detective' skills given how quickly he discovers the true culprit #while ahsoka spent all of her time doing everything it took to make herself look as guilty as possible while finding NOTHING #maybe if anakin had actually taught her anything of value instead of manipulating her into mistrusting the jedi #she'd have been better off during that arc

can disney/lucasfilm please leave barriss alone 😒? she deserves better than to be dragged into more filoni bullshit.

i would've treated her right 😭😭😭 i could save her..... filoni please........ leave my girl alone 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

#i genuinely might start freaking out if they actually make her evil #cuz she isn't. she really isnt. #she was against the jedi because of what they became as an institution during the war #but she isn't evil. she's NOT. please 😭😭😭 she's not genuinely evil #she'd be against the empire i KNOW it #her being an inquisitor would be so fucking fowl dude... a slap to the face for all barriss fans ever since the wrong jedi arc #can filoni tone down the islamophobia for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES #star wars #barriss offee #the clone wars #oil. #tales of the empire

I woke up at chose angst (Note: I know Anakin and Ahsoka’s situations were entirely different, I was just toying with the fact of Anakin being afraid of being abandoned too)
