With Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 12 wrapping up the Clone Wars series, many of us still
have one massive question, what happened to Barriss Offee after Clone Wars Season 7?
I’m going to break down everything we know about the Barriss Offee after her trial by
Tarkin and the framing Ahsoka, along with some incredibly interesting theories about
her fate after the Clone Wars.

After Barriss Offee was caught for the framing and exile of Ahsoka Tano from the Jedi Order,
she herself was brought to trial.
The man in charge of this trial was none other than Grand Moff Tarkin, who at the time held
the rank of Captain within the Grand Army of the Republic.
As Barriss’ trial began, she was dragged into the Republic courtroom by two Jedi Temple
guards, with luminous Yellow Lightsabers.
One of these two Jedi Temple guards eventually went on to become the Grand Inquisitor, who
we saw in Star Wars Rebels, becoming inspired to turn against the Jedi order by Barriss’s
actions.
Despite participating in an evil act against the Jedi order , the Grand Inquisitor was
able to see Barriss’ message, which revealed the arrogance and flaws of the Jedi Order.
This is the last time we see Barriss Offee on screen, so what exactly happened at her
trial and where did she end up?
The first possibility is that Barriss was given the same trial as Ahsoka was given,
with the same punishment being sought by Tarkin.
Because of the extreme circumstances of the crime committed at the Jedi temple, Captain
Tarkin requested that Ahsoka be tried under the military courts of the Republic, instead
of a traditional Jedi trial.
This would mean that the punishment could be significantly harsher, even including the
death penalty.
If it is the case that Barriss was given a similar trial to Ahsoikia, she would likely
have been found guilty and handed the death penalty.
If this was the case, that would be the end of Barriss Offee’s story right then and
there.
She would not have witnessed order 66, or been able to become an inquisitor.
The next, more interesting theory is that Barriss was simply handed a punishment of
life in prison, which would mean that she would be stuck in her cell in either the Republic
prisons or in the Jedi temple, during Order 66.
If this was the case, she may have used the ongoing chaos of Order 66 to escape her cell
and go into hiding.
Adding further onto this, if she did in fact survive the events of Order 66, she would
likely be the very first target on Darth Vader’s kill list.
For the absolute betrayal of his former apprentice, Darth Vader would very likely want to slaughter
Barriss immediately after his turn to the dark, and give her the same fate as Count
Dooku.
Even if she wasn’t able to escape from her cell in the events of Order 66, Vader would
have likely travelled to the cell and slaughtered her inside
Another really interesting theory is that Barriss became an inquisitor for Darth Vader
and the Emperor.
Again, because of her betrayal of Ahsoka, which hurt Anakin immensely, it would be unlikely
that Darth Vader would be willing to forgive her actions.
Despite being against the Jedi’s involvement in the war, it is a bit hypocritical to become
an inquisitor, who are Dark Side users that caused more pain and suffering than many of
the Jedi did during the war.
I did see a lot of people saying that the Seventh Sister was Barriss' offee because
they are the same species and look very similar, but unfortunately we have confirmation that
this is not true.
While we do know that she is not the Seventh Sister, it’s still possible that she will
feature as an inquisitor later down the line in future Star Wars Content.
Following that, we have some confirmed information from Dave Filloni directly.
In an interview with IGN, Dave filloni stated that Barriss Offee had definitely embraced
the Dark side of the force, even if only slightly.
This could lend credence to the theory that she is an inquisitor that will show up in
future Star Wars content.
Filloni also went on to confirm that Barriss had been convicted by Captain Tarkin’s trial,
but not given the death penalty, disproving the first theory.
This means that Barriss is very likely still alive at this point, unless of course she
was sought out and killed by Vader.
Dave Filloni also confirmed that there are future plans for the character of Barriss.
We could potentially see Barriss Ofee appear in the upcoming Ahsoka show, which is rumoured
to be airing on Disney+ very soon.
Maybe she will try to gain the forgiveness of Ahsoka for her actions or maybe she will
hold a grudge against her for the events following her capture.
It’s possible that the two could face off in a duel similar to the one with Obi-Wan
Kenobi and Maul on Tatooine from Star Wars Rebels.
Other than that, I think the theory that Darth Vader immediately hunted her down and killed
her is the most likely, because of the hatred and anger he would have for her.
But let me know what you think happened to Barriss Ofee after the Clone Wars, and whether
or not you would like to see her in future Star Wars Content.
