    I love what Jon favreau is doing on disney plus. Mando was great, Ahsoka was amazing, but Luke Skywalker was an absolute dream come true! Can’t wait to see what’s next for Luke, Ahsoka, Mando, Boba and of course Grogu!!!! Love the direction Star Wars is going. Thanks Jon and Dave! Thanks so much! ??

      INCORRECT – The casting call is for Sabine Wren

      Will the author who creates star wars posts actually do their homework on star wars. If barris comes to live action it will not be her debut. She was in Episode 2 seen in a meeting with the jedi council and the chancellor and was also seen in the arena on Geonosis. Please if you are going to make star wars posts do a bit of homework about it before giving false information saying that she will make her live action debut.

    This is factually wrong. While only brief, Barriss can be seen alongside her Master, Luminara Unduli, igniting their lightsabers together at the start of the Battle Of Geonosis when Mace Windu and the rest of the Jedi attempt to rescue Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme.

      Read it again. It clearly states that they fought together at the *second* battle of Geonosis. This happened during the clone wars series.

        There’s no need to reread the article. It is stating Barriss Offee’s appearance in the Clones Wars as her factual debut, and that she has never had a live action role, which is incorrect. While she does appear in The Clone Wars, taking part in the Second Battle of Geonosis, her first appearance was in Star Wars: Episode – Attack of the Clones, in the scene where Mace Windu, Ki Adi Mundi, and Yoda are having a meeting with Chancellor Palpatine. She is in the background with her Master, Luminara Unduli. She reappears later as a part of the Jedi Strike Team sent to rescue Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padme, which was the beginning of the *First* Battle of Geonosis. So while Barriss Offee did not have a speaking role and was essentially little more than an extra in Episode 2, she had appeared in Live Action far before even The Clone Wars animated show existed.

      Thank you! I’m glad someone is pointing out the incorrect statement. I mean, her Wookepedia page a the live action shot of her as her profile picture. Did the author not even do a single Google search before writing this? Also, Barriss is also seen earlier in the movie, during the meeting between Masters Yoda, Windu and Mundi with Chancellor Palpatine. She and Master Unduli are in the background, but they’re there.

    This doesn’t sound like they’re casting Barriss Offee at all. It sounds like they’re casting Sabine Wren. I don’t think we ever get Barriss’s exact age in Clone Wars, so I’ll guesstimate she’s the same age as Ahsoka – 15 at the time of her first appearance. That was 21 years before A New Hope, making Barriss 36 at that time. The Mandalorian is set ten years after New Hope, making Barriss 46 years old. That lines up pretty well with Rosario Dawson’s age – she’s currently 42.

    When Barriss was (briefly) seen in Attack of the Clones, she was played by Nalini Krishan, who is of Indian and Nepalese descent. While technically that is “asian”, Hollywood generally uses “asian” to mean _east_ asian, rather than south.

    A character in her 20s or 30s played by an asian actress? That’s not Barriss Offee, that’s Sabine Wren.

      I agree with Werrf. Sounds more like Sabine to me. Makes more sense considering she was last seen leaving Lothal with Ashoka on a mission to track down Thrawn and Bridger.

    I don’t know if she’s alive or dead but I’d love to see a live action Asajj Ventress. I’m not sure if she’s alive in the KKDSW2012~ Universe but she may still be alive in the GLSW7712 universe and she was awesome! ?

    1. Alexander Backert

      She’s dead. She died in a book back in the Clone Wars

      1. Corey

        Pretty sure that was in Legends, not the new canon.

  5. Benjamin Denholm

    Apparently I can’t reply, so I’ll just make a separate comment in agreement with Dakota Johansen, that the article is factually incorrect as Barriss Offee appears at least twice in Episode 2, during the meeting between Masters Yoda, Windu and Mundi, and Chancellor Palpatine. And later during the First Battle of Geonosis. Google is free!

  6. Corey

    Information included in this post directly contradicts what the author has written, correctly stating that Barriss appeared in Attack of the Clones.

    Googling would’ve cleared that up, but to copy/paste info into the article without paying attention to what it says isn’t great.

  7. Mark

    Barriss was popular? Uhhh, ok. if you say so. If popular means “not widely disliked”, then sure.

    Now Sabine on the other hand…

  8. Chris Foster-White

    Isn’t she an Inquisitor in Rebels?

  9. COURTY

    I so want to see what Barriss Offee has become: if she saw Ahsoka again and reconciled with her.
    I hope so much to see in the series “Star Wars: Ahsoka”, Ahsoka Tano seeing Barriss Offee again and talking with her after discovering her betrayal, in order to reason with her and eventually reconcile.
