“With all due respect, I seem to be making very little difference here. It’s like trying to move a beach full of sand one grain at a time. I could be replaced easily by any competent physician.” “And you think that your talents would be better utilized elsewhere.” It was not a question. “Yes, my Master. I do.” Master Unduli smiled. Even in the flickering projection Barriss could see those intensely blue eyes twinkle. “Of course you do. You are young, and your desire to be a shining force for good has blinded you somewhat to things all around you that still need attention. But I sense that you are not done there yet, my impatient Padawan. There are still lessons to be learned. Spirits require healing, too, as much or more than do bodies sometimes. I will contact you when I think it is time for you to leave Drongar.” Master Unduli’s image winked out.

In Medstar II, Jedi Healer, the book opens with the following scene:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a memory Barriss is having of a prior mission, and it's a scene I can't get out of my head. Why? Well, first cause it's an amazing scene, and I love Barriss Offee so much, but second because I can't help but contrast it to her actions in "Brain Invaders"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, let's be real. OOC, her actions are absolutely because the writers didn't think that hard about it, and they wanted a cool parallel to Order 66. But I'm more interested in looking at this through an in-character perspective here. Specifically, how much her actions in "Brain Invaders" must have haunted her later.
See, that passage from Jedi Healer is essentially proof that Barriss normally would be expected not to kill Lt. Trap. And that's something I think Barriss would have been all too aware of after the whole Ord Cestus mission wrapped up.
Her actions here make sense. I doubt anyone would truly fault her for what happened here— again, Lt. Trap did pull a blaster on her, and he's absolutely got the size advantage in that fight as well. It makes sense that she did what she did, especially when you consider the fact that she's been fighting in a war.
But would Barriss blame herself? Personally, I think so. After all, she'd know very well that she could've done better. She'd know that this didn't have to end how it did. And— if we're bringing The Wrong Jedi into this— it wouldn't surprise me if canon Barriss ended up resenting the people around her for not blaming her as well.
(She killed one of Ahsoka's men— someone who Ahsoka said was a friend! She panicked, and instead of using the Force to push Trap off her, she used it to grab her lightsaber and gut him! Why is everyone acting like she didn't do anything wrong?)
(Yes, I am absolutely fucking grasping at straws right now for my post order 66 Barriss fic, I know that, shushhhhhh. Trying to make canon actually work is DIFFICULT OKAY. CANON IS COMPLETE AND TOTAL BULLSHIT. BARRISS DESERVED BETTER.)

Barriss Day fanart collages
As I can no longer access/post on my original Tumblr account (under Polgarawolf), due to a dead computer during home rennovations and issues with the internet that resulted in losing the email attached to the account (and the apparent inability of Tumblr to do anything to help me), I have made a new account, Polgarawolf1. I'm the same person, though, and I'm still a big SW fan, though I generally lean more towards the old EU than the new DISNEY!SW version of SW canon. I tend to have elaborate headcanons for the things that I write or otherwise create in fandoms like this but I'm also an AU girl at heart, so I can and sometimes do entertain multiple possible headcanons for certain characters. I'm hoping to get something written for BarrissDay before the deadline, but that might or might not happen, due to real life issues. I'm not a techy person, so I hope that the person (or people) who has (or have) organized BarrissDay and the Barriss Offee Appreciation blog will know how to find this, based on the BarrissDay tag!
Please be aware that my version of Barriss Offee is based largely on the original version of the character, as she appears in cut scenes, etc., from AotC and RotS (and therefore has very little to do with Filoni's Star Wars: The Clone Wars nonsense, except for what I've modified to fit with my headcanon version of Barriss. Apologies, though, for the one image of Barriss with her hair loose/uncovered - it's how they drew her for the cover art of one of the MedStar books, during an unexpected attack, and unfortunately I'm just not artistically talented enough to believably alter it to try to cover her head/hair!), and as she was originally written in EU books such as The Approaching Storm and the MedStar duology. My Barriss is closer in age to Anakin Skywalker than Ahsoka Tano and is most emphatically not a terrorist who willingly helped bomb one of the hangars in the Coruscanti Jedi Temple, just in case anyone is wondering!
In any case, the collages are behind the cut! There are some just for Barriss, some for Barriss and Luminara as Padawan and Master, and a few based specifically on the MedStar books, with Barriss and Kornell "Uli" Divini (I have filled in for him as best I can, since there aren't any good images of him online. For those who are unfamiliar with the character, Uli is from Tatooine, attended Coruscant Medical, did his internship at "Big Zoo" or Galactic Polysapient Medical Center on Alderaan, and is something of a wonderkid, as he's already a fully qualified surgeon when either still eighteen or just nineteen, during the events of MedStar II: Jedi Healer, and is maybe barely 20 when the Clone Wars ends. Uli has something of a baby face but is extremely good at sabacc, which the various Healers - Jedi and otherwise - and surgeons and nurses of Republic Mobile Surgical Unit 7 often play with their friends during downtime. Uli's mother, renowned mudopterist Elana  Divini, is known for collecting "Alderaanian flare-wings" and one of his first meetings with Barriss happens when she's out doing a lightsaber kata and accidentally injures herself while he's in the swamps of Drongar looking at the local insects, sees her, and helps deal with her injury), who were at the very least written as good friends with the potential for more (if not for Order 66, etc.).
Apologies in advance for repetitiveness - I figured more would be better, even if it meant that I basically had to keep using the same scant handful of official images for Barriss from the films over and over, plus a few from the various animated shows. I'm aware that hex signs are a form of Pennsylvania Dutch folk art, but I've had it in my head for years (since long before Star Wars: The Clone Wars was made) that Mirialan art and particularly their folk art involve very similar motifs and also often the use of colorful stained glass and tiles, which is why I've used several of them here along with images meant to evoke stained glass artwork. No disrespect is meant to anyone and if anything bothers anyone, please let me know about it and why, so I can try to fix it or offer an alternative!

Quote
The news was shocking. There were supposed to be some rules, some accords, even in war. Hospital ships had heen considered inviolate ever since the Great Hyperspace War. Even though the orbiting ships were easy targets, the concept of damaging or destroying one was anathema to civilized beings.    Or had been, until now . . .

For the WIP ask game: What is The Lost Jedi about?
Thanks for the ask!
The Lost Jedi, or Sol Orbital III: Jedi Healer is a post-Order 66/Marvel crossover featuring a Legends Barriss lookalike who, following a misaligned emergency hyperspace jump, crash-lands in the Nevada desert around the same time—though not at exactly the same time, or in the same part of the desert—that various other interesting objects are touching down there as well.
The subtitle is a nod to my favorite Barriss moment/book, Medstar II; my familiarity with her Legends characterization generally is, however, by now distant and foggy enough—and I don't have the time to refamiliarize myself—that I decided to make the main character "inspired by" rather than attempting to actually capture her accurately.
Bits of it are in fact up on AO3, but at present it's on long-term hiatus and will be subject to some heavy revisions going forward; it also has a planned parallel fic—also on the list, although it has less substance thus far—that's a very different crossover with which it will eventually meet up.
(I'm still working on your previous ask, too—I just have priority non-fic writing work that's taking up the necessary bandwidth at the moment. It's coming, though!)

Hello MTV and welcome to my AU
[Regel Movie Theater, December 2015]
“A group of mysterious darksiders? Cool.”
*several scenes later*
“Oh, no, he’s hot.”
An AU in which the Knights of Ren were also students at Luke’s Jedi Academy who fell with Kylo Ren, or at least joined him. They are similar to cannon in name only.
Changes to Continuity
Episodes I - VII are the same
Episode VIII - Mostly the same plot-wise, expect it happens ~2 years after TFA rather than immediately after
Episode IX - Approximately 6 months after TLJ, things are very different: Snoke comes back all Maul-like instead of Palpatine, Rey is not a Palpatine, Ben Solo lives, there is no Reylo, (honestly I haven’t watched it since 2019 I should do that again soon)
I have no idea what happens in like 98% of the comics so safer to assume that that stuff doesn’t happen (the Handmaidens/Sabé stuff from Darth Vader 2020 very much happens)
I haven’t seen any of the live-action shows yet so who’s to say what I’m keeping from that
Timeline Changes
TFA still takes place in 34 ABY, TLJ and not-TROS take place in 36 ABY
Ben Solo/Kylo Ren is younger: born in 11 ABY and falls at age 15 in 26 ABY
Ben is one of Luke’s later students, rather than a founding student
The new temple is founded in 21 ABY with The First Five
Other Changes
The Naboo Handmaiden program is run differently by the fall of the Empire and Sabé is/was in charge of it
Rey officially has psychometry I guess? That’s how I’m explaining her vision at Maz’s castle and also I like the storytelling possibilities
Force healing doesn’t kill you or whatever. Medstar II: Jedi Healer cover art my beloved
Stormpilot my beloved is cannon to me
Jaina and Jacen are not Jaina and Jacen Solo from Legends, they just have the same first names and are also twins

- Medstar II: Jedi Healer
Oh, this section is so good, but absolutely brutal. Everytime I think about how the clones were perceived by the public, my heart breaks a little further.

Damn. Reciepts time. Specific spoilers ahead.
1. You want the question asked at 27:15, and Hayden's response. Clips of his answer can be found on other websites, but I linked the whole interview for completionism's sake. Anakin is posthumously in control, word of god, of all parts of himself.
Normally I agree, it wouldn't count, except that his force ghost appears to instruct Ahsoka in the World Between Worlds, which was recanonized. (Ahsoka S1E5: Shadow Warrior.)
Anakin's time on Nelvaan has not yet been recanonized out of Legends and into the present creative sphere, but this instance I'm referring to here is only one of what must necessarily be multiple times Anakin has faced the mirror, as by the time Revenge of the Sith comes around, Anakin is a Knight and has passed the trials.
2. I quote: "Offee was known to have an somewhat unorthodox view of the Force as she believed that the light side and the dark side were only words and the Force was neither good nor evil, whereas most Jedi believed the light side was good and the dark side was evil. [15]"
This from Barriss' page on Wookiepedia. Citation 15 links to MedStar II: The Healer, which was published 2004, around the same time as my Clone Wars 2D source on Anakin in the original post, which was released March 2005. I do grant that this is Extended Universe material, and therefore technically Legends.
However, 'The Healer' is one of the aliases that Barriss goes by after rejecting the Inquisitorius, which is now main canon again following Tales of The Empire S1E5: Realization, and is then the second order of Force-users that Barriss has canonically schismed with due to irreconcileable dogmatic differences, following the Jedi order in The Clone Wars [3D] S5E20: The Wrong Jedi. That episode was directed by Dave Filoni, now Chief Creative Officer for Lucasfilm.
"None of the Jedi recognize that darkness exists in them"
Incorrect, recognizing one's own darkness and rejecting that darkness is a basic and fundamental aspect of Jedi teachings

I look forward to your review! I'm rereading The Coming Storm at the moment, and then may finally get motivated to finishing Medstar II: Jedi Healer. Oh, and on more current non-Legends material I'm also about and eighth into Defy the Storm. Lots of storms going on, I guess.
Tumblr media
Still reading The Living Force. I'm actually much farther in now than when I took this pic over the weekend, before I got kicked out of the winery for throwing the book across the room--
No, no, I kid. In fact, there's lots to like about this book. Much of it is warm, funny, and full of Jedi details and lovingly crafted little scenes given to more obscure Council characters. Depa and Mace continue to shine.
I'm still... very much struggling with some aspects, some inconsistencies and contradictions that I can't tell are there on purpose to make a point in the narrative, or just unsuccessful writing. But I'll try to post an actual write up shortly when I'm officially finished.
