I’m still imagining elderly Barriss sassing Force ghost Yoda as Rey backwards walks out the room and it amuses me so much.

Alright, fellow Barriss Offee fans, I've got a fiendish idea. I'm shooting for the Moon here.

I've been looking for an excuse to release expectation that Barriss will appear in Ahsoka or other Mandoverse properties with the part either recast or reprised by Nalini Krishan. It would be great if that happened but what if we think bigger.

The fact that Vernestra is showing up as an elder Jedi in The Acolyte has me inspired.

I now want Barriss to return in the New Jedi Order movie, in her 70s by this point, played by Iranian-American actress Shohreh Aghdashloo.

She shows up unannounced and is like "Okay, girlie. If you're serious about reforming the Jedi Order listen to what I've got to say. Frist of all don't build your temple on top of an old Sith shrine. Come on. We're going on a road trip, bring your whole polycule."

Rare photo of Nalini Krishan as Barriss Offee

[revanisadumbass]

Dare I point out that Nalini Krishan is exactly the right age to reprise her role as Barriss Offee opposite Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka?

[dalekofchaos]

I loved Baylan's character and I love Ray Stevenson's performance.

But I honestly think that role could've gone to Barriss Offee.

Barriss could've been the dark reflection of Ahsoka. Someone in the grey, but with something more dark with more of a philosophy than Jedi or Sith.

And Shin could've EASILY have been Barriss' apprentice.

The dark reflection of Ahsoka and Sabine, like it writes itself.

Nalini Krishan could've returned to play Barriss or Sheila Vand could be good as Barriss

I strongly feel like it was a mistake to just forget that Barriss even exists at all. Filoni did NOTHING with her. Now there is no role for her in this story.

[stellanslashgeode]

She seems super grounded and chill.

It's weird hearing this actor I associate so closely with Legends Barriss say "Ahsoka".

Fun that her voice is such a match to Meredith Salinger.

I asked a few similar questions, but also, if you want to hear what she sounds like, here you go.

[archduke42]

I have been curious....

I wonder if Nalini Krishan knows about the excitement of Barriss returning, maybe it's a possibility for her to reprise the role....

[jedimasterbailey]

Hey, Bailey, I hope your new year was wizard! I came to ask your opinion on Barriss being casted for the Ahsoka show. I know I’m buzzing that Barriss canonically lived (most likely the case) but a part of me is scared they will butcher her story and make her an inquisitor. I’m looking forward to she and Ahsoka banding and travelling together, ex-Jedi on the run. I can imagine the shenanigans already lol. Anyways, I hope Nalini Krishan reprises her role as no one can understand Barriss better than Barriss. Take care and have a lovely night! 💜

OMG ALEXEI 😍 You have once again graced my inbox with your lovely presence and asking me about my favorite ladies once again 💚💙 I love you so much and I hope you are having an amazing start to the new year and that you are having a wonderful day/evening 🥰 You continue to just make my day! This is actually a great question and a topic I’m genuinely so passionate about so I’m so happy I finally have the chance to speak on it…let’s begin 💙

I agree with you 100% that Nalini should be the one to reprise Barriss in any live action production. She is Barriss. We would not have the Barriss we know today without her. There’s no denying who you’re looking at when you pick up a Medstar book or google “Barriss Offee” whose face you’re going to see. George chose her to be Barriss, she didn’t even have to audition for the role (you can easily find articles on this subject with a simple search or check out Nalini’s social media to see for yourself) The man took one look and was like “yep get her fitted in the hood because that’s Barriss” 💙

Above all, Nalini loves her character very much and is quite proud to have been Barriss. She has read the Legends novels herself and has kept up with her character in the Clone Wars (and like all of us Barriss fans, she despises what they’ve done to her). Also she is at the right age to portray Barriss in a post Rebellion/Empire age as the character would be in her forties as the actress is. In a recent interview I saw her in, Nalini stated that she is listening and waiting for any opportunity to reprise her role in the Ahsoka. If anyone could restore the character back to her glory, it’s Nalini 💙 It’s as you have mentioned Alexei, no one knows Barriss better than Barriss herself.

Below is an actual conversation I had with her regarding the subject on Instagram a few months back.

See? 🥺 she doesn’t even care if she can’t be Barriss, she just wants her back like the rest of us! A sweet lady like that deserves to be refitted into that costume and hold that lightsaber again!

Lucasfilm…you’ve done enough regarding Barriss Offee. Do the right thing and bring Nalini back as Barriss 💙

Side note: I cannot wait for this woman’s image as Barriss to be tattooed along with the Jedi I have on me very soon 💙

Black Women In Star Wars: Episode IV

Mombasa, Kenya's Mary Oyaya as Jedi Master Luminara Unduli.

Oyaya is our final entry from the Prequel Trilogy. She is an actress and model, a child of U.N. diplomats, and has earned two Master's degrees--one in International Relations and one in International Social Development.

Her character, like previous entries Adi Gallia and Stass Allie, was a member of the Jedi High Council and a General in the Clone Wars.

Unlike her compatriots, when Order 66 was enacted, she was not murdered by her own clone troopers, but arrested and executed at Black Spire prison. The Empire hoped to use her uncertain fate and her residual Force-energy to lure the few remaining Jedi out of hiding when they attempted to rescue her.

Master Unduli had a Padawan learner, a Miralian like herself (by tradition, Miralian Jedi always train their own): Barriss Offee, who also appeared in AOTC and was portrayed by Nalini Krishan, the first woman of East Indian ancestry to appear in a Star Wars film.
