Tales of the Empire: Barriss’s Tale

We often talk about how every Star Wars character’s story forms a tile in the mosaic of the galaxy, and Barriss Offee’s tale is no exception.

In our final “catch-up” episode to get back into chronological order, we’re covering Tales of the Empire: Barriss’s Tale (S1, Ep. 4–6, “Devoted,” “Realization,” and “The Way Out”). We dive into themes of redemption, the parallels between Barriss, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka, and the archetype of The Crone.

AND FINALLY! After a one-week holiday break, we’ll arrive at the reason Growing Up Skywalker started in the first place: The Mandalorian.
