Okay, two weeks to go, putting my cards on the table: there is no way in hell that Barriss is going to be an Inquisitor. That's not what this is. Everyone’s taking for granted that because the trailer sets up her training as an Inquisitor that means that we’re seeing a corruption arc for her, but just. Look at her. There is not a single frame of this trailer where she is not visibly looking for the exit. There is not a single frame of this trailer where she isn’t either visibly masking what she’s feeling or just looking determined to survive. This isn’t a start of darkness; it’s Ahsoka getting hunted for sport in Padawan Lost.

We aren’t doing the “we’re setting Barriss up as an Inquisitor so we can give her a redemption arc later” scenario. This is the redemption arc, this is her facing an in-universe attempt to force her into the fanon Inquisitor!Barriss mold that she doesn’t fit into at all, and she’s going to prove it and she’s going to outsmart all of these actual fallen Jedi she’s surrounded by who are trying to make her be like them. When Order 66 happened, Barriss was sitting defenseless in a cell and was offered a series of choices that weren’t real choices. But she knows that, she is not buying into it, and that offers her one, incredibly dangerous route to freedom: convincing them to trust her enough to send her into the field with a lightsaber.

It’s going to be rough, it’s going to be an incredibly dangerous, difficult path for her to navigate—they will make her do some messed up stuff to prove herself and for a moment it might look like she's given into despair—but she’s going to come out the other end of this miniseries having rejected both the Empire and the dark side. Not only as a Jedi in every way that matters but also as someone who is equipped with knowledge of how the Inquisitorius operates, which she can use to save as many people as she can from them—because she knows what happens when they take you alive.

And she's going to do it all onscreen in a story that is about her, she is the main protagonist here, and that is frankly something that was beyond my wildest dreams.

This isn’t wishful thinking on my part, this isn’t me trying to do a preemptive rewrite—this is me looking at what’s onscreen in this trailer, at what they’re telling us, at what they’re not telling us, and seeing the story laid out in front of us.

The only way out is through.

Idk why people always think that Anakin would still a Jedi if he hadn’t fell. Like it’s pretty oblivious in both Aotc and Rots that he wanted to leave the order, also why would he let the Jedi take Luke and Leia from him and Padme?! Anakin and Padme would NEVER give their children to Jedi!!! They wanted to RAISE them together in naboo or everyone just forget that??!!

I think people really forget or erase the characters personality and will( especially from Skywalker family)just to exalt the Jedi order. Because for some reason they believe the Jedi are a “found family”, the people that TAKE you from your family when you still a baby/child can’t be your found family, because you don’t had the choice…at all!!!

Everyone has been looking at Anakin's politics wrong going Republican this, Progressive that. He may be authoritarian (by way of Palp's grooming) but really he's the type of radical who distrusts the system so much he probably would think him voting was pointless on any level. The only politicians he trusts are ones he knows personally (unfortunately one of these is Palpatine). He trusts direct action over any politics but because of this distrust of the system he believes that if a politician was going to be able to do anything it would be in conflict with the system, leading to authoritarianism. I feel like I've cracked some sort of Anakin code, my eyes are WIDE open.
