From Padawan to Enforcer: Barriss Offee's Unexpected Alliance with Kylo Ren in Jaw-Dropping Star Wars Cosplay

Barriss Offee undergoes a stunning cosplay transformation, showcasing her wielding of the iconic crossguard lightsaber wielded by Kylo Ren. Known for her role in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Barriss was once a trusted ally of Ahsoka Tano but eventually grew disenchanted with the Jedi Order. She resorted to carrying out acts of terrorism against her former comrades and was subsequently imprisoned. Following the events of Order 66, Barriss' whereabouts remain a mystery, leading to speculation that she may be the enigmatic Inquisitor hinted at in the trailers for the upcoming Ahsoka Disney+ TV series. Photographer @foto_sascha recently shared a striking image on Instagram, capturing the impeccable cosplay crafted by @berni.cos, offering viewers an exclusive glimpse of Barriss Offee's latest reincarnation brandishing Kylo Ren's lightsaber.

Barriss Offree’s Corruption Represents The Jedi’s Fall

The caption highlights the photo's lighting and emphasizes that the prop lightsabers showcase their vivid colors more prominently during nighttime. Kylo Ren's crossguard lightsaber illuminates the intricate details of the cosplay, emitting a stunning and eerie blood red glow. While Barriss is typically depicted as a Jedi in the on-screen portrayal, this cosplay presents her donned in a foreboding black cloak. If, hypothetically, Barriss managed to survive Order 66, it wouldn't be far-fetched to envision her succumbing entirely to the dark side and potentially even joining Palpatine's Inquisitors. Barriss is no stranger to wielding red blades, and this particular cosplay validates the notion that Kylo Ren's aesthetic would suit her impeccably.

Having reached the realization that the Jedi were aggravating the Clone Wars instead of resolving the galaxy's issues, Barriss succumbed to the dark side and resorted to extreme measures in her endeavor to rectify the situation. Ironically, this decision led her down the same path she believed the Jedi were on. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, they unintentionally assisted Palpatine in seizing control of the Republic, while Barriss' misguided attempt to combat evil transformed her into something even more sinister.

Barriss's narrative in Star Wars: The Clone Wars bears similarities to Kylo Ren's descent into darkness, making it appropriate for her to be seen holding his lightsaber in this cosplay. Both characters underwent Jedi training before ultimately losing faith in the organization, and together they could have had the potential to reshape the galaxy according to their own ideals. As Barriss's fate was left uncertain, there are numerous intriguing possibilities for her character in future endeavors. Perhaps she may even have the opportunity to wield her own red lightsaber.
