This is an interesting place to close out Barriss' story. Is this a story about the Empire, or really just another story about a Jedi? Regardless, it covers some ground in terms of the Inquisitors and the pressure under which they operate. And I liked getting to see what became of Barriss.

Father, engineer, writer, consumer of all media. Many a thought on the above will be shared here.

Barriss Offee continues her journey with the Inquisitors, and it goes about as well as one would expect. The Inquisitors are not exactly subtle or merciful, and Barriss reaches a breaking point when the full extent of that brutality hits home. It's an interesting direction for Barriss' story to take, leaving things open for a surprising final episode.
Things switch gears to a trilogy of stories regarding former Jedi, Barriss Offee. This episode focuses on her first steps towards becoming an Inquisitor. For whatever reason, I don't remember this happening, but I do recall her role in The Clone Wars, so this is a logical next step.
Another jump forward in Morgan Elsbeth's tale, concluding a trilogy of episodes focused on her. This one was less effective than the previous installment. It feels like the trilogy of episodes ultimately didn't go anywhere; it might have been more effective to end with her meeting with Thrawn. That held enough weight that this felt extraneous.
