I wasn't expecting something more lore-heavy. I guess we have ourselves a light-side cave (or perhaps just a force-sensitive cave) that only lets you find the way out once you've found the light side again. I didn't tho n it was totally implausible either. Why not? The Force has always been strange, and the way it's been expanded upon time and time again just continues to fascinate me.

Anyway, I thought this was a pretty satisfactory ending. Barriss grew up feeling conflicted, hurt, lied to and betrayed. Of course she would become a healer of some sort. I do definitely agree that perhaps we should have gotten more screen time with Lyn and Barriss, but I still feel Barriss is the kind of person to bring someone back to the light side out of loyalty and honesty to her true self AND the light side of the force.

I am sad that she may have died. I'm not sure her survivor or dying from her injuries makes this episode any better or worse though. I also think it's cool seeong a couple of inquisitors realizing their false ways and coming back to the right side. I don't think that's been done before?

A good finale to an arc that was quite enjoyable.

And a great series of shorts as a whole. I'd love to see more. Who doesn't want a Tales of the Sith? Or a Tales of the Rebellion? Or a Tales of the Resistance?
