Been rewatching TOTE *inquisitor brainrot setting in hard* and I have some thoughts on Barriss's induction into the inquisitorious and how it relates to the larger group

To be honest, I think that she was always "supposed" to win her duel and join their order and that the entire episode of Devoted was a set-up. Dante and Ahmar were potential candidates sure, but I don’t think the Grand Inquisitor or Palpatine expected them to win

We know that Palpatine actively sought out Jedi that were pushing back against the order as potential candidates for the inquisitorious, even saving them from Order-66 (Iskat)

The Grand Inquisitor was at her trial and commented that she "might not be as powerful as they thought"

She might have been the only Jedi to protest the war in such an open way, and, despite her efforts she definitely tapped into the darkside. Letting it pretty consume herself. I believe this resonated deeply with a certain temple guard who had already been feeling some uneasiness within the order

Now I think that the other 2 also fit into this mold, however they didn't seem has experienced or prepared

It’s interesting to note that the three of them knew each other and Dante had been friends with Barriss.

I’m going to guess that these 2 where young Jedi that had voiced problems with the order and where spared, but didn’t have the strength or notoriety that Barriss had.

The grand Inquisitor himself was the one to train Barriss, the same way he did Iskat while Lyn (a lower ranked inquisitor) was tasked with the less important job of training Dante.

If I had to guess it was a trial by fire, if Barriss won then everything went as planned and if not well then they have a strong new initiate into their order

Barriss proved herself and they already had a uniform at the ready for her once she was finished.

Now- we can assume that they might have had uniforms ready for the other 2 as well, however, I think they had their bets on Barriss since the Clone Wars

It wouldn't surprise me if we found out later down the line that she had spoke to Hezzo as well. Similar to Iskat.

Plus- I like the idea that Marrok was one of the first recruits and that the Eighth brother may not have been expected to survive his initiation

Hence his armor being "rushed" and looking so close to a previous design. They didn’t think he would win and this could be shown in his fighting style. Choosing to flee over stand his ground

The Empires mistake was thinking that Barriss was like them

That she fell to the darkside due to her hate/anger. Barriss made mistakes and tapped into the darkside but it was out of protest for the war and the trauma she faced. She was left in a cell to reflect and grieve.

The moment it came to actually fighting a fellow Jedi, she faltered

I honestly just love the inquisitors and I hope that we get more material following how they where as Jedi and the interactions between them

The day I get to see Iskat & Tualon in animation/live-action I'm going feral lol
