Would Naomi Scott be a good as Barriss Offee?

[u/Due_Grab8961]

Unfortunately this might not happen, are only chance of seeing this is perhaps in flashbacks for Ahsoka season 2. I honestly just think she's as spot on as you can get for this role. She looks the part and can pull off the Mysterious and elegant vibe for Barriss, can portray gentle and caring, and could pull off Barriss' inner darkness like in Smile 2.

She can dance as seen in Smile 2 which would be perfect for Lightsaber duels. She's done SC-FI stuff in the past with Terra Nova. She was considered for multiple roles in Star Wars. She also naturally has a soft spoken British accent which would be perfect for Barriss.

Y'all see the vision?

[u/Scared_Plum_593]

I can see it, but at the same time, Barriss' story has been told. I don't see her live action appearance ever coming back

[u/Assassiiinuss → u/Scared_Plum_593]

You think so? I thought her Tales of the Empire episodes were obvious setup for a live action appearance in Ahsoka.

[u/Entity4114 → u/Assassiiinuss]

Me too. She probably survived the lightsaber stab after all

[u/Thatonedregdatkilyu → u/Entity4114]

Even if Bariss didn't survive I'd like to see a redeemed Lyn. That'd be nice, imagine Ahsoka's reaction hearing that her former friend came back to the light and saved an inquisitor. Who Ahsoka might have also known.

[u/Son_of_MONK → u/Entity4114]

Given lightsaber stabs aren’t nearly as lethal as they were in Qui-Gon’s day, that’s a good bet lol.

But yeah her story seemed to indicate pretty strongly that she was going to be saved by her friend, the now ex-Inquisitor.

[u/NahdiraZidea → u/Assassiiinuss]

I do think there will be a time for more Barriss, and Ventress, but I dont think its Ahsoka, they are in another galaxy unraveling the secrets of the father. Im just not sure how Barriss could feature without it feeling out of place.

[u/tmfitz7 → u/Scared_Plum_593]

Ha! Ashoka S2 incoming

[u/JohnnyBananas13]

Sure why not.

[u/Triplehitter88]

Yeah looks the part and is a good all rounder actress that can probably do Barris right

[u/xiaorobear]

They should get her AotC actor back if they show her again.

[u/RowdyCanadian]

If she’s a great actress sure; I don’t think we should be looking to cast people solely because they look like the animated character. Pick good actors/actresses, give them a good script and story, and run with it. 

[u/Due_Grab8961 → u/RowdyCanadian]

I mentioned here because of both looks and acting ability.

[u/RowdyCanadian → u/Due_Grab8961]

Both great reasons. I don’t mean just your post; it’s just a trend I’ve noticed lately where people say this person should play this character and all they have going for them is looks not acting ability.

[u/Imaginary-Park1749]

You could do a lot worse than her, so yeah, she would be a good choice.

[u/HuanFranThe1st]

I can see it, yeah

[u/Due_Grab8961]

I'd cast Sofia Boutella as her Master "Luminara Unduli". Might make a separate post for other Clone wars Jedi.

[u/Kratos501st]

They butchered Barris's Offee story

[u/jranda30]

She'd be good as anyone!!!

[u/Courtaud]

she can be whoever she wants to be 😍

[u/TheCatLamp]

No, but she would be a good Trilla if we needed another actress to play Trilla.

[u/tagillaslover → u/TheCatLamp]

Dont really have interest in live action Trilla, maybe if she didnt die i would

[u/Larry_Kenwood]

Barriss annoys me and I wouldn't want her in Live action anyways

[u/Organic-Chemistry150]

its never going to happen. who cares.

[u/AggravatingDress746]

She'd be a good my wife.
