The Way Out

"The Way Out" is the twelth episode of the Disney+ Star Wars series Tales of the Empire. It premiered on May 4, 2024, and is the final episode of the second season.
==Synopsis==
A shadow from Barriss' past catches up with her.
==Plot==
Years have passed since Barriss Offee left the ranks of the Inquisitorius while still taking place during the Dark Times. Known as a healing woman, Barriss aids two parents fleeing the Empire with their Force-sensitive child. Pursued by the Fourth Sister, Barriss faces the Inquisitor once more, though she makes a point to call her by her real name, Lyn Rakish. Buying the family time to escape using nearby ice caves, Offee also attempts to help Lyn find "the way out" from the dark side just as she did.
==Cast==
* Steve Blum as Attendant #1
* Anna Graves as Attendant #2
* Meredith Salenger as Barriss Offee
* Keston John as Father
* Rya Kihlstedt as Lyn Rakish/Fourth Sister
* Suzie McGrath as Mother
==Trivia==
*Barriss Offee is intentionally established as neither Jedi nor Sith in Tales of the Empire, having become something all her own in the Star Wars timeline.
*Barriss claims she is sending the family in need to "an old friend," and it is strongly implied this is Ahsoka Tano. This means a reunion and reconciliation between Barriss and Ahsoka likely happened off-screen.
*Steve Blum voices one of Offee's attendants, though the voice actor is best known in Star Wars for being the voice of Garazeb Orrelios.
*The ice cave appears to be a brand-new vergence in the Force, not unlike Dagobah's Cave of Evil or Ahch-To's dark side vergence below the First Jedi Temple.
*There's a strong implication that Offee convinces Fourth Sister to give up the dark side, having left her Lightsaber behind in the cave. This would explain her absence in Star Wars Rebels which likely takes place not long after Tales of the Empire.
