History YMMV / StarWarsTalesOfTheEmpire

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Despite her above-noted attempt at CharacterRerailment and her reforming, Barriss' redemption felt off to some. Her previous bombing of the Jedi temple aside, she did not really bring up her terrorist actions or show explicit remorse nor reflection on them. Additionally, her attempts to convince the young Jedi she and the Fourth Sister found come across as manipulation at best, as her attempt to "help" the Jedi would, at most have gotten the Jedi tortured into being an Inquisitor (although Barriss quickly leaves them) Also, in her third episode, [[spoiler:after stalling the Fourth Sister for a bit, Barriss stands aside and lets her continued to pursue the family with the force-sensitive baby she's after while they are in view, in a very misguided attempt to "redeem" her despite Fourth Sister implicitly trying to kill them and kidnap their baby. Combine this with the fact Fourth Sister massacred a village in the prior episodes without remorse and fanatically served an evil empire (albeit out of fear), even going as far as to let herself be stabbed and Barriss comes across as a borderline IdiotHero who takes unnecessary risks in a misguided effort to redeem someone who seems irredeemable. (It's probably worth noting that Barriss knows the other nature of this specific cave and that Fourth Sister would be trapped while the family escapes, but it still comes across a messed up to not directly stop her on principle.) Granted, this did seem to work at the end, but only time will tell. ]]

** General Grievous' depiction in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' depicted him as an unstoppable badass, which left many fans disappointed when he was hit with BadassDecay during ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', depicting him more as a DirtyCoward. While ''The Clone Wars'' did restore his credibility as a threat somewhat, many were disappointed that he was still a {{Jobber}} in some episodes (he lost to ''Gungans'' for Pete's sake), and a mustache-twirling villain in others that was still willing to cut and run when the going got tough. He gets the Darth Vader treatment in this series, depicting him as unstoppable nightmare who decimates the Nightsisters with ease, and toys with them when he feels they aren't worth the effort.

** It's been a long standing fan theory that after her exposure as a traitor to the Jedi Order, Barriss Offee would somehow be involved in the Inquisitorius. The first trailer for the series confirmed that she would play a significant role in its founding.

** Luminara Unduli, Bariss's former Jedi master, was canonically captured and imprisoned by the Inquisitorius, as shown in ''Rebels'', meaning that Bariss could have interacted with her somehow, maybe even helping spark her apprentice's HeelFaceTurn. But she doesn't show up.
** In the final episode, Bariss mentions how an old friend of hers can help bring the family with the force-sensitive child to safety. It's ''heavily'' implied said friend is Ahsoka, but we never learn how they reconnected and reconciled.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: As usual, Kevin Kiner delivers some new good tracks. Of particular note is "Morgan Elsbeth - End Credits", which incorporates her leitmotif from ''Series/Ahsoka''.

* {{Jossed}}: While the series shows Barriss Offee joining the Inquisitors, it also makes it clear once and for all that she did ''not'' become the Seventh Sister, a female Mirialan member of Inquisitorius featured in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', as some fans had speculated ever since the latter character first appeared.

* ContinuityLockout: Just as with ''Tales of the Jedi'', this show is not meant to be a stand alone show and will require a bit of prior viewing to fully understand. In particular, ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', possibly ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', ''Series/TheMandalorian'', and ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}'' are all required viewing to understand both Morgan and Barriss's story arcs.

** Barriss attempts to kindly question a child after Lyn tries to intimidate the whole village. She even takes off her helmet when she realizes it scares the child. The child runs to her for protection after Lyn kills the village, Barriss even let the child take cover behind her when she thinks Lyn was going to strike the child.

** Barriss's characterization in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' - an eventual fallen Jedi who bombed the Jedi Temple and later framed Ahsoka for the deed - was met with a degree of criticism from fans [[CreatorBacklash and her actress in]] ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' due to both a perceived lack of buildup and how it differed from her ''Legends'' incarnation; a healer who remained loyal to the Jedi Order until her death during Order 66. Her plotline in ''Tales Of The Empire'' shifts her back towards both her ''Legends'' self and her initial characterization in ''The Clone Wars'' to a degree; while she does get recruited into the Inquisitor training program as a result of her crimes, [[spoiler:she never embraces the role in the manner her fellow Inquisitors do, and ultimately renounces the Empire and returns to the light by the end of the show, with her final episode having her risk her life to convince the Fourth Sister to do the same, and indicating that she became a wandering healer]].

* UnexpectedCharacter: Amongst the Inquisitors, few would have expected the Fourth Sister would have such a large role in the show, after her brief appearances in ''Series/ObiWanKenobi''.
