%%* * DarkActionGirl: Ventress Barriss, the once sweet Jedi Padawan Ahoska befriended at the beginning of the Clone Wars, is revealed to be a traitor and Barriss. %%(Zero-Context Example)%%her fighting style changes reflects it, becoming more aggressive and sinister with Ventress' red lightsabers.

** Barriss Offee's MotiveRant accuses the Jedi have become corrupted by war and become an army for the Dark Side, and she was willing to do anything to stop it before it's too late. She says all of this right before Palpatine, who delights in this rant as he is secretly the one who led the Jedi Order into the darkness by engineering the Clone Wars in the first place. And little does Barriss realize, her extremist actions to stop the Jedi corruption has only made ''her'' the ideal candidate for [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTalesOfTheEmpire Palpatine's Inquisitorius program]].

* PutOnAPrisonBus: After Barriss confesses her crimes before the court, she is taken way to prison by the order of Palpatine. Barriss wouldn't be seen again for 11 years until ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTalesOfTheEmpire'' where it's revealed she is transferred to the Inquisitorius to be trained as an Inquisitor for the Empire.

* JerkassBall: Mace grabs it hard during Ahsoka's hearing, very much throwing accusations at her while the other Jedi Masters simply ask questions. Even Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, usually the one to stand by strict logic, at least has the decency to the ask Ashoka for an explanation to his own accusations.

* EasilyCondemned: Ahsoka feels betrayed by remains one of the Order most stedfast and loyal Jedi in the entire order. Yet when the evidence (and very circumstantial evidence at that) points her to being the guilty culprit behind the Temple Bombing, all but Obi-Wan, Anakin, Plo, and Yoda are willing to throw her to Tarkin's nonexistent mercy to save face in terms of public perception -- even though the Council were the ones who trusted Ahsoka to ''look'' into the bombing! Needless to say, she fought for, and can't forgive them.isn't so quick to forgive, ''especially'' when they [[NeverMyFault say this was just part of her great trial]].



* MythologyGag: Anakin's duel with Barriss mirrors the duel between Ventress and Anakin in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'', down to Barriss being a female force-wielder DualWielding red lightsabers (which are Ventress' own, to boot) and Anakin taking an aggressive fighting stance midway through the fight and clearing drawing the Dark Side of the Force in order to best his opponent, foreshadowing his upcoming FaceHeelTurn to becoming Darth Vader.

** The Council (with Plo's sole exception) not apologizing for throwing Ahsoka to the wolves and effectively acting like they weren't at fault for the whole thing didn't help matters either. The fact they didn't bother to conduct a full investigation into the matter of who really was the perpetrator (as all the evidence they had was entirely circumstantial) and just caved to Republic pressure not only drove Ahsoka to leaving, but gave Palpatine the perfect opportunity to help lay the seeds for when the Jedi would "betray" the Republic.

* ChronicEvidenceRetentionSyndrome: Lampshaded by Anakin when, after Ventress tells him whoever framed Ahsoka took her lightsabers, and he confronts Barriss about her role in events, she reveals she kept them after completing the frameup and getting Ahsoka caught. Choosing to fight him with them, however, proves her guilt far beyond their presence, and she's so far gone into her extremism at this point that she claims they "fit [her] better now."



* DramaticIrony: Palpatine gives a dramatic speech to the Senate court about how the Separatists have repeatedly infiltrated the Republic in order to destroy it from within. He's ostensibly talking about Ahsoka, but this is, of course, ''his own'' modus operandi, and ''the very court session he's presiding over'' is yet another part of it.

On the one hand, seeing him fighting a once-trusted Jedi gone bad should have made the younglings more suspicious of Anakin himself later; on the other hand, this very fight would convince them Anakin was still on the light side.

Underscored when Anakin tells her she should have gotten rid of Ventress' lightsabers, and Barriss responds that they suit her (not that she has fallen to the Dark Side per se, but that she can see a commonality between herself and a Sith, who is by definition an extremist).

* BittersweetEnding: More bitter than sweet, verging on DownerEnding. Anakin uncovers the true culprit just in time, clearing Ahsoka's name and saving her life. However, Ahsoka ends up leaving the Jedi Order, feeling betrayed by the Jedi Council and after nearly getting executed thanks to Barriss. Anakin is devastated and has lost much of his faith in the Jedi, and Palpatine has Anakin more isolated and angry than ever.

In many stories, some characters enter the story, serve their role, and move on without any fanfare. If they have served their purpose and exit the story, then it's not a What Happened To The Mouse situation just because there isn't some final "where are they now" information given. This trope is for cases where a character simply disappears without reason or acknowledgment by the rest of the cast.


* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** This is the last time Ventress is seen in the show proper. While her story arc continued in the novel Dark Disciple, for those who don't read the book she just seems to abruptly disappear from the entire narrative of the show.
** Barriss' fate is left up in the air, not showing whether or not she is sentenced to death by the Senate, punished by the Jedi Council, or how otherwise she is dealt with. What happens to her after Order 66 and beyond is also still unknown.
