Star Wars The Clone Wars Anakin Skywalker VS Barriss Offee

Season 5 finale

bitch please im the chosen one

[blanco]

Barris: "the only thing the Jedi council knows is violence."
Ani: <I'll show this bitch violence> *Ignites second lightsaber*

[pawarl.o.s.]

The Temple Guards: finally, we never get to do anything around here.

[kaifdathomir]

I love how everyone has their lightsabers drawn just in case, but they just don’t step in because EVERYONE is like “nah, it’s fine, Skywalker’s got this”.

[pugachevskobra]

I like how Barriss is like “oh yeah I’m gonna fight Anakin” initially and when he starts taking it seriously she’s like “wait oh no FUCK, I’m fighting Anakin Skywalker”

[kenobigaming]

“Take her away”

I like how genuinely bored he sounds

[zayden]

"The only thing the Jedi order believes in is violence!"

Anakin: *Ignites second lightsaber peacefully*

[swooshie]

What a reunion between Grand Inquisitor, Vader, and Bariss

[Jane_]

I love that when Barriss pulls out Ventress’s sabers, Anakin says “you should have gotten rid of them!” Like, he’s disappointed she kept the evidence 😂

[DimaEgorovRU]

His height is intimidating as hell, that and then his aggressive style makes him truly terrifying

[R.E.D.A.C.T.E.D.]

During her speech, Palpatine was probably thinking "she couldnt have given a better speech even if i wrote it"

[passiveplayz]

what i find kinda funnny about all this is that this wasnt a separatist plot. so even palpatine didnt know what was going on

[freebird]

I love how the stakes are so clear in this fight. In a normal duel to the death, Anakin would absolutely paint the walls with Barriss, but he needs her alive for her confession, hence why Barriss so often seems to have the upper hand as she's completely fighting to kill. But the moment she pushes him back enough, as well as brings things close to younglings who she could seize as a hostage, Anakin lets his Vader rage kick in and it's over in moments.

[theeldritchsource]

I can’t be the only one who wanted to see the temple guards throw down

[eldritchhollow]

Its cool how aggressive and forceful he gets at the end

[OvertheHedge]

Vader: Oh hey, Barriss. Ready for round 2?

[bryanaughal]

I can't believe nobody's pointed out the excruciatingly irony during Barriss' speech. She's essentially saying "we are responsible for this war and the pain it has caused" to the very man who caused the Jedi Order to be responsible for the war.

[princesscadance]

First pair of temple guards: ‘Cease hostility!’
Second pair of temple guards: ‘We trust the other two guards already told you to cease hostility, so we can save our breath.’

[DigitalApex]

I always liked how Anakin uses physical hits as he progressively starts to turn. He kicks and punches in the middle of the fight, surely distracting and demoralizing his opponent. You see it more when he becomes Vader. He just pummels his opponent with brute force, especially with those heavy gauntlets and cybernetic hands he gets shackled in.

[kotorandcorvid]

This arc shows that, just because a villain has a point, they are not in the right.

Despite having a noble motive, Barris has clearly succumbed to the dark side. First she kills a bunch of innocent people, frames her friend, says that Ventress' red lighrsabers "suit her" and then, despite having the opportunity to flee after kicking Anakin from that height, still chooses to come down and fight him.

[kianedmier]

i like how the padawans and temple guards just respect the 1v1
