9 Biggest Unanswered Mysteries In Star Wars
You won't find everything on Wookieepedia.
Star Wars is famous for telling its audience just about everything. The franchise explains nearly every character, location, prop, or anything that pops up on screen throughout one of its films, TV series, or video games, or on the pages of one of its novels or comic books. Hardcore Star Wars fans can tell you the names of even the most minor of fighter pilots from the original trilogy, as well as their lengthy backstories.
However, not everything in the Star Wars universe gets spelled out like this. Some major questions, intentionally or otherwise, never get answered anywhere throughout the sprawling media franchise. Even the most hardcore Star Wars fans don't know the answers to these questions, since, for better or for worse, they're nowhere to be found.
Only Star Wars would tell you about the specific genre of music that plays in the Cantina scene, but leave out the answers to these major questions that have accumulated throughout the franchise's 43 years of existence. These lingering queries make the galaxy seem even farther, farther away.
Here are the 9 biggest unanswered questions throughout Star Wars.
9. What Became Of Barriss Offee?
After betraying the Jedi Order and bombing their temple, killing Jedi and civilians alike, Barriss Offee was sent to prison. She was seemingly kicked out of the Jedi Order, stripped of her status as a Padawan, and left to rot for the rest of her days.
However, we never hear about Barriss's fate after this. Does she remain imprisoned until her death, or could she have possibly escaped to antagonize the Jedi some more?
Additionally, Barriss was imprisoned before Order 66, during which the clones turned on and wiped out almost all of the Jedi. Since Barriss was no longer in the order at the time, does that mean the clones killed her too? Ahsoka Tano, who was not officially a Jedi, was still targeted by the clones at the start of Order 66. Does that mean Barriss was on their hit list too? Or was being an imprisoned former Jedi enough for the clones to leave her out of it?
If Barriss survived Order 66, there might have been another malicious Force users roaming the galaxy after the Clone Wars, like Jedi: Fallen Order's Taron Malicos. We'll never know what Barriss was up to during that time, or whether she was alive or not.
