According to sources at The Illuminerdi, Lucasfilm is looking to cast Barriss Offee in the upcoming Star Wars: Ahsoka Disney+ series. An Asian woman in her 20s-30s is reportedly being eyed for the role of this live-action character who developed very close ties with Ahsoka Tano in The Clone Wars animated series.
According to our sources Star Wars: Ahsoka is looking to cast Barriss Offee. She is listed as a lead character in her 20-30 and they are looking to cast an Asian woman for the role. In The Clone Wars, Barriss Offee was voiced by Meredith Salenger and played by Nalini Krishan in Attack Of The Clones.
Barriss Offee is a Mirialan and was a Jedi Padawan along with Ahsoka Tano during the Clone War before graduating to Jedi Knight. She trained under the Jedi Master Luminara and bonded with Ahsoka during the second battle of Geonosis where the two Padawans nearly lost their lives fighting against the Separatists.
As is the case with all non-official Star Wars casting reports, take this latest one with as much salt as possible until we get word from Disney/Lucasfilm.
