Hm. The idea does have merit, and technically it works fine, but it’s a long and slow-paced epilogue where Barriss is a main character out of nowhere. And because it’s long, you lose that lovely heavy momentum at the end where everything feels like it’s sinking sadly with Ahsoka, the Clones, and later Vader. I feel like your best and most tonally appropriate option here would be a far more truncated (like 90% truncated) montage of those few things, with the theme of ‘the galaxy sadly descends into a dark, uncertain future’.
I’m talking almost single shots, without dialogue, over a piece of music that leads into the final Vader scene. Something like:
[Sad, slow, ominous music]
- Barriss in prison
- Barriss’ hands unshackled
- Ahsoka and Rex burying the dead
- Fortress Inquisitorius under construction
- Barriss at FI
- Grand Inquisitor before students
- Barriss and other inquisitors bow to GI
- Vader at FI
- Padme’s state funeral
- Ahsoka at Padme’s funeral
- Bail Organa gives Ahsoka a comm device
- Ahsoka flies away
- Final Vader scene
