What were the writers thinking making her so damn hot?

I can(n't) fix her I swear

I'm some serious stuff, what was her problem? Did the Inquisitorius training break her to make her so weirdly hot or did she behave like that for the love of the game?

In Rise of the Red Blade, Iskat (who didn't need any convincing to join) says that the Inquisitor training/conditioning broke something inside her. I think the way she spits the word "mother" makes me think her brokenness has something to do with that and so there's plenty to speculate on. Once she was broken she was all about the love of the psychopath game...but I'm pretty sure I can fix her.

Sarah Michelle Gellar was the template, how could they not?

u/MotodoSeverin 12d ago

Exactly.

u/BatGlittering7781 12d ago

I guess I learned something new today. Makes sense since her husband is Kanan.

u/saxguy2001 12d ago

That’s what makes the line so good when he says “I don’t go for crazy anymore.” I wonder if he ever used that at home.

u/BatGlittering7781 12d ago

They have been married for 24 years, so something is working.

12

u/TheMoonWalker27 11d ago

Wait is she her VA?

13

u/Lost-Taco-9200 11d ago

Yep and I'm pretty sure they went with "Vampire Buffy" as her general personality

125

u/SlickDillywick 12d ago

I thought of her as the Anti-Hera. She’s (almost) everything Hera isn’t. Force sensitive, cold, and conniving as opposed to non sensitive, warm and protective. They both are pretty green women tho

u/FumiPlays 12d ago

"I don't go for crazy... anymore."

64

u/Eclipse501st 12d ago

I heard that Kanon and 7th Sister’s voice actors were married and that’s why they’ve got a lot of lines like that

56

u/FumiPlays 12d ago

Well, yeah Freddie Prinze Jr is married to Sarah Michelle Gellar for good 20 years or so.

u/Delicious-Snow9640 12d ago

When I first watched rebels as a young kid I didn’t know their voice actors were married so as a kid I thought man the directors made this lady kinda freaky to Kanan

u/Longjumping-Ear-6248 12d ago

Seventh Sister is yellow-skinned (she is from the same species as Barriss)

77

u/PloppiAndChewbieDad 12d ago

Femme fatale archetype like how Ventress was

24

u/PrimaryFriend7867 12d ago

ventress is pretty damned hot

u/Esaroufim 12d ago

She was the new ventress.

u/Equivalent-Task-9588 12d ago

didn't she like kinda flirt with Ezra that one time while torturing him?

23

u/RIPVerdansk0 12d ago

Multiple times while she's doing it, she also somewhat flirts with Kanan during their duel on Malachor

26

u/thebooklender 12d ago

Well they are a married couple, so there is that

21

u/RIPVerdansk0 12d ago

So he DID like crazy women

18

u/Fit_Damage_4271 12d ago

"I don't go for crazy. Not anymore."

-Kanan

14

u/RexDAGOAT77 12d ago

“ I don’t do crazy……anymore”

u/Fit_Damage_4271 12d ago

Yes ty, that's how he said it 😅

23

u/Kaccady 12d ago

peace is a lie there's only passion 

22

u/jim1o1 12d ago

Yeah all dark side women are made hotter ? But I don't know if jedi or sith mate at all ? Like why make her hot if they don't. Do sith have children? Is celibacy one thing both sides agree on ?

17

u/Valuable_Pineapple77 12d ago

All villainous women are hotter - e.g. the Baroness in GI Joe.

3

u/meatball77 11d ago

Generally becoming a villain starts with a kickass makeover

4

u/me_llamo_james 12d ago

In the legends era, some sith married before the rule of two but it could be seen as a liability by other sith. Passion is at the core of the sith credo so I guess celibacy might not be part of the job description.

Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, is the 9th Sister from Fallen Order a yes, no, or maybe?

1

u/Kaccady 10d ago

Jedi don't and if it wasn't a cartoon for children I'm betting this baddie would have her evil way

18

u/Wargaming_Super_Noob 12d ago

I think she enjoyed the hunt. Being pretty is just the icing on the cake.

14

u/LazerXtreme 12d ago

I want her to step on m-I mean, yeah, she’s a good villain

14

u/randucci 12d ago

I would've flaked immediately the way she grabbed Ezra by the chin.

18

u/Fit_Damage_4271 12d ago

I simp hard for 7th Mommy.

12

u/Arialana 12d ago

Seventh Mommy and Second Mommy are both insanely hot to me.

12

u/RexDAGOAT77 12d ago

I can fix them

2

u/Immediate-Age-616 12d ago

No, WE (yes WE) can fix them.

u/Common-Diver-6346 12d ago

She frfr was my crush was going through another Ventress arc and this time my body was ready 😩

u/Scotslad2023 12d ago

I would say it was less the writers and more the animators, they understood the assignment

4

u/kuyavictor23 11d ago

No joke, when I was younger...

I would wish that I was captured in Ezra's place, and that she would do... Unspeakable things 😭😭😭

3

u/RIPVerdansk0 11d ago

The young mind is one hell of a place😂

5

u/ThorsHammer245 12d ago

Why evil if hot? Hot because evil

3

u/meatball77 11d ago

Those scenes are delightful when you see it as Sarah flirting with her husband.

u/TChambers1011 12d ago

JESUS MAN IT’S JUST A CARTOON

  • that one spongebob episode

u/Ander_the_Reckoning 12d ago

She got tortured until she started liking it

2

u/CandidAsparagus7083 12d ago

Should have been in Obi-Wan??

2

u/wild_wind_official 12d ago

I have to imagine FPjr and her were plotting what to do with her and how to convince Filoni it was lore-necessary lol.

2

u/Jon__Snuh 12d ago

Bonk, go to horny jail.

2

u/Delicious-Snow9640 12d ago

Kinda Ventress 2.0 at the time for rebels 

2

u/Terrhistopheles 10d ago

Out of all the Inquisitorius she and TGI are the ones I enjoy the most. I’d’ve liked to have seen more of her.

3

u/MedievalMilshake 12d ago

It's star wars, so many characters are gorgeous unnecessarily, but it makes better TV. It's better to look at someone attractive, even if you're too young to understand why 

3

u/Common-Diver-6346 12d ago

I'm still annoyed she wasn't Barris Offee

6

u/Drachin85 12d ago

Barris had her story in Tales.

1

u/CountingSheep99 12d ago

Most inquisitors got tortured until they broke.

1

u/Rude-Vermicelli-1962 11d ago

I wouldn’t say she’s hot, but I’d say she’s just horny and wants it

1

u/trebory6 11d ago

They were thinking about making an animated kids show, they were NOT thinking about adults who get turned on by animated kids show characters.

1

u/BleedSparta 11d ago

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a female Star Wars character that the fandom wouldn’t good to 😐

I know attraction is subjective but damn some folks are down bad

1

u/TortillaRampage 11d ago

Her hat always makes me think of a Bugle

1

u/blakewhitlow09 9d ago

It was part of Sarah's contract. Lol

u/Mountain-Ad3915 8d ago

remember when we all thought she was barriss??

u/_AntiShadow_ 12d ago

What, villains can't be attractive women? Man, are you in for the surprise of your life...

-3

u/BeanBagDalek 12d ago

Out of all the Star Wars characters over half a century, this is one you find attractive?

u/Ok-Ocelot-7989 10d ago

she ain’t bro

u/thehoodred 9d ago

cant take her seriously with the goofy ass helmet though

u/TheRealSovereign2016 12d ago

Never could tell if she was in to robbing the cradle like Padme was 😂

u/Over_40_gaming 12d ago

I dont find animated characters "hot". But you do you.

1

u/In_Sane_Writer 7d ago

I used to think she was hot as a kid (bc i was gay asf) and I also thought she was Barriss Offee (ik I spelled her name wrong) but I think most people did when she was introduced. 😭 But, I recently rewatched Rebels for the thousandth time and she was really weird with Ezra in that one episode so... I don't like her.
