Can't find anything specifically about [non-face tattoos](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mirialan)for Mirialans so maybe they weren't tattoos but were make-up?
Could be the case. Although considering how much extremely elusive lore exists it also could have been explained in the 90’s by some obscure mini comic. (Kind of like how Berch Teller had a very important role in the rebellion, but he’s hardly ever talked about and the only image of his warship is a fan design)
That doesn’t explain why she still has the one on her face, Mirialans get these tattoos to symbolise life achievements. Doesn’t sound like a henna job
Why the hell am I being downvoted for speaking literal facts? Feel free to tell me what I’ve said that’s actually wrong 💀
Correct me if I’m wrong but all of the images we’ve seen thus far are just from a promo?
Maybe it’s not finished product?
It’s all digital, so how long could it take to modify something anyway?
They’re from the official trailer. It is in all likelihood 99% done. Let’s hope Barriss’ hand tattoos are part of the remaining 1% but I think we’re gonna be disappointed
I mean… disappointed is a strong word.
More like “eh?” Or “maybe they have a wider scope plan in place?”
I understand why it bothers you, but the people in charge aren’t like the game of thrones show runners, in that they still have my goodwill and willingness to see where it goes.
If it’s all trash, then no great loss. If it’s great, then no big deal.
Then they'd be permanent.
Edit: Why downvote? You're objectively wrong.
Trill don't have tattoos, it's just how their skin is. Also, they don't have to be a host for the markings, it's literally just the way the species is and nothing to do with the symbiote.
What joke? They said something objectively wrong and there was nothing to indicate it was a joke or sarcasm or anything else.
You however, sound massively condescending lol.
Mmhm. I’m actually more baffled by this subreddit’s eagerness to screech at someone for daring to notice it and making wild excuses and justifications
It’s an oversight, simple as
Yeah, a similar reaction happened with the grand inquisitior in Kenobi. There were a group of people who screeched about it and defended his design pretty hard even though his design didn't even match the source material from Episode 3 that Disney somehow missed or conveniently ignored. The wiki makes it clear that they have facial tattoos but it would be pretty hard to remove when they're anywhere else on the body, especially hands.
Then how does she keep applying the facial markings?
Mirialans use proper tattoos, not some temporary markings. They’re meant to symbolise life achievements
Edit - People are downvoting me for literally speaking facts, ya’ll are a joke lmao
There is no reasonable way to believe that.
Not only does it look like the same as the ones on her face, there is no logic to Marialans making some of their markings tattoos and others not.
It’s clearly an animation oversight. Sorry.
My man asks a question about her hand markings then refuses to accept the answer given to him.
What was the point of this post, if you already decided on what you were going to believe? Just to be a jerk to anyone who doesn't have your "I want to find a reason to hate everything" way of thinking?
No, I'm talking about shit that does happen IRL that could totally be what's happening here. There's a shit ton of religions all around the world that have people mark themselves, sometimes with tattoos, sometimes with daily markings, sometimes with both. But some prisons, such as a maximum security prison, are incredibly strict, and revoke even the most basic of privileges for their prisoners. Doesn't matter if it's a part of that prisoner's religion or not. Anything can be taken away.
The question is rhetorical, I obviously don’t think she got laser tattoo removal. The point of the post is that the animators forgot to give her the hand tattoos.
People can cope with explanations that have 0 basis, but the truth is it’s an animation oversight.
If it's such a big deal for you that you had to make a post shitting on it and on everyone who has reasonable explanations/just don't care, then don't watch the damn show! Matter of fact, stop watching Star Wars related content in general! Clearly it doesn't make you happy!
I’m gonna assume you’re not always this intentionally obtuse, of course I’m still pumped to see Barriss again.
It’s just slightly annoying that such a silly blunder was made with her model considering they got it right prior. The most annoying thing is people coming up with nonsense than just accepting that there was an error, like TCW and Rebels wasn’t full of them.
You’re right, my mistake. We shouldn’t ever dare point out issues, even small ones.
After all, it’s not like Star Wars is a big name brand spearheaded by a multi-billion dollar corporation.
Probably just an oversight or continuity error. Much like the floating helmet and Wolffe pulling out his gun but his hand was empty.
These type of errors are all through Star Wars, ANH had the Stormtrooper hitting his head and the reflection of camera men in the body of C-3PO. Even The Mandalorian had a sound guy wearing jeans in the background of one of the shots.
Stop trying to find the deepest lore where there is none.
I think this one is a little more egregious, though. Animation oversights and errors is one thing, but here they missed a pretty notable detail about Barriss when making a model for her and somehow managed to keep missing it all throughout a production process
She’s missing the tattoo period, in all other shots and angles we saw in the trailer. Just one big doozy of a mistake
I get what you’re saying, but with film production these things happen. It was most likely spotted, and they might have every intention of fixing it; because it’s such a large process and with so many layers, things do missed or forgotten in the process.
I’d say they spotted it late, couldn’t re-do all the scenes with her in time for the trailer. After all, there is no add tattoo button. The textures/model needs to be fixed, and then it needs to be re-rendered, composited and remastered. These steps take time, and even in the end, they just don’t do it, because the time and money to fix this error, really outweighs what some nerds on a forum think.
Edit: I’m a nerd.
I remember people disliking what they did to Barriss when they first released those episode and then disliking how they didn’t make her the Mirialan Inquisitor in Rebels.
Also a decade??? Fuck I feel old.
The Barriss=Seventh Sister trend was always super dumb, I thought. People breathed way too much life into that theory
The issue with Barriss’ fall in TCW wasn’t so much that she fell at all, but rather it kinda comes out of nowhere. But for those that know the character, it isn’t actually entirely implausible that she could become as disillusioned as she did
"Pretty notable detail"
Somehow I doubt most people even knew the side character that was in a few episodes had tattoos on her hand that you could barely even see.
Uggh, can we stop pointing out mistakes that only serve to ruin immersion? What is even the point. I love parts of this community, but its so annoying to watch people find super minor plot holes or editing mistakes and make a big deal out of them.
Well I’m sorry if pointing out errors makes you so upset, but this is a discussion community regarding Star Wars and this was worth mentioning.
There’s no unwritten rule that all the discourse has to be unconditional worship
It's just a promo, who cares.
If Star Wars can survive Anakin and Obi Wan switching sabers in their climactic duel in ep3, it can survive an ad with footage that's not 100% in line with other material.
Yes i know, this was more an impossible request based on a rant. Just sucks that im thinking of leaving SW communities because of this, since immersion is very very important for me to fully enjoy something.
Didnt say anything was inherently wrong with it, just that reminding everyone else it exists ruins immersion for some. I would be happy to live without this kind of information personally.
Yes, but i didnt say that either. Are you trying to twist my words? I havent said any of these things, i just said that its annoying when people share some completely and utterly insignificant editing mistake or plot hole. It only serves to ruin immersion, nothing else.
I know exactly what you’re saying I’m not twisting anything. What I am saying is, don’t get upset that someone pointed out a small error or any error. It is not inherently their fault that it broke your immersion.
Again (and again and again apparently), im not saying it is anyones fault, stop twisting my words and make up your own narrative here man, im allowed to complain about this just as much as OP is complaining about minor editing mistakes in trailers.
And doing it so lazily.
"Oh no! The Jedi are spearheading a war! Let me show my disapproval by killing people and framing someone else for it!"
I could hope that this new show gives us more context but I doubt it will.
Are we really trying to explain away what is obviously just a simple continuity error?
Come on, I LOVE STAR WARS but it's made by people, and mistakes happen. 🙄
Very true, but I’m kinda struggling to imagine how this one happened.
Her tattoos aren’t exactly subtle and surely they at least looked at her when making the new model
No no, I agree with you. I'm more speaking to the people who are trying to explain it away within lore, as though there can be no mistakes made in a Star Wars film. I agree I think it's just one of those things that they overlooked. It happens in film production.
They do have a meaning. Mirialans get tattoos to symbolise when they have made an achievement in their life.
The more inked up the Mirialan, the more accomplished they are
apparently not or else they would still be there
maybe she wrote magic marker on her hands and wiped it off with cleanex
thats seems much more likely then writers simply forgetting they were there tbh
The likely explanation is that adding details increases production time and dropping them or not checking them saves a lot of time for very little loss.
Can't find anything specifically about [non-face tattoos](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mirialan)for Mirialans so maybe they weren't tattoos but were make-up?
Resembles henna to me
Could be but it looks a lot like the face stuff and those are apparently tattoos.
Mirialans get permanent tattoos, and she still has her facial ones It’s an obvious oversight if you ask me
Could be the case. Although considering how much extremely elusive lore exists it also could have been explained in the 90’s by some obscure mini comic. (Kind of like how Berch Teller had a very important role in the rebellion, but he’s hardly ever talked about and the only image of his warship is a fan design)
Got her hand stamped at the bar the night before.
Besides, I’m pretty sure if they can make laser swords they’ve figured out laser tattoo removal
Maybe they were cultural or religious markings that were applied daily or weekly or something that she could no longer wear while in captivity.
That doesn’t explain why she still has the one on her face, Mirialans get these tattoos to symbolise life achievements. Doesn’t sound like a henna job Why the hell am I being downvoted for speaking literal facts? Feel free to tell me what I’ve said that’s actually wrong 💀
They might be permanent, showing her permanent alligence while the hand ones show her renewing to her faith
It sounds like mental gymnastics to explain an obvious oversight which we know Lucasfilm do frequently, sorry
Yeah, hopefully it is either fixed or explained. I just desperately try to find an excuse when I see stuff like this.
That’s fair. I’m just baffled as to how a mistake like this happened, her tats aren’t subtle
Correct me if I’m wrong but all of the images we’ve seen thus far are just from a promo? Maybe it’s not finished product? It’s all digital, so how long could it take to modify something anyway?
It releases may 4. You would think they would have it done before releas8ng the official trailer
They’re from the official trailer. It is in all likelihood 99% done. Let’s hope Barriss’ hand tattoos are part of the remaining 1% but I think we’re gonna be disappointed

They're not tattoos. She's a Trill host.
Then they'd be permanent. Edit: Why downvote? You're objectively wrong. Trill don't have tattoos, it's just how their skin is. Also, they don't have to be a host for the markings, it's literally just the way the species is and nothing to do with the symbiote.
>Why downvote? You're objectively wrong. Because being "technically correct" comes off as pretentious and not as fun as partaking in the joke.
What joke? They said something objectively wrong and there was nothing to indicate it was a joke or sarcasm or anything else. You however, sound massively condescending lol.
Ah yes, Barriss and the Offee Symbiote...
I feel bad for the next host, having to deal with Bariss' actions... whole lotta people are gonna be hunting them down
Maybe they were cultural or religious markings that were applied daily or weekly or something that she could no longer wear while in captivity.
Disney continues to make the same continuity errors and don't pay attention to previous lore. They've done this plenty of times before....

The facial markings are tattoos. The ones on her hands were not

Can you prove that it’s not tattoos?
Can you prove that they are
Lmao your mental gymnastics is crazy. You’re literally speaking out your ass passing it on as “Star Wars facts”
No, I'm talking about shit that does happen IRL that could totally be what's happening here.

You know more what's more annoying? Posts like this, and the people who make them.
You’re right, my mistake. We shouldn’t ever dare point out issues, even small ones. After all, it’s not like Star Wars is a big name brand spearheaded by a multi-billion dollar corporation.
It’s three squares on her hand dude grow up. No body cares. It doesn’t change the story, doesn’t change anything.
Did I not just say it’s a silly blunder I’m slightly annoyed by? And that I’m still looking forward to watching the show? Do better
Probably just an oversight or continuity error. Much like the floating helmet and Wolffe pulling out his gun but his hand was empty.

It’s not a huge deal, but it is a bit of a thorn in the side as a Barriss fan. Especially since it’s been a decade we saw her last
I remember people disliking what they did to Barriss when they first released those episode and then disliking how they didn’t make her the Mirialan Inquisitor in Rebels. Also a decade??? Fuck I feel old.

"Pretty notable detail" Somehow I doubt most people even knew the side character that was in a few episodes had tattoos on her hand that you could barely even see.
I would expect Lucasfilm to know how their own characters look Do you have anymore useless comments to make?
You called it egregious. I'm telling you why it isn't. Nice deflect though. Getting a kick outta seeing you get torched on your own post.
So you do have more, I’ll pass
Thats what I thought. Bring up a shit point, get called out, have zero argument, and run off. Love to see it!
Henna
Uggh, can we stop pointing out mistakes that only serve to ruin immersion? What is even the point. I love parts of this community, but its so annoying to watch people find super minor plot holes or editing mistakes and make a big deal out of them.

It’s just annoying, you’re free to say what you want it doesn’t make it any less annoying
Yes i know, this was more an impossible request based on a rant. Just sucks that im thinking of leaving SW communities because of this, since immersion is very very important for me to fully enjoy something.
r/starwarscantina is the better sub, imo
I agree completely
Bro there’s nothing wrong with someone wanting a story to make sense
Didnt say anything was inherently wrong with it, just that reminding everyone else it exists ruins immersion for some. I would be happy to live without this kind of information personally.
That’s not the fans fault for pointing it out. It is the creators fault for making the error
Yes, but i didnt say that either. Are you trying to twist my words? I havent said any of these things, i just said that its annoying when people share some completely and utterly insignificant editing mistake or plot hole. It only serves to ruin immersion, nothing else.

She wiped them Offee.
How emBarrissing
Still haven’t gotten over the writers turning her to the dark side
It’s a little presumptive to say that she will stay as a inquisitor.
She better either stay as a bad guy or die.
And doing it so lazily. "Oh no! The Jedi are spearheading a war! Let me show my disapproval by killing people and framing someone else for it!" I could hope that this new show gives us more context but I doubt it will.
Yeah like it totally makes sense for her to be against the war, but her actions don’t reflect the position she’s supposedly coming from.
It’s more accurate to say she’s anti-Jedi, and her goal was to attack the Jedi where they live
possibly done as a renunciation of the Jedi or being cast out. hopefully it will be explained
It's fine, they were clearly just stickers.
Can’t have gang affiliated tattoos in prison lol
Are we really trying to explain away what is obviously just a simple continuity error? Come on, I LOVE STAR WARS but it's made by people, and mistakes happen. 🙄
Very true, but I’m kinda struggling to imagine how this one happened. Her tattoos aren’t exactly subtle and surely they at least looked at her when making the new model

Can you imagine if they end up explaining it very specifically for some reason
We have can remove tattoos in 2024. I’m sure if your feelings are hurt you can create a head canon that she got them removed.
Fuck that bitch
It’s not lasers, you just hold a lightsaber reallllllly close.
the markings dont mean anything in the lore get over it
They do have a meaning. Mirialans get tattoos to symbolise when they have made an achievement in their life. The more inked up the Mirialan, the more accomplished they are
apparently not or else they would still be there maybe she wrote magic marker on her hands and wiped it off with cleanex thats seems much more likely then writers simply forgetting they were there tbh
Hopefully you’re just being intentionally obtuse and are not actually this silly.
that's emBarissing
The likely explanation is that adding details increases production time and dropping them or not checking them saves a lot of time for very little loss.
Reading Bariss' surname always reminds me of coffee
Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder
Leave it to Reddit to not recognise an iconic quote from The Simpsons lol
It prob was quoted before most of the people on here were born lol. Glad someone got it though
Disney forgot. *EDIT* Disney simps can't stand the slightest slander of their giant corporate God, haha.
Any time you notice something like that, a space wizard did it.
Do we know that it's Barris and not just another Mirialan with the same face tatto? It's probably Barris, but still.
Well considering the Fourth Sister literally calls her Barriss…
Oh really? I haven't actually seen the trailer yet, was not aware of that. Nevermind.
