Tales of the Empire - The Path of Hate

“The Path of Hate” is a disappointing end to the Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto) storyline. Instead of showing us her working under Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen), the storyline jumps to a time after the Empire’s defeat and Thrawn’s disappearance in the era of the New Republic where officials arrive on the planet to try and take Calodan away from the magistrate. Of all the possible stories to tell over her life, this seems one of the least interesting as its giving us basically the version of the character we’ve already seen in The Mandalorian rather than expand her story by showing us something new as she brutally kills and destroys rather than gives in.

While the first three episodes of Tales of the Empire deal with the backstory of Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto), the final three turn their attention to former Jedi Barriss Offee (Meredith Salenger) whose fall to the Dark Side was chronicled in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Tales of the Empire picks up that thread with Barriss being approached in prison by after Order 66 and the fall of the Jedi. In “Devoted” former Jedi Lyn Rakish (Rya Kihlstedt) offers Barriss a new path bringing her into the Empire’s new training program for Force wielders which is revealed to be the formation of the Inquisitors.
