Head
Light flesh head with dark blue tattoos, blue eyes, and neutral expression. Features a standard dual-sided printing layout for the era (though the back is hidden by the hood). Uses the standard head mold.
Torso
Black torso with simple dark grey and silver belt printing and minimal robes outlining the front. Includes solid black arms and light flesh hands.
Legs
Standard black brick-built lower sloping dress/robe piece rather than standard articulated legs, adding to the Jedi Padawan ascetic look.
Accessories
Dark blue fabric hood and matching dark blue fabric cape attached around the neck under the head piece.
Color Scheme
Dark blue, black, silver, and light flesh. The dark blue textiles match her Clone Wars appearance.
Printing Details
Standard 2009 LEGO Star Wars pad printing. Simple geometric belt lines on the torso and facial tattoo details on the head.
Variants
Appeared in a later 2014 updated version with more detailed printing and a green lightsaber based on her later Dark Side treason arc in The Clone Wars season 5.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include fraying on the soft fabric hood and cape edges, fading of the torso belt print, and scratching on the solid black slope piece.
Estimated Value
$10 to $20 USD depending on the condition of the cloth cape and hood.

Character Background
Barriss Offee was a Mirialan Jedi Padawan under Jedi Master Luminara Unduli during the Clone Wars. She famously fell to the dark side and orchestrated a bombing of the Jedi Temple before being exposed by Ahsoka Tano.
Design Notes
Utilizes the classic fabric hood and cape combination popular in early-era Clone Wars sets to replicate complex Jedi outer garments without complex new plastic molds.
Similar Minifigures
Luminara Unduli (sw0226), Ahsoka Tano (sw0192), and other Clone Wars era Jedi Padawans.
Collectibility
Moderately collectible for Clone Wars completionists and fans of the expanded universe era of LEGO Star Wars.
History
Debuting in 2009 during the height of the animated Clone Wars series wave, this was the very first physical LEGO iteration of the character Barriss Offee.
Interesting Facts
Her distinct facial tattoos are accurately replicated via pad printing, a staple feature of the Mirialan species in the Star Wars universe.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside other Clone Wars Jedi like Luminara Unduli and Anakin Skywalker on a standard black LEGO display plate.
Modification Potential
Can be easily upgraded using custom cloth capes or mixed with newer Clone Wars parts, though purist collectors prefer the original 2009 soft goods.
Overall Assessment
A solid, nostalgic early Clone Wars minifigure with iconic fabric accessories that represents a pivotal character from the animated series.
