"[Realization](link title)" represents the fifth installment within the Star Wars: Tales of the Empire animated anthology series. This episode was initially broadcast on May 4, 2024.
Barriss Offee, an Inquisitor, and the Fourth Sister are shown navigating hyperspace aboard the Phi-class shuttle known as the Scythe. Their objective is to locate an individual suspected of collaborating with rebel forces. Offee points out the ambiguity of the intelligence regarding the target's status as a Jedi, but the Fourth Sister rebukes her for questioning the Grand Inquisitor's judgment. Upon arriving at a rocky world, they disembark near a dilapidated settlement, encountering fearful inhabitants. Offee expresses dismay at their impoverished state, questioning how the Emperor permits such hardship. The Fourth Sister asserts that loyalty to the Galactic Empire would bring them prosperity.
They proceed to an area populated by various species. The Fourth Sister aggressively demands the whereabouts of the Jedi, emphasizing the danger they pose. However, the governor denies the presence of any Jedi. In contrast, Offee gently inquires with a young girl, who willingly reveals that the Jedi is located in the mountains. Offee informs her companion and prepares to depart, but the Fourth Sister, enraged by the governor's deceit, initiates a killing spree, causing panic and terror among the villagers as Offee observes in horror.
The Fourth Sister emerges, glaring at Offee, who stands protectively before the girl who provided the information. Offee advises the child to avoid witnessing the carnage. As the Inquisitors journey towards the mountains, Offee argues with the Fourth Sister about her actions, but her fellow Inquisitor remains convinced of the righteousness of her deeds. Reaching the base of the cliffs, they begin to ascend the mountainside, narrowly avoiding falling rocks. By the time Offee reaches the summit, she finds the Inquisitor already engaged in combat with the Jedi.
The Jedi overpowers the Fourth Sister, leaving Offee to confront them. The Jedi attempts an attack, but Offee defends, urging them to surrender. She disputes the Jedi's accusations of treachery and murder, but the Jedi remains unconvinced. As Offee gains the upper hand, she implores the Jedi to surrender peacefully rather than clinging to a defunct order. Both lower their lightsabers, with the Jedi conceding their weariness of running. However, just as they were yielding, the Fourth Sister ambushes them from behind, declaring the matter resolved and seizing their lightsaber.
Offee insists on bringing the Jedi to the ship to save them, but the Fourth Sister dismisses the idea. She disregards the Jedi's willingness to surrender, prioritizing the eradication of all Jedi. In response, Offee declares that she has one more Jedi to deal with, and as the Fourth Sister activates her blades, Offee uses the Force pushes to hurl her off the mountain, discarding her own Inquisitor helmet after her. She then rushes back to the dying Jedi, reassuring them that she would try to save them and that they were not alone.
