Luminara did not give up on Barriss

I keep seeing people say that Luminara was cold and wrote off Barriss as dead, but I personally do not agree with this take.

When the padawans detonated the droid factory, Luminara and Anakin had no idea where they were, and the padawans were literally about to suffocate had Ahsoka not found a way to send that signal. Luminara was mentally preparing herself for the possibility that she would lose her padawan, who she did care a great deal about. And her instinct about losing the padawans was correct - the padawans were so close to dying.

Keep in mind that as an experienced Jedi master, she could sense her padawan’s life drifting away through the force, and her instincts were right. Barriss was moments away from suffocating. But as soon as they receive that signal, she jumps into action to save her padawan, and you can see the visible relief and happiness on luminara’s face when Barriss is alive.

As the rescue was underway, Luminara was being calm and mentally bracing herself for the very likely possibility. I think that pairing Anakin with Luminara showed his inability to let go, which as we all know, would have massive consequences for the galaxy. You can tell Luminara was very happy to see that her padawan survived the mission. She says that she will celebrate her padawan if Barriss passes, and I think people miss this part. All in all, I think people mistake her calmness and ability to let go with her being cold.

I am a teenager who got into trading

Hello everyone! I’m a teenager who got into trading futures with the help of my friend. I lost a bit at first, but this week I made almost 4000 dollars. I have a bit of savings, and none of this money that I’m using is essential for living expenses or anything, so I earmarked this money for learning how to trade (it’s only a small percentage of my savings). I’m terrified that I will let my emotions control me though. I got over revenge trading, and I only enter a trade when the indicators all match up. How do I set myself up for success? I’m hoping to gradually increase how many contracts I use but first and foremost, I am ensuring that my entries are optimal and to maximize the number of successful trades by only listening to the indicators and not my emotions. I limit myself to 1-3 trades a day and only trade when the indicators are good. I’m really hoping I can be consistent with this on a weekly basis.

Barriss’s Betrayal was so obvious

Even before she attacked Ventress, I suspected it was Barriss who bombed the Jedi temple. After 3 years of not having any spoken lines, she suddenly shows up out of nowhere in an arc about uncovering a villain behind the Jedi temple bombing. Her acting all shifty and squirming confirmed it. Letta is quickly revealed to be working for someone else out of fear, and at this point, Ventress had already been disillusioned with the with cause and was doing her own thing in the underworld. The whole thing about the bombing being an inside job made it painfully clear. Who else was featured in the arc that could be a plausible suspect? Pretty much everyone else shows up in revenge of the sith, which means they’re out of the question.
