Re: Order 66 & Bariss Offee
Possibly they're named by the marketing people or toymakers, then? Seems unlikely that George does all of that hiimself.

Re: Order 66 & Bariss Offee
I doubt it. There may be exceptions, but I’m pretty sure that Lucas and the concept artists come up with most of the names.

And no specific source, just my sense based on reading a variety of making-of books. J.W. Rinzler’s books are excellent resources, and the “Art of” books cover a lot of ground as well.
On names in particular, Rinzler's book on Star Wars quotes the second draft script, from Jan. 1975, which includes names like Bendu and Utapau, which didn't make it into the original trilogy but were recycled in later movies and series decades later. So I wouldn't be surprised if Lucas had come up with Barriss Offee's name at some point early on, and re-used it when working on AOTC.

Re: Order 66 & Bariss Offee
It's not particularly aimed at you, just a reflex now because the SW fandom does it so often that whenever someone says 'X is responsible for this part of SW' I want to see receipts.

Re: Order 66 & Bariss Offee
Agree 100% with both statements here.
And we'll after the Star Wars Holiday Special.
I'd be shocked and depressed if someone with a marketing degree was involved with naming Elan Sleazebaggano.
Totally fair. If it makes you feel any better, Disney has replaced Lucas upon that throne.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

My instinct tells me that Lucas probably wrote the name into the script for AOTC, but can’t say for certain. It’s just a feeling, like the Force.

Re: Order 66 & Bariss Offee
When dealing with the Empire, there's willing and then there's "willing." Fallen Order showed that fairly quickly after Episode 3, the Empire could and would torture lightsiders into compliance. Sure, it doesn't work 100%, but then again, this is the same Empire that tried "build a giant planet-destroying battle station" twice (three times if you count Starkiller Base).
Also, most of the inquisitors have designations to the effect of "Number" "Sibling Relation" (Second Sister, Ninth Sister, Sixth Brother, etc), but as far as I know, "First Sister" is conspicuously absent. It'd make sense for Barris to fill this role (since work on her could've started before the Clone Wars even ended).

I mean, a writer could make it work if they wanted to, but it would be more 'hammer a square peg into a round hole' than anything that makes sense naturally in itself.
