How is their status as former Imperial or Separatists handled legally? Kallus committed war crimes on Lasats. Is he forgiven for genocide because he joined the Rebellion? Barriss Offee committed acts of terrorism, became an Inquisitor, and then abandoned the Empire to become a healer. Is she forgiven? Crosshair enacted brutal attacks on behalf of the Empire and deserted after seeing Imperial cruelty to his fellow clones. Is Crosshair forgiven for those he killed?
