... Who bombed the Jedi Temple for the same reason Bariss did. A reason we invalidated.
The danger regarding dissent among the Jedi I'd be concerned would be Knights thinking that the Order aren't doing enough, although thankfully I don't think there's any Jedi alive who could pull a Revan and sweep an entire generation of Knights and Masters into going to war, there's simply no Jedi with the charisma for it as far as I'm aware.
I don't think we have much to worry about regarding the Jedi doing something rash, at least until Sidious is revealed.

i think the only jedi/sith that had the charisma for it after revan was luke.
dude became the biggest of badass's
... Huh. Never seen a triple "Ninja'd" before.
So yes, clearly, the immediate impetus for the canon bombing is no longer present. OTOH, Barriss Offee wasn't exactly thinking clearly -- something was clearly rotten in the state of Denmark given how she explained herself -- so she might be motivated to do something similar for a similar reason. Perhaps she's still worried about Jedi militarism, even if fewer Jedi are generals here than in canon. Or she might be worried that the Jedi Order has aligned itself totally with the corruption of the Senate -- Offee's home system is pretty far out in the Outer Rim, so her stated concern over 'militarism' might be cover for believing that the Separatist cause is actually right, that the Outer Rim has a right to self-government, and that the war itself is unjust.
Totally hypothetical, but it depends on how Dr. Snark choses to apply canon.
Even if it's not Barriss Offee, it might be someone else -- Palpatine was pulling many strings and causing a good deal of chaos and confusion within the Jedi Order, so if there's another Jedi who might pull off a similar stunt, he'd probably find out who and play them like a fiddle.
I mean, we are talking about a Sith Lord who specializes in manipulating Jedi on a grand scale....

Well then we've got a bombing to plan. I'm sure someone like Ciaran can find some morally repugnant sapients to 'tragically' be caught in the blast.

As for Barriss, here's an excerpt from the plot summary of Star Wars: A New Droid Army, which the good doctor has confirmed will be integrated in some capacity.
She's the type of person who'd bomb the temple because she disagrees with what the Jedi are doing. And we've had plenty of discussion about how the Jedi aren't super great. We drop some hints about how the Jedi are super overhyped, and boom. Events set in motion.
Now I suggested it because cortosis battle droid hit all the right spots for me, but she's canonically there, fighting the good fight and getting her ass handed to her. So we might have a chance to influence her.

I would recommend steering her away from the Jedi in a fashion that doesn't involve terrorism and murder. Like, just leaving. Or we could always kidnap her so we can monologue at her.
... For a criminal mastermind there's been a distinct lack of taking captives we can evil-, I mean, morally grey-ly monologue at. At some point in this quest someone better spend the night locked in our hovercars' trunk. What kind of crime boss are we if that never happens? It's practically required.
Behold what happens when I let my thoughts run wild. I know it's not tidy and I'm probably missing some things, but right now I'm too lazy to do anything. Enjoy:

The successful kind. You may notice that such things are always* followed by your plans failing spectacularly.
Ozymandias is a statistical outlier and can therefore be safely ignored.

I was guessing Jango myself.
This. So much this. I regret that I have but one like to give. This needs to be a recurring thing like the Vault.
For Third Horseman we need someone to represent either Famine or Tyranny.

Tyranny has to be Dooku. His Sith Lord name is fucking Darth Tyrannus. It was meant to be.
I'd like all the Horsemen to be on our team... then we can have them ride speeder bikes into battle.

HK-47 can count, since ever since he popped up in this thread the thirst has been real.
... I'm pretty sure that's how you use that phrase.

I once more submit Jango as the Third Horseman. Even if he isn't doing it that way, the title of Mand'alor is that of a Tyrant in the old sense ("an authoritarian sovereign without reference to character" according to Wikipedia).
