I've been thinking it over, and I think Kanan's trial against the Grand Inquisitor as a Temple Guard is a revelation that he somehow survived, and is going to join them on the light side.
I actually prefer that they killed him. Villains tend to have diminishing returns in these shows. It showed great triumph on Kanan's part, defeating the Inquisitor, and would've been silly to have the strongest Inquisitor continue to ineffectually chase them around.
Great character, though. I enjoyed him as a villain.
Kind of strange to send your Grand Inquisitor before the lesser Inquisitor's, though. Or even sending them all together.. If this rebellion is important enough to send your top thug, and even get Vader personally involved, they're important enough to crush with overwhelming force..

He looked like he was a capable swordsman too but getting beaten by season 1 Kanan? no. He impresses me much more than the other Inquisitors that's for sure.

I hope it's safe to assume he was not a bona fide Force Ghost.
The previous cartoon by the same showrunner devoted a significant amount of time to the Force Ghost thing, enough to create the impression that they weren't intending to go back to the "everyone gets to be a Force Ghost" paradigm of the early EU.
