He was brought in to give the Rebels crew a credible antagonist during season 1. And the fact that he wasn't used much is what made him threatening. That way every time he did show up s*** went down and he was never actually defeated until this episode. That's what made him such a better villain then guys like Kallus.
He still battled with the characters four time (five if we count the dream sequence). That's plenty as far as I'm concerned. Like I've said before far better he die then become a joke of a villain like Ventress or Grievous.
Eh, fair enough, but that definitely wasn't my interpretation. I assumed that Vader had many inquisitor's spread throughout the galaxy. The fact that the Inquisitor was dealing with a Padawn on some back-water planet made it seem like he wasn't much of a big-shot.
I understood the scene, but I think it could have been done better. Him letting go happened so quickly and so casually that his fear of Vader was not conveyed well. Also the tone of his voice was roughly the same as it always is. It would have been better if he sounded more frightened and if the reference to Vader was slightly more explicit (but not too much more).
The inquisitor's entire death scene, after his final lines, lasts for roughly 10 seconds. Then it immediately goes to Kanon thinking about Ezra. Compare that to the death scene of a (IMO) much more minor character, Satine.
Of course Satine's death is going to have a larger impact, she was a lover of Kenobi. The Inquisitor by contrast was just a villain. Most villains death's have little impact. Just look at Dooku, or Mail,or Grievous, or Tarkin, etc....
I've found the GE Inquisitors a bunch that are overlooked by many(along with a few other Force Sensitive groups in the GE), they aren't the most powerful sure. But some of em have been rather interesting and it's nice to see more than just Jedi and Sith about.
Strongly disagree with Satine being minor compared to the Inquisitor. Satine is far more of a major character than any Arc Villain.
Nah, Dooku and Grievous had massive implications. Especially Grievous considering his death was the casus belli for the Great Jedi Purge. But that's to be expected because Dooku was the Head of State of a galactic scale independent state and Grievous is the Supreme Commander of the largest droid army in history.

Certainly. However, by "impact" I'm using it in the same way red8 was. Basically, the plot hardly stops and takes time to acknowledge these characters' deaths.
Intriguing. I'd still put TCW's high marks well ahead of anything Rebels has shown us, but Rebels is much more consistent than the show that brought us such stellar stories as "Evil Plans" and Rotta the Hutt.
{This finale, while good, doesn't come close to touching "The Lawless" imo.}
