He didn't really appear much, but still, they created this brand new character to serve as an antagonist to the Ghost crew...only to kill him off?
Why?....To have a new character in the EU perhaps, instead of bringing ones that are already established?
I don't mind that he was killed, but it was too soon I feel and he didn't appear much in Season 1 which just makes him wasted imo.
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.

I disagree on that point. The Inquisitor didn't even fear Grand Moff Tarkin, the third most powerful man in the Empire. It seemed like he was just below people like him and Vader since he was a Force User trained specifically to kill Jedi.
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.
He failed in his duties several times and seemed to be more apologizing out of responsibility than genuine fear of Tarkin. However once he lost to Kanan, and realized just how badly he failed this time. He knew it wouldn't be Tarkin who punished him. It would be Vader.And he was so f*cking scared to face him that he chose to die rather than face the consequences. That says a lot, especially since the Inquisitor seemed pompous, smug, and arrogant the entire season. The only time you ever saw fear in his eyes was when Kanan surprised him with his assault, and when he threw his life away so he wouldn't have to face Vader.
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.

I dunno...it just seems like, yeah he showed up, but the Ghost crew never lost anything, they always got away up until Kanan got captured.
/Shrug
I just feel like he could have been explored a tad more is all.

We know there are more inquisitors, at least. I wonder if we'll actually see them in season 2, though.
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.

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....
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.

Very good episode. The Fulcrum reveal rubbed me the wrong way, but otherwise it was excellent. And amazing lightsaber duel, some great space action, and of course Vader! This is Star Wars done right. Just pure good fun. And heck, even the reveal was ok. Ahsoka's design at least is cool.As for the Inquisitor dying I'm fine with that. He was a great villain but ultimately served his purpose and was defeated. There really isn't much left to do with his character other than to become a joke who is routinely defeated similar to what happened to Ventress and Grievous. Plus his death was chilling showing how truly terrible a master Vader is, "far more frightening then death" indeed.
Rebels has been great so far, a vast improvement on TCW. Can't wait for season 2. I'm expecting it will be ESB to season 1's ANH. Basically, with Vader around s*** is going to hit the fan.
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.}
