Info on the Inquisitor's numerical designations...

From a Rebels press conference in October 2015 with Dave Filoni, Ashley Eckstein, Vanessa Marshall, Freddie Prinze, Jr., and Dee Bradley Baker:

"Since we know that Sarah Michelle Gellar is playing the Seventh Sister, a fan asked if there were six sisters prior to her. “I would say that that’s a logical conclusion. That’s an entirely logical thing to assume, that she’s the seventh–the latest version–so we’ll have to see what that means.”

Seems to imply that there numbers refer to when they joined the organisation rather than rank within the organisation. And that there may only be one Sister and one Brother at any given time. These being the latest. Thoughts?

EDIT: Broken link, here's a working one:

The actor's aren't really that reliable when it comes to stuff like that though. Sara in particular loves Seventh Sister and is unlikely to say that she's ranked Seventh or something.

Well as far as I can tell Sarah wasn't actually at the conference, however the article doesn't clarify who replied. It was probably Dave though.

I'd be surprised if there were only one Brother and Sister at any given time, honestly.

It does make sense for them to be more, but at the same time I don't see them introducing six more sisters, and five more brothers, each with there own design, voice actor etc. but maybe we will get one or two more...

I agree that there's, like, no way in hell they'd introduce 10 more Inquisitors, but they don't really have to. Filoni did say we'd be getting more insight on the late Grand Inquisitor's background and how the Inquisitorious works this season.

They couldn't be from Dathomir.. Assuming Courtship of Princess Leia is still canon, they don't have force sensitive males.

But an entire planet of force sensitive, rancor riding warrior would be my first choice for Inquisitor's, so maybe Dathomir exists, but not like Courtship wrote it.. (And besides, Courtship happens post Empire..)

Palpatine's line to Vader in SOL about sending more Inquisitors after the Rebels suggests there are more than 2 to me.

Anyone else think the Seventh Sister will become the new Grand Inquisitor by the end of this season?

I assume you've never watched The Clone Wars...Well 2 is "more", however there is also Ahsoka's line that "they'll all be coming now", and yet only two turn up, so perhaps that's all there is. Guess we'll find out.

I've seen it.

Witches of Dathomir and "Night Sisters" are two different things, though related. Basically, what we had in Clone Wars was hybrids from human Dathomirans mating with those horned things.

But Dathomir itself is a prison planet, where a dark jedi of the Old Republic was banished, and an entire civilization sprung from it based around a matriarchy of force sensitive witches who tamed Rancors as mounts..

And even though Ventriss's tribe was wiped out by Grevious, there's still a planet of force sensitives out there. Unless Courtship of Princess Leia was never canon from the start, and they reimagined Dathomir..

Well that would make more sense if Palpatine said something like "send the remaining Inquisitiors after them."

Also doubt the "Grand" Inq was given that title for commanding 2 other Inq's. And don't see why the remaining 2 would be so eager to grab that title.

Just wouldn't make much sense to me personally.

Mmm, fair point. That said, there maybe some non-combatant Inquisitors working for the organisation.

I feel like the Fifth Brother is more likely to bite the dust than her, and I doubt they'd kill them both off. But who knows at this point.

Indeed, Dathomir's only canonical appearance now was its portrayal in the Clone Wars. Courtship and any Expanded Universe portrayals are no longer canon under Disney.
