The Imperial Inquisitorious

I think the new Inquisitor will be the most powerful / skilled, tbh.

Do you think he could be the new Grand Inquisitor?

Or will we see one? Guys gotta be replaced at some point right?

I'm betting on this too. There still isn't a new Grand Inquisitor, but Filoni hinted at an Inquisitor stronger than the Grand. At first I thought it was the Sister, but this guy gives off this vibe like he's Vader's right arm of sorts. He looks very Starkiller-esque.

Could very well be the case. For the longest time I though the Seventh Sister was going to eventually be promoted to Grand Inquisitor, but that clearly doesn't seem to be what's up anymore. I feel like the new guy's whole purpose is to even out the Inquisitor team because of Ahsoka (which is really stupid, no Inquisitor should be Ahsoka-tier) and we've seen him KO Kanan (or at least that seemed to be what happened) so I think it's a fair assumption that the new Inquisitor will be legit.

I really hope the Fifth Brother dies, though. Like, really hope.

Yeah, I definitely see him being a right-hand man type of character to Vader. I hope he's badass but I don't want the power hierarchy in Rebels to become TCW-esque, with characters who should be solidly inferior challenging higher-tiers, and similarly stupid stuff.

Is there some issue where Inquisitors can't be in the high tiers? I mean I get they can't be too powerful for Palpatine's liking, but that doesn't really mean much because...what would be considered too powerful in his terms?

I mean if Legends is anything to go off of, you had Palpatine employ powerful underlings in the GE, yet the only thing he really did was either restrict their knowledge resources or move them around.

Granted I'm not saying make every Inquisitor match for high tiers or anything, but saying none of them can?...Not sure.

If anything, SW needs to show the Inquisitors actually...ya know accomplishing what their station deems them as, because Rebels certainly isn't doing that at all.

Filoni stated that the most powerful Inquisitor is sub-Ventress tier. So I don't think their is any danger of him rivalling Ahsoka.

After all presumably the reason why Vader is here in person is because only he can deal with Ahsoka himself.

I'd say the presence of a 3rd Inquisitor only indicates Kanan and Ezra's growing strength.

Also possible, but then that just makes the Inquisitors even less of a credible threat. 3 Inquisitors to go after a new Knight and his Padawan? Granted they are good, but then that begs the question of how the Inquisitors deal with other Knights. Or even if they have at all.

Also ehh...I'm taking his words in a loose fashion right now.

Vader is supposed to be >> any Inquisitor, so if Ahsoka is giving Vader a run for his money, even the best Inquisitor should be very solidly below her, I think.

👆

Ok right, but that doesn't mean the Inquisitors have to suck. Just because Vader is >>> to them and Ahsoka is gonna fight him, doesn't mean that the Inquisitors(the best) can't also be in a high tier placement, just not in that high tier placement.

I'm not saying they should suck; I'm saying they should remain clear inferiors to Vader, Ahsoka and Maul.

Which is fine.

Too powerful = strong enough that Vader could take them on as an apprentice and turn them into a real threat if they fought alongside Vader.

He wants them weak enough that not only are they not a threat now, they aren't worth Vader's time to try and mold against him into real threat.

Savage was no threat. Savage trained by Maul could potentially become a threat, so therefore the two of them had to be crushed. That seems to be the line.

Yet Savage was still plenty powerful even before being trained by Maul.

Not saying all of them have to be too strong enough for Vader, but Vader doesn't really have a cap either. They could be as powerful, yet Vader still can eclipse them.

Of above average/exceptional skill tbh. Lets be real the Inquistors should be more than capable of defeating any one fodder Jedi.

Which has yet to be really proven, the GI was the only one actually defeating Kanan and yet he's dead so....frankly we need more material on these guys actually doing their jobs, otherwise defeating them isn't as impressive as it's being made out to be.

Kanan > Fodder Jedi

7th Sister is contending with Kanan

7th Sister > Fodder Jedi

And so on.

2 doesn't make the organization as a whole credible Beni. I'm speaking of as a whole here, not just 1 or 2 singular characters.

If Maul was actually referring to the new Inquisitor in that clip, I think all that hype behind him points to him contending with Ahsoka.

Pretty lame. Less lame if he actually is confirmed to be the best Inquisitor, but still sort of lame.

So he may be Ventress ~ Plo Koon level, I guess?

Slightly below Ventress as she was portrayed earlier in the series, probably.
