I'm pretty curious where everyone ranks the Grand Inquisitor from Rebels. I've heard some people online and irl treat him like he couldn't defeat a barely trained youngling, and others talk as though he could defeat the likes of Maul. From what I know of the character, he's got some solid feats, but I'm really not sure where to place him. With that said, who do you think the most powerful character is that he could defeat?
He held his own for a time against Darth Vader, though Sidious pointed out that Vader was never in any real danger of losing.
He's rather easily defeated Jocasta Nu, a former Jedi Council member (Ahsoka seems to rate Jocasta Nu's abilities highly, though Sidious calls her "barely competent with a lightsaber," and "middling in the Force." I'd say the truth is somewhere between the two.)
He's also ranked above Prosset Dibs in the Inquisitorius, a former Jedi Master who is described by Mace as being "as strong with the Force as any Jedi [Mace has] ever known." Prosset Dibs was hand-picked to accompany the likes of Mace Windu and Kit Fisto on an extremely dangerous mission, and has also held his own for a time against Mace Windu during the Clone Wars, before becoming an Inquisitor.
Lastly, he has repeatedly tooled Season 1 Kanan and Ezra with seemingly no difficulty, ragdolling them both with the Force consistently and only ever struggling against Kanan in an extremely circumstantial encounter.
We've also been told by the makers of Rebels that the Grand Inquisitor wouldn't be able to defeat the likes of Obi-Wan, so it's clear he's not going to be contending with the absolute top-tier Jedi or Sith out there.
So, with all that said, which character do you think is the toughest foe the Grand Inquisitor could reasonably be expected to beat in a duel?
Canon Nu wasn’t a council member. Her saber skills were considered average, but she shined thanks to her limitless knowledge. That being said, I’d say he stops at 4
The Clone Wars, Holocron Heist:
Jocasta Nu: "Beyond this door lies the holocron vault. The holocrons contain the most closely guarded secrets of the Jedi Order."
Ahsoka: "Can we go inside?"
Jocasta Nu: "Oh, I'm afraid not, my dear. I haven't been inside myself for years. Only members of the Jedi Council are allowed access."
While she doesn't outright say that she was a former Jedi Council member, Jocasta Nu does state that only Council members can enter the holocron vault, and she herself had been inside, years ago. The implication being that years ago, Jocasta Nu sat on the Council. So yes, in both Canon and Legends, Jocasta Nu is a former Jedi Council member.
I wouldn't really give him the above over Dibs just because he's higher ranked than him. A King is higher than a Knight, but that doesn't mean the King is better at swordplay than the Knight.
Inquisitors don't fall under as Sith. More to that, what evidence even is there of the GI being better? I mean there isn't much saying he isn't either, but if we're gonna be pulling double standards and assuming things now, then we best start doing it for others as well and not just picking and choosing.
I just don't think we should really assume the GI is above Dibs without some actual evidence rather than "oh because he's higher!" I mean, can you see the problem with that? Is that how it's gonna be from now on?
I mean I can maybe see the GI being higher than Dibs after the latter went over to the dark side, but not before.
I've just seen some debates, where X quote/source is fine for one character, but when it comes to another with a similar, it's just dismissed because reasons. I can't really recall off the top of my head, but it has happened here and there.
Been a long while, but I thought I'd revisit this one. We've had quite a bit of new Inquisitor content over the years. We can now definitely say the Grand Inquisitor was above Barriss, thanks to what we saw in Tales of the Empire. And the Grand Inquisitor killing five Jedi Elders during his hunt for Tensu Run is pretty impressive in my eyes.
We also had the Fifth Brother nearly beating Cal and Cere at the same time in Jedi: Battle Scars, and we know the Grand Inquisitor scales above the Fifth Brother. Then there was the Inquisitor who beat Asajj Ventress, so the Grand Inquisitor might scale above post-RotS Ventress as well (though it's highly likely she atrophied some from her time in Dark Disciple).
Looking back on my original list, I wouldn't be surprised if the Grand Inquisitor could make it as far as Adi Gallia, but I don't see him beating Eeth Koth, who was able to give 14BBY Vader a good fight.
Ok, he was better than Barriss but she had spent 1 year in prison so she was out of shape and when she used the force he was at her mercy. He also didn’t do that well against Tensu Run despite being 3v1. Not only was Tensu able to block all his attacks, he also slashed him, albeit it was only a superficial cut. Anyway, only Vader’s intervention stopped the fight. This is the same Tensu who was wounded by the 5th Bro a couple of issues before that. I’d say he may beat Aayla Secura and maybe Luminara Unduli (although it should be noted Kanan thought having Luminara help them could be crucial in defeating the GI, implying she may be stronger than him or on his level). Any council member beats him
