I didn't mind the Grand Inquistor's spinning lightsaber the first couple times I saw it, Ezra asking Kanan "Does yours do that?" was hilarious. And didn't Zeb say something similar?
but the Sabercopters was a bit much imo.

 

I hope she is a Zeltron. They are my favourite species in Star Wars, and I want more of them in canon. (They have already been introduced and her being a Zeltron would explain why the Twilek loves her and why Vader is so upset at her.)

 

I don't think she's a Zeltron, unless new canon Zeltrons have garishly long fingers (though I suppose one could argue that's just artistic license).

 

or she refuses to cut them

 

I liked this issue!

Spoiler

So the two inquisitors died. Not a big suprise here. But the make a lot of chaos during their escape and Sidious doesn't like that on "his planet".
Vader wants his own place. Palps offered him Naboo and Tatooine, but he wants Mustafar.

We see clones again! Maybe we will still see the clone/Vader "relationship" we heard about at the beginning of this series

 

No offence but every time they fly using those sabers i'm left wondering why they didn't bring a blaster rifle and see them try to dodge that!

 

Spoiler

sucks the Inquisitors die. I just fine it funny that Vader killed them becuase of their realtionship
Palpatine being mad at Vader is understandable, i mean he trash Some parts of the city

At least we still have helmate Inquisitor, I really hope we found out whose under there

Do we find out in this issue what designation the Inquisitors are? 4th brother, 3rd sister for example?

 

Spoiler

I found this issue full of great moments! I have to admit, I expected other reasons for Vader to try and kill the female Inquisitor. However the chase was pretty intense and reminiscent of Fifth and Seventh´s hunt in the Future of the Force episode. Vader and Palpatine´s interactions, as the latter´s ill intended gift, were standouts of me.

Still, this issue showed us how dangerous can the Inquisitors really be... they were a dangerous foe even for Vader. And all in all, I find it hard not to feel empathy for them. They are Force users in an anti-Force Empire, aliens in a human-centric one, and the target of jealously and resentment from every Imperial official, because of their authority. Besides, they can´t fraternize and actually, their worse enemies are the other members of the Inquisitorius! All this situation, after all, was provoked by Fifth Brother´s report to Vader. We have no way to know in what light that report portrayed the female Inquisitor´s actions, but surely it wasn´t a good one!

I would just love to see a work depicting the inner thoughts and feelings of an Inquisitor around this era. It would surely be some dark material...

 

Spoiler

I am kind of sad we didn't found out their rank

 

The Inquisitors seem to have an affinity for stolen speeder fights.

also, LMAO

Spoiler

How Star Wars could have ended:
Sheevy: Do you want Tatooine for yourself? You could burn its sands to glass
Vader: OK

 

Spoiler

I am shocked that we never found out those two Inquisitors rank in the comic

 

Spoiler

Clone trooper armor is still in use at least 1 year after ROTS! Yep, still hoping for some Vader & clone team up in this series.[/spolier]

 

Okay so, that concept art at the end.

Spoiler

The Zelton type of Inquisitor could have been Aurra Sing? Man that would have been sweet to see her original Jedi backstory reestablished, or give her a more respectful death than whatever we got in Solo.

 

Her death is unconfirmed. They can easily use her again down the line.

 

Of course, I completely refuse to believe that she went out like a punk until we see a body.

 

Spoiler

I found the two Inquisitors love story a intresting plot point. It give more character to the Inquisitors as a whole

 

Spoiler

So they were executed because the female Inquisitor chose to tease Eeth Koths wife instead of execute her.
This is just my interpretation, but I was under the impression she always intended to swipe the baby from the mothers arms at the last second.
'Steal her soul' and whatnot.

I guess she could have been lying, but the way she went about it seemed a lot crueler than just killing the women.
Karma is as Karma does I guess.

Also, I can't stop laughing at the fact that Vader dropped a speeder on a Senator. Perhaps not very nice of me, but Palpatine's reaction just made it priceless!

That the Emperor gave Vader Padme's ship was pretty awkward, wouldn't it basically be just a big middle finger to him? A reminder of his past, a reminder of his failure?

Surprised that Vader had the gall to say no to his Master, and an interesting callback to the ROTS novelization that he asks for an entire world.
He has no clue how close he came to ensuring the events of the OT don't happen.

 

Spoiler

That'd be cool. I was rather fond of Commander Appo.

 

Spoiler

As was Vader until Roan Shryne beheaded him.

 

Spoiler

I see that Vader is still as acrobatic as ever in the comics. Also very dramatic as always.
Two new inquisitors introduced last issue dies in the next. Oh well, I guess we have to see some kind of tensions between them once in the while. Vader's reaction was understandable considering his own experience. Loved Palpatine and Vader's conversation, it seems like the Emperor is afraid of dissent in the first years of his reign as emperor. I didn't expect Vader to ask to have Mustafar. Wasn't it implied in a RO related book somewhere that it was the Emperor who chose to build Vader's castle on Mustafar as some kind of test? Also confirmation that Padme's ship was a gift from the emperor, probably to mess with him as usual. I hope we also get to see his visit on Alderaan but I expect another time jump unfortunately.
