Full Series Mini Series The Inquisitors (Spoilers)

Well, its important to note that Jedi records are open access to the Imperials since they captured the temple. And studying them, does not mean one needs to be Jedi or former. Besides you had Vader and Sidious - the latter which had his own design with children of the Force back in TCW so for all we know sensory deprivation and brainwashing technique halo programs and droids maybe like Proxy could've been implemented to indoctrinate and train dark jedi . We don't know quite how Sidious planned on training them, but its not likely they would've been trained like a Sith Apprentice, hands on, full time ect. Yoda and Kenobi never appeared to have some overide contingency command in place to wipe out the archives, if such a thing was possible, so to the victor goes the spoils.

 

The only thing we know about Inquisitor training is Vader and Sidious do not share Sith teachings with them. I recall Pablo suggesting Inquisitors are made strong, but kept weak - to ensure no rivals emerged. Grand Inquisitor from season one was on par with a Jedi Knight, according to Dave.

Wasn't it said, I could be wrong, but the Jedi Temple became the headquarters for Inquisitorius? If so, I'm guessing the Imperials kept all those training robots and put them to use.

 

Sorry if this has been mentioned already but can anyone remember if we ever saw the bronzium statues of the Lost 20 in TCW? I just watched the episodes that involved the Jedi Archives but no luck.

 

They never appear in TCW.

Also we know for a fact that GI was not apart of the children of the force seeing as he was born 20 something years before the clone wars began.

And also if he actually appeared in TCW it was with in Crystal crisis or as a masked person.

His age in Rebels Visual Guide is "mid-forties" (human equivalent). For some reason, Wookieepedia doesn't take into account the possibility that "human-equivalent" is biological - that, for example, a 200 year old Chewie could possibly be "mid-30s (human equivalent)" or some such. Instead they interpret it as being "a way of saying standard years."

 

Yes your right, but my point is still the same.

Which is that he was not the children of the force palpatine was talking about, heck the GI could be older then Sheev.

 

If they keep the "Pau'an are extremely long-lived" idea from Legends, that would work.

 

My question is why are we getting information about the Grand Inquisitor after his death? I don't know what's the point, it would have been better to keep him alive so he could have more depth.

 

Not enough time and how do you think they got bester animation.

 

Let's see,

I loved the grand inquisitor title in the so called "Inquisitorius" which apparently the inquisitors are in. (Fancy name)

So, how many inquisitors do you think there are? I think theres like 50 of them?

 

Thats a lot and I would put it near 12 because most things have twelve.

 

Inquisitorius in the EU was a huge organisation, that was apart of the Imperial Intelligence branch. From everything I've seen in Rebels, the EU description is pretty much canon now. Only difference is the Grand Inquisitor; some were more powerful than a mere Jedi Knight in the EU. A padawan, like Kanan, would've been no match. Especially for Torbin.

There Force powers, especially foresight, was almost equivalent to your average Jedi Master.

 

Honestly I don't think there are many inquisitors, twenty at best so Vader and the emperor do not fear they will overthrow them.

 

I would guess there would be one for a certain area of the galaxy and TGI friday was in charge of them all and Vader him.

 

This.

I still think we might see the Emperor's Hand and a secret apprentice for Vader. If the latter happens, I'm guessing that's where the Knights of Ren come from. It makes sense for Sidious and Vader to both have secret agents to manipulate local political and economic decisions.

 

I think it is really cool that they are have individuality within the uniformity of the Empire's standard issue equipment, for example, the spinning double bladed lightsabers. At first, I thought the spinning ring was a gimmick that was ridiculous; however now, I almost feel the fact they are multifunctional (crescent; one blade), dual blade and then spinning dual blade is cool. I love how both GI, SS and FB have individualised the hilts too. These multiple functions almost compensate for a practiced skill.

Really like the design of the SS.

I think there are around 12 inquisitors and that they are rivals but collaborate to achieve their goals but ultimately want to bring the bacon home to Sheev personally, for a combination of devotion and political/ professional advancement.

 

I wouldn't mind Vader having an apprentice pre-OT....as long as....

1. The apprentice is not a secret to Palpatine

2. Vader nor Palpatine have plans on making said apprentice a Sith (similar to how Dooku viewed Ventress).

3. The apprentice should be more powerful then an Inquisitor, but not over powered, no Galen marek power levels please.

4. Apprentice has no plans on becoming a Sith Lord/apprentice (helps to distinguish him/her from a Sith)

4. Apprentice should die before the OT era.

 

Aren't the inquisitors some kind of apprentices to Vader, he was training them personally. It would be redundant for him to train an apprentice who basically have the same fonction as them, don't you think so?

 

No. An Apprentice would be someone Vader takes a keen interest in, not some disposable tool.

 

Ok but you really think the emperor would just let him have an apprentice right under his nose ? unless they want to have another Dooku and Assaj situation it would make better sense if he doesn't know about it.

 

It's not like Palpatine who stays on Coruscant all the time could keep up with Vader's schemes. That much is shown in the Vader comics.

Palpatine controls Vader by being a father figure to him and evoking feelings of loyalty. So yes, it is a possibility at least.

 

An assassin, maybe. But no apprentice; Sidious was a strong believer in the Rule of Two.

 

Not in the old EU, he wasn't. He dropped the ROT after he no longer needed it. Palpatine is a pragmatic and not a religious person. Even in Empire the Sith don't act as if the ROT applies because someone like Luke isn't cut out to be just an Inquisitor.

In the Bane books, the ROT is described as an instrument to achieve victory over the Jedi. This end was reached by ROTS.

We'll see if Luceno is allowed to re-canonize what he wrote in the Darth Plagueis novel. I certainly hope so because the ROT never made much sense on a logical level.

Edit: The Inquisitors could also be seen as a violation of the rule of two. At least Bane, as fanatic as he is, would never ever approved.

 

Actually he wanted to replace Vader with Luke for the same reason he wanted to replace Dooku with Anakin, it seems to be consistent with the ROT.

 

Watch TESB again. How much sense does it make that Palpatine and Vader openly say they plan to replace the other? None whatsoever. Because the ROT didn't exist back then.

"Master, please allow me to turn Luke Skywalker to the dark side so that we can both murder you together to fulfil the rule of two."

- see, not much sense it makes

Palps didn't want to replace Vader in the first place, he even tells Vader to kill Luke, only after Vader becomes traitorous and weak in the darkside he changes his mind.
