Why Lucasfilm's Dave Filoni Created The Inquisitors Close Dave Filoni introduced the idea of the Inquisitors in the first episode of Star Wars Rebels, showcasing Jason Isaacs’ Grand Inquisitor reporting directly to Darth Vader himself.
The Inquisitors Fill A Need In The Star Wars Story The way the original trilogy is presented, the audience only ever gets to see lightsaber combat on the rare occasion Vader pulls out a blade to fight Luke or another rogue Jedi. But by introducing the Inquisitors, Dave Filoni gives the audience even more lightsaber battles than before. Additionally, the Inquisitors add an element of surprise to Star Wars that Darth Vader cannot.
The Imperial Inquisitors Define The Empire's Reign Close While the Inquisitors first appeared in Star Wars animation, they’ve now shown up in Star Wars live-action, video games, novels, and comics. The Obi-Wan Kenobi series saw Rupert Friend take over Isaacs’ role as the Grand Inquisitor, while also other Inquisitors like Reva, the Fifth Brother, and the Fourth Sister. Meanwhile, the Star Wars Jedi games show Cal Kestis facing off again the Second Sister and the Ninth Sister.
