Hey YouTubers, this is Urban Acolyte TV, and my name is Prince.
Ever since we saw the Rebel’s Midseason trailer, there have been questions about the
new Inquisitor that was seen in a clip from the trailer.
Other than in the Shroud of Darkness episode, we have not seen the Inquisitors at all In
the second half of Rebels, after Ahsoka defeated both of them in the “Future of the Force”
episode.
In the most recent teaser for Rebels, we are finally introduced to the 4th Inquisitor.
They appear to be hiding among the charred remains of fallen Jedi and Sith in the Temple
on Malachor.
And so now that the new Inquisitor has finally been revealed, I’ve been receiving questions
like
Who is the 4th Inquisitor?
Could she be Bariss Offee?
Could she be Shaak Ti?
We learned during the Shroud of Darkness episode that the Grand Inquisitor had ties to the
Jedi.
He was actually a Jedi who fell to the dark side and joined the Empire.
The truth is that during the Clone Wars, it was possible that a number of Jedi were wrestling
with the dark side as they questioned their role in the war.
Of course all of this was being manipulated by Palpatine, the Dark Lord of the Sith and
Chancellor of the Republic.
I’m going to repeat the speech that Bariss Offee delivers at Ahsoka’s trial”
“I’ve come to realize what many people of the Republic have come to realize, that
the Jedi are the ones responsible for this war, that we’ve so lost our way that we
have become villains in this conflict, that we are the ones that should be put on trial,
all of us!
And my attack on the Temple was an attack on what the Jedi have become, an army fighting
for the dark side, fallen from the light that we once held so dear.
This Republic is failing.
It’s only a matter of time.”
As it turns out, the Grand Inquisitor was one of the Jedi Temple guards escorting Bariss.
It’s likely that her speech caused him to question what and who he was serving.
Could the Jedi Order have fallen from the light?
When Dash presented his video about the Grand Inquisitor having been a Temple Guard, he
asked why the Temple Guards were not present during Order 66 because they were under orders
from Palpatine.
In a past video, I also asked if there were factions within the Jedi Order who may have
had ties to Palpatine.
The truth may not be as clear—because it may lie somewhere in between.
Perhaps there were a growing number of Jedi who became disillusioned with the Jedi Order,
and there were also Jedi being manipulated by Palpatine.
Master Pong Krell is an example of one who was manipulated.
Palpatine gave him just enough of a leash so that he would eventually hang himself,
and he did.
Dave Filoni took up this question about Jedi defecting in an interview from 2014.
In it, he says that there were Jedi who survived Order 66.
Jedi Master Luminara Unduli’s corpse was used to lure Kanan into the hands of he Empire.
In that episode Kanan was shown a hologram of her actual execution just before he has
his first encounter with the Grand Inquisitor.
Some Jedi were captured and executed like Master Luminara Unduli, but others, who could
be of service to the Empire swore their allegiance to the dark side and became tools of the Sith.
Pablo Hidalgo teased that the Inquisitors belong to an actual organization, the Inquisitorious.
When they become an Inquisitor, the appear to lose their previous identity and they become
part of a heirarchy.
Think about the names—Grand Inquisitor, 5th Brother, 7th Sister.
So who would this new Inquisitor be?
Are they the 8th Sister, or the 6th Brother?
How many Inquisitors are there?
Well— just from what I’ve gathered from the scenes we’ve seen, I believe this new
Inquisitor is female.
I have no idea what her species may be.
She appears to be some kind of alien similar to Yoda’s species, but taller.
She also appears to be much more agile than the 7th Sister, and my guess is that probably
outranks the two Inquisitors that have been hunting the Rebels in Season 2 thus far.
In all honesty, unless the Inquisitors already knew that Ahsoka, Ezra, and Kanan were heading
to Malachor, I believe this new Inquisitor has been waiting on Malachor for someone or
something else.
It’s possible that she’s actually either hunting for Maul or guarding the Temple from
another powerful force user for reasons we do not know at this time.
So back to the question about who I think the 4th Inquisitor is?
Well, just looking at her helmet, it reminds me of Starkiller’s helmet if you go dark
side for the Ultimate Sith Edition.
This was actually pointed out by Venuxx on a video he did back in February.
In all honesty, when I first looked at her helmet, I thought of the Shredder from Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles, but the next thing I thought was actually the Grand Inquisitor’s
flight helmet.
Maybe I’m looking too much into things, but it makes sense to me that the top Inquisitor
gets the coolest helmet.
I mean, the 5th Brother would look pretty cool if he looked like the Sith concept he’s
based on—but he doesn’t, because then he might look even cooler than the Sith Lords
he serves.
So yeah— I think the new Inquisitor is the new Grand Inquisitor, or she at least outranks
the two we’ve already seen.
As for her identity?
If I’m going to make her a fallen Jedi, I would say that she’s someone’s padawan,
and she witnessed the duel between Anakin and Bariss.
I think she would have questions about why they are fighting.
So when Order 66 goes down and she survives—maybe she’s at the Temple when Anakin and the
501st are wrecking shop—she is eventually captured and it’s not so much swearing loyalty
to the dark side, but swearing loyalty to the man who she senses through the Force is
Anakin Skywalker.
That’s what I think, at least.
How about you?
What do you think about this new Inquisitor?
Do you have a guess about her identity?
Let me know your thoughts down in the comment section below.
Last season’s finale had the death of the Grand Inquisitor and it introduced Ahsoka
to the series.
If this episode follows the same formula, we’re going to see someone die along with
an introduction—and I don’t think it will stop at Maul since he’s already been teased
and confirmed.
Either way— I’m looking forward to the Rebels finale— it’s going to be pretty
epic.

I do videos on Star Wars Rebels, along with a Rebels Rundown series where I look at my
Top 10 moments from every episode.
I’m just starting that, but I plan to complete all of Season 1 and 2 by the time Summer gets
here.
If you want to stay up on those videos, the best way is to subscribe down below.
If you haven’t already seen both of my videos on Darth Maul in the season finale, you can
check out the most recent one up top or the one from a few weeks back down below it.
Both of those will be up in the cards section.
I’m also trying to get out another video before the Rebels finale airs Wednesday night,
but that’s all I’ve got for now, thank you for watching.
Y’all keep on breathing, and May the Force Be With You.
