Ahsoka Tano vs The Inquisitor | Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi

[@Rezolak]

From 0 to 10, how would you rate the new (and already dead) Inquisitor?

[@Revan498]

10 for character design, 5/10 for ability (being useless against anyone beyond force-sensitive kids seems to be standard for all inquisitors)

The New Inquisitor was a 6/10. He's sounds creepy since he's played Savage Opress VA, Clancy Brown. I believe the Inquisitor's name is the Sixth Brother, the dude who got schooled and lost his arm to Vader in the comics

[@Nimasti]

9/10 for me. It's very good to finaly see an inquisitor which is creepy , intimdating ... scary and powerful. Yes he die quickly but he fight Ahsoka ... For me it's not a bad death. Awesome episode. The voice and the music was also perfect.

They’re all bark and no bite really. Not to diminish Ahsoka’s obvious badassery; they were simply made to hunt padawans and weaker knights that Vader couldn’t be bothered with. When an Inquisitor dies maybe then he’d come to hunt down whatever Jedi killed them. They are pretty much the equivalent of a medium-sized hunting dog; they kill smaller prey and lead their master towards bigger, more dangerous prey. If they die off, meh, he’s got replacements.

If they succeed then that is one less Jedi in the Galaxy, if they fail then that is still one less Jedi in the galaxy and one slot which could be filled by another Jedi survivor. Essentially palpatine turned the Jedi survivors against each other, while he and Vader rule the galaxy.

[@geordiejones5618]

​@@TulpechaidoplaysMC realistically i could see the Empire lasting past Vader's lifetime, even if it's extended because Palpatine is just that much stronger, but eventually the march of dominance always ends, either due to systemic rot, economic stagnation or just the new hotness rising up where you leasy expect. Palpatine cant just stop force users from.being born but he can make it damn near impossible for them to train. I guess I like an alternate version of the original trilogy where Vader is long gone, Palpatine is still clinging to life but he's at the end and he knows that if his latest apprentice isnt ready, they'll lose everything because I cant imaginethe Jedi and especially Yoda would not form some kind of limited contingency plan.

[@tengentoppagurrenlmao5907]

​​@@geordiejones5618 Yes! Your theory is actually tied to one of the main foundation of the entire Star Wars Universe : "The Force always try to balance the galaxy." The Force is a supernatural phenomenon that don't favoritize either the dark side or light side. It's only natural that both sides will be simultaneously rise and fall. At first, the Galaxy ruled by Jedi, but they later became corrupt, leading the Sith to come back in the form of Palpatine, after that the Galaxy ruled by the Dark Side, but the Dark Side progress too fast it broke the balance, leading to the return of the Jedi in the form of the Skywalkers, but then, the Light Side also progress too fast on purging the Dark Side, leading to another intervention such as Yuuzhan Vong. IF Luke never born, then it is most likely ends up like your scenario. A world without Jedi and Sith, only the force sensitive people who can't really step that far away in either sides.

Saying Vader "trained" the Inquisitors is being generous.

That, along with being a Togruta, and the many experiences in her life (rescuing other padawans, and a Wookie).... unlike many other Jedi, she now refuses to be taken by surprise, in any situation.

Ahsoka is a Jedi Knight and Master in deeds and experience, if not in the title. She has been trained since almost before she could walk. She was brought in as a youngling by Jedi Master Plo Koon and assigned by Grand Master Yoda as a Padawan learner to Anakin Skywalker. Her training and experience were forged during the Clone Wars, and she fought in its most significant battles. In addition to being taught and mentored by the greatest Knights and Masters of the Jedi, she was a Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic and served with Clone Captain Rex of the 501st Legion. She fought in, out, and behind enemy lines throughout the war. By the time of her match with this puny Inquisitor, she had already fought in the Siege of Mandalore against Darth Maul, who uses a double-bladed lightsaber. She is one of the last surviving Jedi Knights at this time. She could have force-choked him out and crushed him instantly if she wanted. It was not a contest, nor should it have been.

Anakin must have been so proud, even while the most Vader felt was a grudging respect. The one thing I would say is that we know many Inquisitors were corrupted Jedi who Fell after torture by the Sith Empire. We'll never know this Inquisitors history, but he could easily have been one of them. Although, given the way she dodged his strikes, shut down his lightsabre and then killed him with his own weapon? He'd never completed basic training, so who knows. Also, you can tell this is very soon after the Empire rose to power because the young man turned Ahsoka in for a reward-and even the father knew what a fool the boy had been. The whole farm is ruined and ablaze, the two of them have been tied up and are clearly about to be butchered and the Inquisitor is a madman, at best, yet when Ahsoka actually arrives?

Ahsoka wasnt a Jedi master However... she was very strong with the force. She was unorthodoxly trained by Anakin unlike other padawans. She had regular Jedi training and all the unusually hard training that Anakin put her through. She was in some of the toughest battles during the clone wars with Anakin and Kenobi and probably had more battle experience than some of the Jedi masters of that time. She fought and won against Maul. This Inquisitor may have terrorized some padawans or weak Jedi knight but he was no match for Ahsoka. Thats why she beat him like she was just swatting a fly.

[@dgray3771]

Still a full on Jedi knight is too much for her. Baylan Skoll wiped the floor with her. And you can see he was way more proficient and in sync with the force. She is good. But a real sith Lord or Jedi knight is stronger.

[@Definitelyanormalhuman863]

@@dgray3771to be honest I don’t agree with what they did with that, Ashoka back in season 7 of the clone wars could fight relatively on par with Maul and although there were points were both got a clear advantage it was unclear who would be the ultimate winner Mind you this is the same maul who fought and killed a Jedi master whilst he was much weaker, was able to fight on par with Obi Wan, who was of similar level to Anakin and was also a Jedi Master. Plus she fights head on with Vader for longer than almost any Jedi knight would be able to, and lasts a similar amount of time as Jedi masters do in the Vader Comics I’d argue that Ashoka should be minimum Low tier Jedi master-High tier Jedi Knight at the Vader fight in rebels. So the fact she goes down to being bested by what is most likely a mid-high tier Jedi Knight seems wrong. But that’s just my personal opinion

This scene leads me to believe that clones are more efficient at hunting and killing jedis than the inquisitors.

[@mr.cookiecutter]

Yes and no. Order 66 worked because of how unexpected it was, and how unprepared the Jedi were for a betrayal of that magnitude. Most of the jedi were killed without even realizing what was happening, or were just overwhelmed by sheer numbers. The inquisitors were hunters, and a Jedi would never look at one and not see them as a threat. Inquisitors were far more deadly than your average clone, a group of around 15-20 clones might equal a lower level inquisitor. So in all, no. Clones would not be better than the inquisitors at hunting jedi. But the unexpected betrayal of order 66 is why so many jedi fell at the hand of the clones.

[@coffeein3145]

​@@mr.cookiecutter this is interesting, but then how many Jedi did clones vs inquisitors kill? Clones killed at least several hundreds on their own and not always in the back. How many did the Inquisitors get? The only ones I can think of are temple guards killed by the grand inquisitor somewhere behind the scenes which seems to be pretty ridiculous considering he didn't manage to kill a literal child(Ezra) and a Padawan(Kanan) on many occasions.

[@mr.cookiecutter]

@@coffeein3145 The clones in all have a higher jedi kill count. But that's mainly due to there not being many Jedi after order 66. So the inquisitors didn't have as many to hunt. As for the inquisitors, they did have a decent number of jedi kills under their belt (but nowhere near the number of someone like Vader or Greivous). As for Ezra and Kanan being able to survive the Grand inquisitor, that is due to them possessing the strongest power in all of fiction: plot armor.
