It was so cool to see the Grand Inquisitor finally return to his skill in Rebels. Few people actually remember that Kanan and Ezra never won against him, Kanan only won against him once and that was the Inquisitor's death fight, well his phyisical body died but thats a story for another day, the rest of the duels they had outside help and fled or just outright fled. The closest to a second victory they ever got was when Ezra used the Dark Side to summon the giant bat thing. And even then that mainly served as a districation to the Grand Inquisitor rather than a way of beating him.
@@ДмитрийМаксимов-ж3е Yeah. It was ashame though that we didn't get a scene between him and Barriss about her being the reason he turned to the Dark Side and realised that to him the Jedi were wrong.
1:39 She is lucky the Inquisitor is not Vader, he would not smile if she pushed him like that. After all Sith are more akin to remind their minions of their place rather than be good teachers.
I have a feeling he wanted her to win. Not just against him, but against the other guy who wanted to become an Inquisitor. After all, she was the one who inspired him to turn dark after he heard her speech at the trial. I think it’s a way of paying her back.
I remember Vader taking one of the hands of the inquisitors in the Vader comic. I think it was the same race as the one Cal Kestis fights. The big large one. He’d never get pushed to begin with, since these dudes are at level 1 compared to his Maxed out level.
Blood's been in Star Wars since the first movie, and I'd argue even if there's fewer scenes of it, that the sequels are gorier than the prequels or OT (though none of them are particularly gory).
It scales well, he’s stated on par with ventress by filoni multiple times during rebels, and here he could fight barris, who did well against anakin and could perfectly disguise herself as ventress earlier than this point.
Exactly. The show is trying to make us feel sorry for her, but I didn’t feel sorry for her since she literally killed so many people before being imprisoned.
@@Erenthefreedomfighterin my personal opinion ,they made a mistake by not having her fight Vader , it would’ve been better had she failed a mission and Vader would use this excuse to kill her for what she did to Ahsoka Tano .
She bombed the temple to try to steer the Jedi. She went about it the wrong way of course, but I don't think she wanted to exterminate all of them, just cause a shock and give them a dose of reality. The Inquisitors misread this and they let her live.
@@whoawhereami7435also like anakin, she too saw the hypocrisy of the jedi order and got consumed by the dark side. That's why she bombed the temple but I think during her time in prison, she felt remorse and returned to the light.
You’re not understanding her character, she completely did a terrible thing but she did have remorse for it as she thought it was the only way to get her message across
@@mikerinzler6969 and dull. I can't deny that. Rupert's performance as Grand Inquisitor isn't bad but not good. He doesn't have the mannerism like Jason Issac has.
How did they butcher him? Grand Inquisitor faked his death. Third Sister never got the best of him, it was a plot between Vader and Grand Inqusitor to lead Third Sister into a trap by letting her get promoted so she can try and fail her little assassin attempt, so Vader can finally get rid of her. Grand Inquisitor and Vader literally exposed theme as being onto her the whole time and tricking her after Vader stabbed her. Apparently somehow you didn't understood GI faked his death?
We really need to see more blood in Star Wars stuff like in this particular scene and in the Acolyte. I know we’ve had blood in Star Wars before, we just don’t get enough of it if I have to be frankly honest
I know right? In the clone wars she seems much more skilled, and she did embrace the dark side a bit when she fought anakin. Idk why they made her this weak when she went against the inquisitor.
@@ceruleanprince7139in tcw Anakin was massively pre prime, and he didn’t want to kill Barriss, he needed to justify Ahsoka, presenting the true author of the Temple Attack. And Grand Inquisitor also very strong and skilled
@@ceruleanprince7139 The inquisitors are actually a lot stronger than most people think, is just that Filoni loves to make them look weak. In the novels rise of the red blade the Thirteen Sister was stated to have killed some "normal" Jedi masters. She was only an average inquisitor i think, meaning that The Grand Inquisitor is even more skilled and powerful. Barris was also holding back in the fight and she was very rusty after being locked up in a cell for so long.
that threw me off too. she's being told to attack an opponent without a weapon, no need for a defensive stance against blaster fire. i know she and luminara were both form 3 users so it may have been habit but she started the sequence with form 4, so its just weird that she held form 3's opening for so long
media literacy is dead omg, she's literally confused and hesitant, she switches to form 3 not knowing what's coming next. literally two seconds later the Inquisitor tells her to stop using her defensive training and stop holding back, the entire dialogue of this scene is centered around him mocking and discouraging her fighting. Cmon man, think a lil harder before you try so hard to outsmart the writers.
I’m still curious why some of the former Jedi willfully become Inquisitors. I know it’s because of Palpatine’s manipulation or they are not happy how the Jedi Council run things even before the Clone Wars. But I like to know each of their personal reasons, like with Anakin and Dooku. Starting with Anakin (obviously). He got picked on by the other younglings. The Council forbid him to be with his mother and to be in love with Padme. The Council turned their backs on Ahsoka, his apprentice. And not allowing him to become a Jedi Master. Dooku sees the Jedi as tools for a corrupted and broken government and Jedi did nothing.
Neither Dooku nor Anakin were Inquisitors. The Inquisitors were not fully fledged Sith, they were intentionally kept much weaker to prevent competition. As for why they’d join, it could be simple self-preservation. Join the organization hunting you down rather than continue being hunted. Some were tortured until they broke like Trilla. I think many Inquisitors (barring the Grand Inquisitor) were former Padawans, not Knights, so that might be why they were more willing to join.
Star Wars is weird sometimes, characters apparently just flip and flop to change whatever suits the moment How was Barriss such an excellent person, then suddenly became a happy-go-lucky smug cold blooded murderer who was fine killing civilians and framing her best friends, then suddenly she's all sweet and goody again? Wish they'd just stick to consistent portrayals of these more minor characters instead of chopping them up for the plot
Jason Isaacs sounds like he's straining his voice. Also, gotta love how conveniently Barriss can't fight against this clown, despite she had both Ahsoka and Anakin on their backfeet in TCW Season 5. Typical Filoni consistency.
@@oweninsect LMFAO No, he's pathetic. In every single piece of novel or short story he's been featured in, he was defeated soundly by rusty Padawans. In Kenobi, he's KO'd by Reva for good. And Kanan was able to keep up with him despite not using a lightsaber in 15 years. You are overestimating him.
@@yrooxrksvi7142 Let's see: fights Vader for a decent amount of time, defeats Jocasta Nu (former Jedi Council member), defeats the 13th Sister in combat training (who has defeated Knights and Masters), GI defeats Kanan 5 out of 6 times (comics, Rebels), and Obi-Wan was outright running from him in his own show (albeit when he was still demoralized).
