One of the most anticipated announcements at the Star Wars Celebration was that of the sequel to the video game Jedi Fallen Orderwhose trailer has given much to talk about
The videogame Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order it became a huge success upon its release. This Star Wars story featured Cal Kestis, a young Padawan who survived Order 66, and has remained hidden from the Jedi purge ever since. The game allowed players to take him across the galaxy as he searched for a very important holocron. However, for the fans, the story was very short and they were left wanting much more. But they received very good news when they learned that a sequel was in development.
Thanks to the Star Wars Celebration, fans were not only able to get a preview of the next chapter in Cal Kestis’ journey, which will come with the title of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but it could also have revealed that the Grand Inquisitor will appear in this story. . As a mysterious figure appears sitting at a desk that looks a lot like the one the Inquisitor sat on in the animated series Rebels. Later the face of the figure of Pauan origin is revealed, as is the grand inquisitor.
To create even more doubts we see a character with a red lightsaber about to face Kestis, since there were no active Sith at that time, apart from Darth Vader and The Emperor, everything pointed to the character being the great inquisitor, given that in the first installment he faced the second sister, a padawan who was captured and taken to the dark side, it means that the character is active.
Who was the grand inquisitor?
Some of you may wonder, but who is the grand inquisitor, obviously, if you haven’t seen the Star Wars rebels series, haven’t read some Star Wars comics, or haven’t seen the new live-action series yet, Obi-Wan Kenobi, this character will not be familiar to you.
Featured in the animated series Star Wars Rebels, Grand Inquisitor was a title used by the highest-ranking Inquisitor or Jedi hunters in the Galactic Empire. This character of Pau’ano origin was a former Jedi Temple Guard.
Known only as the Grand Inquisitor, he held this title, and was ranked above other Inquisitors such as Second Sister, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Sister, and Eighth Brother. As Grand Inquisitor, he reported to Darth Vader on his operations and hunted down Jedi who had survived Order 66.
But is he the Grand Inquisitor?
The official website from Star Wars answered this questionthanks to a legend, that the person in question is simply an Imperial senator on Coruscant.
Will we see the Grand Inquisitor in Jedi Fallen?
It is clear that in the timeline in which the story of Cal Kestis takes place, in the midst of the Jedi purge, the Inquisitors play an important role. So Cal will have a lot of work to do in order to survive. And there is no doubt that the Grand Inquisitor could make an appearance at any time, depending on the timeline, we know that in Rebels Kanan killed him.
The character also plays a role in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, the first two chapters of which are now available on Disney+although its design is remarkably different from what we could expect from a native of Utapau.
