greetings acolytes of a galaxy far far away and welcome back to the channel recently with the release of the kenobi series we have gotten a lot more insight into the lives of the imperial inquisitors as well as the inquisitor culture within their own order a sub-order of the sith the entire lot of them are ambitious backstabbing conspirators that would just as soon kill one another on their own as they would a jedi if it meant advancing within their ranks or their power in the dark side anything to garner the praise from lord vader this harkens back to how the sith acted back in the days of old during the old republic era but of course it is very important to note that despite their similarities the inquisitors are not sith darth sidious is quite attuned to the rule of two and stands by it and treats the inquisitors as little more than force-gifted lackeys that he can sick on the remaining jedi of the galaxy just so lord vader doesn't have to unlike the sith the inquisitors are bound to the hierarchies and the ranks within the empire as far as the grand scheme of things are concerned the inquisitors as a whole is just another branch of the imperial military just as much as the stormtrooper core is just with special ranks and privileges as well of course of the sole task of hunting and killing jedi the inquisitors was structured in a number of set ranks that was likely based on accomplishment rather than raw power and connection in the force however that is exactly what we are come to talk about today for this video we will be restructuring the 12 inquisitors we know of in canon and ranking them in power based on what we have seen them do so without further ado let's rank the inquisitors based on their power levels and determine who was the weakest among their ranks as well as the most powerful first though according to our analytics a lot of you guys that watch the channel haven't actually subscribed yet so if you've been enjoying the content and want to stay up to date with everything star wars lore related force crush that subscribe button now students of the force let's begin with our assessment just to quickly get them out of the way we begin our list with the lowest two inquisitors that only briefly appear in the darth vader comic book run but don't actually accomplish much of anything in fact they do quite the opposite we don't even know their names or their ranks but one was a black-skinned twielek male and the other was a red-skinned female from an unidentified race the two inquisitors accompanied lord vader on his mission to kill jedi master and former council member eth koth as well as his family the two inquisitors though were uninterested in their roles as inquisitors and were much more infatuated with each other romantically the male showed more anti-imperialistic affection and desire to escape with his female cohort the female inquisitor was ready to run away with him as well and offered to kill vader so that they'd be free this treason ultimately resulted in them both being executed by lord vader himself this goes to show just how foolish these two inquisitors wore that they thought that they could even stand up to the might of their master or that their master would ever let them go freely this is why it is so difficult to place these two members but we are firmly placing them here at the bottom of the list the next inquisitor we'd like to mention is the sixth brother who was dispatched so quickly and easily we had to place him here at the bottom it was from his lightsabers that ahsoka had gotten the red crystals and purified them in order to make her new silver colored blades as i'm sure many of you well know there are very few naturally occurring red kyber crystals and as a result many sith have either synthetically made their red crystals through sith alchemy or they take their jedi kyber crystals and put it through a process known as bleeding when a dark sider bleeds a crystal they go through a careful and rigorous process of pouring all their hatred pain and malice into the lightsaber crystal during an intense meditation if it is successful the crystal will turn a deep crimson color as it is now begun to bleed it is only when a light side wielder takes a red crystal and heals it through the force with compassion and love will it heal and the color ultimately turns to white anyway during their meeting and confrontation ahsoka used the force to pull the kyber crystals out of the six brothers lightsaber hills causing them to become unstable and then explode in his face actually killing him nearly instantly again this is against an unarmed ahsoka tano and not an ahsoka tano from the rebels era either this is an ahsoka tano who has just barely survived the events of order 66 and the sixth brother put up little fight against ahsoka despite her being unarmed for the next inquisitor we are placing the fourth sister this is the green skinned inquisitor we see accompanying the inquisitors in live action in obi-wan kenobi she is seen at the inquisitor headquarters and in the background of a few scenes while hunting kenobi at the time of this video we have yet to see her show any skill in combat or perform any notable feats or useful tactics in the show the only other media that she appears in is a mission to fortress vader in this comic though we don't really see her do anything other than go in disguise and she fails in that mission too with the fourth sister failing in the only two missions that we know of her we place her here on the list until further evidence is provided what is important to note though is she has presumably lasted several years as an inquisitor moving up we have the eighth brother much like a few of the others the eighth brother was one who exemplifies more than anything else one of the main problems that cities had with the inquisitorius that being their incompetence with the eighth brother being one of the most incompetent of all being tasked with tracking down maul on malachor he instead finds himself facing kanan ezra and ahsoka tano rather than making a plan he instead attacks all three jedi head on using just his lightsaber and explosives without gaining any ground with his initial attack he instantly retreats and calls in the help from the seventh sister and the fifth brother we don't really get to see much of his martial prowess as he spends most of his screen time running away this is exactly how he dies as kanan manages to damage his lightsaber which causes him to plummet to his death speaking of the seventh sister she is next on our list despite her intimidating visage cunning action and persistence we can't help but place her rather low on our ranking the seventh sister is definitely the brains of her duo with the fifth brother but lacks enough skill to finish off kanan or ezra both of which are technically at the padawan level in terms of skill and power at the time that the seventh sister faces off against them however it should be noted that the seventh sister is clearly more competent than the other inquisitors listed on this list so far and it is at this point in our rankings that we will experience a pendulum shift as the inquisitors actually now have become viable threats still though the seventh sister is bested by an unarmed ahsoka and meets her end alongside the fifth and the eight brothers on malachor at the hands of maul maul who brutally dismembers her with his lightsaber despite her lack of notable accomplishments or even skill in combat the seventh sister at least deserves some notable recognition for her persistence as she is one of the few inquisitors that we've listed so far that is fully dedicated to the cause and absolutely tries her best which is more than we can say for the other early entries on the list up next we have the ninth sister finally moving towards the better half of the inquisitors the ninth sister is first introduced to us in jedi fallen order as she serves as a secondary antagonist next to inquisitor trilla being a female dowatin she is a hulking individual with immense strength and a massive lightsaber to boot she is a brick wall and a very intimidating inquisitor compared to the others and would easily strike fear into any jedi that she lay her eye upon unfortunately though it seems as if her physical strength and hulking physical might is the only thing that we can speak of as a positive way for this inquisitor the ninth sister serves best as a sidekick and is usually just taking orders rather than acting out her own plan she relies far more on her muscles than any brains or technique in the realm of the force brute strength is the farthest thing from making you a formidable opponent in the star wars universe though due to this she is little more than an obstacle for calcus a dragon to be slain if you will her lack of forward planning is actually the entire reason that cal escapes from trilla in the first place when he first encounters the inquisitor as the ninth sister opts to simply drop him off the side of the ledge rather than ensuring that cal is dead although to some this seems like a sound plan jedi are known for being able to survive great falls and not only an inquisitor but a force wielder herself the ninth sister should know this and should have better known that just to drop him off of the edge and out of her line of vision would not be enough without at least stabbing him with her lightsaber first now though we are heading into the big hitters of the inquisitors for the next one we have the third sister riva some of you may be surprised that she is ranking so relatively midway in our list but hopefully our reasoning will make sense to you at the time of this video's release we are past kenobi episode 3 and despite it being known that riva is quite capable she has demonstrated herself to be rash and impulsive not to mention to have been dominated by the force by the other two inquisitors on numerous times especially the fifth brother but we cannot deny that despite her impulsiveness she is at least cunning and resourceful as well as one of the most intelligent inquisitors by far riva is intelligent about her deception when her martial skills fail her she is also apparently very talented in force insight able to sense when someone is fearful or has some form of information that she wants to know she does this when she was able to pick out owen lars from the crowd as she could feel through the force that he knew something even if she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was she can get the impression when people know things and when she really needs to she can probe someone's mind through the force and extract the information manually a feat we have also seen kylo ren do it is clear that riva's talents lie in the more intellectual psychological sides of the force than rather brute strength and martial skill which though ironically makes her the perfect fit for an inquisitor and i would also like to point out that riva very well could move up far higher on this list when the kenobi series concludes and now students of the force we have reached the final four the truly formidable group of inquisitors taking the place right above riva is the fifth brother we place him right above her due to his power in the force as well as his physical abilities in star wars rebels he was mostly depicted as being another brute strength character without much else to offer however in obi-wan kenobi we see a much different side of the fifth brother like riva and the seventh sister he deeply desires the role of the grand inquisitor and is ready to do anything to get it even believing that he is next in line it's been speculated that he is actually in terms of ranks the second highest ranked of the inquisitors although riva's power and persuasion and mind probing make her effective at what she does she can still be easily dominated by the powers of the fifth brother through the force who demonstrated he could break her foreshield and subdue her while reclined in his chair therefore we place the formidable fifth brother above riva on our list now it is time for us to discuss trilla the second sister if anyone deserved the role of grand inquisitor it would be she cunning powerful intimidating and very strong in the force trilla serves as the main antagonist in jedi fallen order coming antagonizingly close to killing calcus multiple times she is the perfect combination of strength and cunning fierce and relentless she feels like an indomitable foe every time she makes an appearance in the game her lightsaber skill is very aggressive and far more effective than the other inquisitors who seem to just get tossed around in a duel trilla is strong and agile and her powers in the force leave little to be desired of course we can't help but mention that she does get most of the character work out of all of the inquisitors that we've seen so far we also get the impression that of the inquisitor she is one that has suffered the most by the end of her story we truly get a feel for her and in true star wars fashion she becomes a very sympathetic villain that nearly turned back to the light side before she was brutalized by darth vader for that only sentiment interestingly enough she was considered by a few of the other inquisitors to be stronger than the grand inquisitor but of course that wasn't something that they shared out loud that may surprise you to know that our number 2 spot is the 10th brother appearing only in the comics the 10th brother was once a jedi master named prosset dibs although completely blind he was regarded by mace windu as being exceptionally powerful in the force and mindfully insightful in fact he was hand-picked by mace windu for a special mission during the early days of the clone war during the mission master dibs would continuously express his objections for the jedi going to war and detested their new titles as generals much to the chagrin of mace windu who was also having these secret feelings but trying to bury them under the sense of duty to the republic this boiling confrontation came to a head when master dibs uncovered the truth of the nature of their mission and confronted mace windu about it he would go on to rant about how he truly felt about the whole war and how he wanted to defect from the jedi and have no part in the role that they were about to play after windu asked if he was done with his tirade master dibs punched him in the face the two though then engaged in a lightsaber duel and despite dibs being blind he was still very much a capable warrior keeping up with windu for the most part of the duel though of course in the end he was ultimately bested some time later he would become the 10th brother in the inquisitor's ranks in the end though he would ultimately be killed when his purge troopers turned against him as the inhibitor chips were activated within their minds by a jedi causing them to mow him and several other inquisitors down we placed the 10th brother so high on the list due to his known power as a jedi master prior to falling to the dark side of the force as well as his ability to compete with mace windu for a time a feat that no one else on this list can boast the tenth brother was a jedi master and now number one the grand inquisitor this most likely comes as no surprise to any of you as the grand inquisitor is that for a reason powerful skilled and ever so bloodthirsty for jedi he leads the inquisitors and reports only to darth vader himself the grand inquisitor was once a jedi temple guard who had become disillusioned with the jedi following the trial of the jedi padawan barus offi barris who gave a passionate speech about the state of the jedi order touched the heart of what would become the grand inquisitor as a temple guard he had been present for that that had been ordered to escort her to her prison cell talented in the force as well as in lightsaber combat the grand inquisitor spent an extensive amount of time pouring over the jedi archives to study their combat styles and learn everything he could about the jedi in order to make himself the perfect hunter for that he could analyze somebody's lightsaber dueling style in a matter of seconds deducing that kanan jarrus was a utilizer of form iii ceresu he also has defeated kanan and ezra on multiple occasions not to mention that he has presumably been a jedi nearly as long as the tenth brother has instead though being tasked with the protection of the jedi temple the tenth brother is also the most killed master of the inquisitor's lightsabers and the variant that the inquisitors possess using it masterfully against the jedi he's also the inquisitor with the most recorded jedi kills under his belt so therefore here at the channel we believe that he deserves this number one spot and so did vader as he gave him the rank of the grand inquisitor so students of the force what do you think of this very long list do you agree with our rankings for the inquisitors make sure to leave a comment down below expressing your thoughts as we would very much love to hear your feedback now until next time may the force be with you and have a great day
