New Star Wars Rebels Teaser: The Fifth Brother Speaks.
Disney XD has just unveiled a new 30-second television spot for Rebels comprised of all-new footage. The footage teases significantly darker stories and demonstrates the power of the Empire, featuring the two new Inquisitors prominently.
Rebels will have a panel at the New York Comic Con this Thursday. The show will officially return on October 14.

When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
…so was the “Grand Inquisitor” the First Father or something?
I think the Grand Inquisitor was just the Grand Inquisitor. I, too, am interested in seeing how the whole hierarchy of the Inquisitorious plays out.

I would think that officially Vader was the original Grand Innquisitor before passing the title to someone else.
It would certainly help rationalize his role within the empire… otherwise he would be officially an officer.
vaders officcial role is somethign that always confusedd me… do governments normally have “”that one guy taht does the things”
I would have to disagree. Darth Vader is a Sith Lord, something none of the other Inquisitors are. The Inquisitorious was basically founded so he could dedicate his work to other things, so his actual involvement in the order – besides training a few pupils – is extremely limited.
Darth Vader’s official role is Supreme Commander, if I’m remembering correctly.

Plus Filoni said in one of the videos this site posted, I think, was that the Inquisitor that was killed in season 1 was the Grand Inquisitor.
I know that he was the grand inquisitor up until he got killed, but I still feel like Vader could have had that role before him.
Being an inquisitor of any sort would be below him..he is an actual Sith Lord hence the given title “Darth”
Is everyone just going to ignore what I am saying? Yeah I know he is a sith lord, you dont have to tell me that he is a Sith lord… I know what a sith lord is.
I am saying, as part of his role in imperial functions that he might have been officially labeled as the grand Inquisitor at one point.
ITs just a title, it isnt going to magically sap away his power.
I see where you’re coming from now..I guess we’re just going to have to wait and see!
Yeaaaaaaah…. but the fact he and palpatine are Sith Lords is not widely known in the empire, and its implied in various works that they wouldnt be accepted if this was known.
The history of the sith is simply too dark for it to be accepted.
Why does the ad say it’s returning 24 October and not 14 October? Is this from another market outside the US?
This video was aired in Japan I believe. That’s why it says the 24th.
Not digging the names of the inquisitors. Fifth brother, seventh sister? Lame. I guess the empire wanted to make sure that everyone KNOWS that they’re brother and sister given Star Wars sketchy past with incest.
Well, lets see if this ties into the new films. I wonder if the rumor of the flashback scene in Episode 7 that shows a cult named “The Seven” has anything to do with these inquisitors.
I bet it does. The “sister” and “brother” names have a very cultish sound to them.
I reckon the same. I was looking through these comments to see if anyone else picked up on that idea
I can’t help but wonder if the names aren’t some kind of reference to the old Kurosawa film, “The Seven Samurai”.
I took “brother” and “sister” to be cultish titles rather than implying they are literally blood relatives. They don’t even look like the same species to me.
On Wookieepedia, it says that the Fifth Brother’s species hasn’t been identified, so you’re probably correct.
I was being sarcastic
I’m assuming the brother and sister titles are their “names” because all other bits of their former identities have been discarded. If the Inquisitors are the kidnapped younglings then their pasts were wiped away early enough they wouldn’t even remember what their given names were at birth. But the brother/sister labels are also reminiscent of the “siblings” from the Mortis story arc, I have to think that might tie in somewhere too. I mean the Grand Inquisitor from season 1 looked so much like the initial form the Brother manifested as when he introduced himself to the Jedi trio.
This is not the trailer you are looking for
Interdictors being pulled into canon?! Yes!!
The idea of multiple inquisitors takes me back to the clone wars episode when Cad Bane stole the Jedi Holocron from the Jedi Temple that had a list of Force sensitive young kings. I’m assuming post order 66 the empire obtained this Holocron and kidnapped these younglings and trained them as Dark side inquisitors. One of the first younglings being the Grand Inquisitor.

You don’t have to correct your mistakes with new comments. You can edit your comments after you’ve posted them.
Appreciate it. New to this lol
Inquisitors are the first thing I thought of when I saw Palpatine’s nursery for kidnapped force-users.
ditto
that’s exactly what I think the origin of the Inquisitor program was.
Dang Rebels looks better and better each clip.
Oh my God! Look at those menacing dark side HATS!!!!!! :-)))))))
Why can’t they give Imperial women better looking hats in this show? Or better yet, no hats?
Saves them time animating hair physics. Still- hate the weird witch hat…
I know, lol.
Might be opening a can of worms.
God knows what kind of hairstyles they’ll come up with.
I know what you mean…for some reason this is all I see when I watch these trailers…I could just be hungry though…
Awesome! And, is that Rhen Var?
huge expectations from season two
I really don’t like the new sabers that are popping up everywhere.
New beams. New sounds. And are the hand guards really that neccessary? To me it looks more like they will obstruct their fighting abilities.
Were gonna see more new sabers than this before the years out.
I actually really like them. My only thing is that they’re literally based on a toy that came out like 3 years before, lol.
technically they are based on some old TFA concept art that the toy was also based on… I think.
I think I got my toy in like 2010 or something, but I’m not sure. If I’m correct, that would actually make that toy older than whatever concept art you’re talking about.
ooops, I said TFA…
I menat TFU, the force unleashed… sorry.
complaining about sounds seems a little nitpicky …. especialy since I am fairly certain every saber has a unique sound and should have a unique sound as its a unique weapon.
The most recognizable thing about star wars has always been the ligthtsabers. That is the way they look and especially the way they sound. As soon as disney got hold of it they changed it.
Did they even sparkle before? I don’t remember them doing that.
Sure they did. It’s a quick light flash in most hits throughout the movie series. But not in Rebels.
They way the lightsabers look in Rebels replicates the way they originally looked pre-special edition…. so technically Disney is being more true to the look of the lightsaber than Lucasfilm was.
I seem to distinctly remember someone talking about how every lightsaber has a slightly different sound to it once before…
Also, the fact that they arent recycling sound workand making new sound effects means they are putting more effort into it.
It’s easy to compare. Darth Vader’s blade in Rebels and the same blade in OT. Despite that I’m pretty sure they sound different.
It’s all a ploy to sell toys. You can now buy pieces and make your own lightsaber. Is the stapler gun lightsaber stupid, yes. But little tweaks here and there to the lightsabers I don’t really mind.
Agreed. The blaster/lightsaber that looks like a staple-gun is just horrible. I enjoy the minor tweaking and customization that makes each lightaber unique, as long as they don’t get crazy! I don’t ever want to get back to garbage like this: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090521184317/starwars/images/c/c8/Lord_Nyax.jpg
I just hate how lightsabers blades look like in Rebels. They are too thin.
I don’t HATE them, but I agree that they should be made thicker to stay more in continuity.
So lets change ’em to maybe lightaxe?
I hope they explain the whole Inquisitor thing and how they came about,also what relation if any they have to the Knights of Ren. I would also like to know if they were something George Lucas thought up and passed on or if it’s all Filoni and Lucasfilm.
Bout time Filoni got in on the movie action too.
