Happy birthday Rook Kast 🥳

I saw a post discussing who the next antagonist in the second season would be. It got me wondering if the showrunners introduced Darth Vader too early. The fight scene was great and his introduction terrifying. Still, I think he should have been introduced later.
Perhaps the Grand Inquisitor would have been a better solution for the time being.

he’s completely obsessed with sideous in the show, but no mention of kenobi

Maybe he assumes kenobi is dead, but was a bit odd to me he blames everything on sideous when in rebels he blames everything on kenobi

Savage somehow has it and gives it to him. After he is captured by Ahsoka he gets it again once he escapes.

Is it ever explained on screen how this Sokka’s boomerang of a half hilt keeps coming back?

For Season 2 I don’t think they’ll reuse Marrok and the Crow. Likely use different Inquisitors after Maul to make more of them intimidating but I do know Marrok and the Crow are a fan favorite. I don’t think Vader would be sent to hunt Maul since the Emperor would likely have him do something else.

Had this idea sitting around in my head for a while, so I wanted to try drawing what I think the inquisitors might have looked like when they were Jedi. I did Marrok and the Crow because of their recent relevance, and the Seventh Sister because awooga.

A lot of people liked my idea that the Crow might be a Kaleesh, even though he has plantigrade legs (which Kaleesh have been depicted as having from time to time, so I'm not too concerned). Given how human-centric the Empire is, I imagine he (and potentially other non-humanoid Inquisitors) is forced to cover up his inhuman traits; hence, why he wears a heavy double cloak and long mask that his tusks can tuck into. The mask attaches directly to the hood at the sides, allowing his ears and scales to be concealed. The eye placement suggests that his eyes are higher on his head than a human's, a trait the Kaleesh have, and his tall stature (I estimated 6'6" based on clips of him) may also indicate this. I'm not 100% certain of his height though; Marrok appears about as tall as Maul, who is now about 6' with his prosthetics, and the Crow is easily a head taller than Marrok.

Marrok is a very unique Force-user in that he often just throws hands rather than rely solely on his lightsaber. The Kage are famous for being experts in unarmed combat; that, combined with slight similarities in their armor, was enough for me to speculate he may be one. I imagine him being a little older than the other inquisitors given his extreme skill level (though we do not know how the Kage age) and he was likely a very powerful Jedi Master before being broken by the Empire. He is known to be a user of psychometry, meaning he can see and experience past memories and emotions tied to objects by touching them. I imagine this may have been difficult during the Clone Wars, given he could see the horrors committed throughout which many other Jedi were blind to, yet another reason he may have turned away from the Order. (Also note that the pointed shape of his helmet leaves a perfect space to store his Kage man bun...)

I get the feeling that the Seventh Sister may have been a sweetheart before being tortured by Vader, and she seems to wish she could have been a mother. I like to think she had a padawan that she cared deeply for, before losing them either to Order 66 or the Empire, and her psychopathy developed as a coping mechanism ("if I can break others under torture, it proves that I am not weak for doing the same"). She appears fairly skilled with a lightsaber, but is less adept in hand-to-hand combat, hinting at a gentler nature when she was a Jedi. I have a headcanon that her padawan may have been a Quarren, given the similarities between their head shape and her hair covering. I made her pink because... because.

Anyway, this is entirely my interpretation, and it was very fun to draw. A solid 70% of this is speculation. Please feel free to suggest other potential theories!

Slime just means untrustworthy or sneaky. However, this dude was:

1. An idiot. What did he think was going to happen when there were multiple Imperial gunships around?

2. A coward. In attempting to save himself, he doomed everyone else.

3. A traitor. This goes against everything Mandalorians stand for. Rook had a high amount of reverence for Maul and believed in his vision. She personally held others accountable if they care only about money.

I would have loved to see her insult him in Mando'a (Mandalorian language). "Kebris, gar hut'uun'la di'kut" (Kebris, you cowardly idiot)
