Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - 17 Easter Eggs, Secrets & References Explained

12. The Inquisitorious

The Inquisitorious are a pivotal part of Fallen Order, and have been a mainstay of Star Wars continuity since the release of Star Wars Rebels, which was also set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.

The Empire's Inquisitors were all force-sensitive beings, and many were recruited from the ranks of the Jedi Order - as Fallen Order reveals in painful detail. They were all outfitted with double-bladed lightsabers that could rotate at a rapid pace if necessary, and were led by the Grand Inquisitor, a disgraced Jedi Temple guard who reported directly to Darth Vader.

Inquisitors were tasked with hunting Jedi survivors of Order 66 and did so with great prejudice, but were ultimately dismantled by the time the galaxy erupted into a full blown Civil War during the vents of the Original Trilogy. Fallen Order actually shows the Inquisitorious at the peak of their powers, as it wouldn't be until a few years later where Jedi Kanan Jarrus would kill the Grand Inquisitor in a duel on Lothal.
