Epic!

Low priority sectors and parts of the galaxy, as well as the fringe are much much slower to receive newer equipment. Thus the empire may well be using Clone Wars ships on the outer rim.
cf. EP 1. "I've outrun imperial starships before, not the local bulk cruisers, I'm talking about the big Corellian ships."
cf. "Looks like an Imperial Cruiser. Our passengers must be hotter than I thought."
The presence of even 1 Star Destroyer in the system is a hint to Han that his passengers are a big deal. This indicates to me that ISD's (or SD's of any kind) are few and far between in the outer rim. |
That all makes sense to me.

Yeah, I was surprised that the Imp I and Vic I & II had specific introduction years in their entries, and I'm sure a lot of the ships I didn't look into don't have that established.

This was always on my wish list of things I wish SWTCW had tackled. Inquisitors would have been at their most useful in the years immediately following Order 66, but unless there is some training area prior to then all he is going to have is dark jedi. |
Yeah, there really isn't much information in the Inquisitorius entry.

Well technically only a single Inquisitor has made it into the new canon so far. The EU has an entire organization of Inquisitors of various ranks, but Rebels just has The Inquisitor (and so far the character doesn't have any other name).

True. But still, the fact that they've included such a character at all suggests that somebody among TPTB likes the concept, at least a little, I would imagine. In my mind it's validation of the idea and position, and I imagine we'll eventually learn more about what that title/position entails.

One of the SWR episodes stated that the Inquisitor had removed & redirected a stormtrooper cadet that was outperforming all others (read force adept) the to train as an inquisitor or to kill and eliminate a potential threat has yet to be established.

In the EU entry for the Inquisitor organization, it says they would try to convert surviving Jedi to the Dark Side or kill them if not possible, so it seems that is likely the same mission the Rebels Inquisitor has. In the ABC rebroadcast of the pilot, a new scene opens up the episode showing Vader telling the Inquisitor that his master has tasked the Inquisitor with hunting down the "children of the Force". And in the first episode where the Inquisitor encounters Kanan and Ezra, the Inquisitor offers the Dark Side as an option to Ezra. So it seems the additon to the original mission of hunting Jedi is to also convert or kill children of surviving Jedi or otherwise Force-sensative children like Ezra.
