Summary
New information confirms that the new Inquisitor in the upcoming Ahsoka series is a former Imperial who became a mercenary after the Empire fell.
The theory of Ezra Bridger being the Inquisitor is disproven by the profile, which confirms that the new antagonist is indeed a bona fide Imperial Inquisitor. However, the identity of the Inquisitor, who goes by the name Marrok, still holds potential surprises. Speculation ranges from a well-known character concealed in disguise to a completely original character introduced for the series.
A recent update on the upcoming Ahsoka series has officially refuted one of the darkest theories surrounding the Inquisitors. The show has introduced a new and mysterious Inquisitor character, whose identity remains concealed beneath a masked helmet. However, thanks to the character's newly disclosed profile, we now have a clearer understanding of this formidable adversary, as well as the removal of at least one speculated name from the list.
During the time of the Empire, which was commonly referred to as the Dark Times, the Inquisitorius served directly under Darth Vader himself. Charged with the task of capturing any surviving Jedi after the execution of Order 66, Vader and his Inquisitors played a crucial role in upholding Emperor Palpatine's rule for almost two decades. However, it was widely believed that the Inquisitors had vanished before the events of A New Hope took place. Therefore, the introduction of a new Inquisitor in the Ahsoka series, set during the New Republic Era, has sparked considerable intrigue. Fortunately, the character profile of this Inquisitor sheds light on their activities following the fall of the Empire, while also confirming the individuals they are not.
Ahsoka's Inquisitor Worked For The Empire - So It Can't Be Ezra
Marrok, the newly confirmed Inquisitor, was once loyal to the Empire but later became a mercenary. This disproves the theory that he could be Jedi Knight Ezra Bridger, who was believed to have turned to the dark side while missing in the Unknown Regions. Instead, it is now clear that Marrok is a genuine Imperial Inquisitor. This revelation brings a sigh of relief as the "Evil Ezra" theory is debunked. Hopefully, Ezra will be found by Ahsoka Tano and their fellow Rebel allies, after being missing for years following his victory over Grand Admiral Thrawn. As Thrawn prepares to return as the "Heir to the Empire", there is hope that Ezra will also make a comeback. However, many intriguing questions still surround the upcoming Star Wars show.
Who Is Marrok, Ahsoka's Mystery Inquisitor?
Though Marrok is a fresh moniker, it may serve as a cover for a familiar Star Wars character, concealing a major revelation. Speculation surrounding Inquisitor theories often centers on Barriss Offee, a former Jedi comrade of Ahsoka during the Clone Wars, who turned to the dark side and falsely accused Tano of a bomb attack at the Jedi Temple. Despite Ahsoka's vindication and Offee's arrest, her ultimate fate remains undisclosed, intensifying the intrigue surrounding a potential Inquisitor unveiling. However, it is also possible that Marrok represents an entirely new persona in the forthcoming Ahsoka series, albeit with diminished excitement.
