Disney Unveils Its First New ‘Star Wars’ Character In ‘Star Wars Rebels’

A lot has happened in the short time that the Walt Disney Company purchased the Stars Wars franchise from George Lucas (some of it good, some of it worrisome) and today we get our first look at one major development. A new animated series titled Star Wars Rebels is set to debut and today we get our first look at the first NEW Star Wars character created since Disney bought the franchise. The character is a bad guy — a Jedi hunter, actually — and he will be a sidekick to Darth Vader. Click below to get your first look at The Inquisitor as he will appear in Star Wars Rebels.

The brand new Star Wars animated series Star Wars Rebels just released the very first, all new villain for the Empire. Take a gander at the Inquisitor. The Inquisitor premiered at the New York Comic-Con panel thanks to this video hosted by Dave Filoni. The Inquisitor’s job is to track down down the remaining Jedi Knights. He’s under the control of Darth Vader—HOWEVER do not think that The Inquisitor negates Order 66. Everyone at the panel said this is still something very important to them and they want to continue to place importance around the fact that Luke is the last Jedi. And finally, even though we got this character there is still no announcement on which additional characters would be returning to the animated series.

It’s unknown if any of the animated characters will appear in the live-action Star Wars films that are in production but I suspect there will be enough new characters to go around. I don’t watch the animated Star Wars shows (except for the Star Wars/Lego cartoon that I caught a few weeks ago and really loved) but I’m gonna guess that characters we see in the toons will likely appear on the big screen, too. It’s weird to think of a bunch of new Star Wars characters heading our way but Disney paid a lot of money for the franchise. They’re gonna do everything they can to make it their own.
