Summary A new Star Wars book may have confirmed the brutal fate that awaited Darth Vader’s Inquisitors once the Jedi threat was eliminated. Darth Vader’s Inquisitors were first introduced in canon in Star Wars Rebels. Led by the Grand Inquisitor, these dark side Force-wielders were tasked with hunting down any surviving Jedi after the harrowing events of Order 66.
Palpatine Felt The Inquisitors’ Usefulness Had Come To An End In Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire by Dr. Chris Kempshall, the author theorizes that while it’s possible the Inquisitors dwindled in number until they died out completely, it’s equally possible and perhaps even more plausible that Vader, and more importantly, Palpatine, decided that the Inquisitors had overstayed their welcome.
At a certain point, most of the Jedi who had survived Order 66 went into hiding, cutting themselves off from the Force completely. Those Jedi wouldn’t have been a threat to Palpatine – in fact, having the Inquisitors hunt down those Jedi who had ceased to use the Force may have begun to work against them.
If the Jedi’s most decorated and beloved Jedi were already gone, what was the point in sending more Inquisitors out into the galaxy? Especially if there was even the slightest possibility that it would cause more problems in the long run, as demonstrated by their encounters with Cal Kestis. Darth Sidious may have eventually decided that the Inquisitors were more trouble than they were worth.
