President Sunday not really, the stress of them knowing what vader will do to them if they fail makes them way more confident. It’s their life or their punishment.
I believe there's a reason for that: Vader was a complete Sith Lord, kanan didn't even finished his Jedi training, therefore, he wasn't expecting him to think the same strategy.
Well for one that appeared in the comics after this show so they just stole that idea. As well given that all inquisitors use that style of lightsaber, he could not really change much about that weakness beyond keeping moving. Kanan cornered him half off the ledge meaning he had to stay still. If he could move he could have prevented his lightsaber from being a relatively easy target. If Kanan had missed the constant hammering from the Inquistor's lightsaber likely would have disarmed him by knocking the lightsaber out of his hand.
I was just thinking about that! He had probably seen the Sisters and Brothers that have failed or betrayed Darth Vader going down horribly. Based on the Fallen Order and the comics.
@2:15 so that is what Trilla's spinning lightsaber maneuvers remind me of. Oh and about the Grand Inquisitor... he may be the one that actually kills Cal and crew if there's ever a sequel.
True, but it’s pretty explicitly stated that he’s scared of reporting failure to Vader. The Star Destroyer was in the Mustafar System during this fight, so they were literally fighting on Vader’s doorstep.
I feel that the Grand Inquisitor's fighting style was Niman with a strong Makashi element to it. When he fought with a single blade, he generally used one hand and was very cut and thrust, similar to Count Dooku (just not as well done). When fighting with two blades, he made sure to be as unpredictable as possible, utilising the benefits inherent to his weapon, similar to what Exar Kun did (just not as well done as Kun)
I know I have pointed this out, but The Grand Inquisitor is so much like Admiral Zhao from Avatar--both are voiced by Jason Isaachs, they're both Imperial officers who are the main antagonists of the first season. During the first season finale, they fight their enemies atop a bridge, and they graciously accept their deaths and commit suicide. Their deaths lead to more dangerous foes appearing at the respective finales' ending scenes.
What I like about this scene is Kanan actually though Ezra died, and acted like it. Most of the time when you see a main character get thrown off a high place during a battle like they’re supposed to die their allies don’t normally react like they just died, but seeing Kanan actually think Ezra died was pretty cool.
The Inquisitor's form 2 sucks hardcore at blaster deflection and on top of that they are on a ledge. Ezra's lightsaber is really efficient to pin down enemies and provide distance.
@@rom_4766 But that's why he said the quote in the first place. Circumstances forced him to shoot Grievous, so afterward, he tossed the blaster away remarking how uncivilized it was.
It’s not even about respect. He thinks ezra is dead and so he doesn’t have to worry for his safety anymore and can fully focus all his energy on the duel.
Grand Inquisitor'e favourite form is form 2 which requires one blade only, Count Dooku himself who used Makashi technique from form ll thought that using a double bladed lightsaber or 2 lightsaber is pathetic
Kanan practically proves right here that you can be a jedi and have attachments. He didn’t give into the hate when he thought he lost Ezra. He took that breathe, accepted what happened, and let the force guide him.
It wasn't. They laster for over 1000 years with such rules. They lost to politics of Palpatine and decision to train Anakin despite sensing fear in his training. Also Kanan proves he is more balanced with his attachments gone.
@@grimreaper7059 1000 years because they'd get shit on every few hundred years then bounce back. The Sith were literally created when the Jedi outcasted those they didn't deem worthy.
@@GenifaFFX Kanan stated it himself. When he believed that Ezra was dead he said that he had nothing left to lose. Then he fought better then ever without any trace of dark side vs the grand inquisitor. Ezra was more a bro and a friend to him than a traditional padawan which was an attachment that led to his fear of Ezra dying. Without such fear he was in balance with the light side and the force.
Correct. He feared losing Ezra, then his worst nightmare came true when Ezra "died". Kanan faced that critical moment, but instead of succumbing to grief, he mastered it and processed his grief in the Jedi way. He mastered his fear in a way that Anakin never could. That fear was clouding his connection with the Force, holding Kanan back from embracing his true potential; after he mastered that fear, he became a true Jedi Knight.
Best exchange of dialogue in the Star Wars universe.... Kanan: That was a mistake. Grand Inquisitor: Why? Because you have no one left to die for you? Kanan: No....Because I have nothing left to fear.
Honestly it’s why Kanan was one of the few Jedi in the Old Order who really embodied the ideals of the Jedi. When he lost what he loved, or was threatened by that loss, he never gave into his emotions and did what needed to be done. For Ezra, Sabine, Hera - all the Ghost crew. The world came first, him and his emotions second.
@@joshuafoy9355 Exactly. Kanan also demonstrated the Jedi ideals when he told the Grand Inquisitor how the Force was far more powerful than fear. A Sith would never have said that.
@@sumanadasawijayapala5372 The Sith’s view on fear is, at best, a coping mechanism for their own insecurities. Let’s be real; Darksiders like the Inquisitors, and even Sith Lords like Vader and Palpatine, are all afraid of something or other and because of that they convince themselves that fear makes them stronger. Without that, they have nothing left other than the fear of what drove them to the Dark Side in the first place. The Inquisitor’s are afraid of the Sith, so they turn that fear into a weapon to kill remaining Jedi so they don’t face punishment. Palpatine is, at his core, afraid of death. It’s why he is obsessed with cloning and the transference of consciousness, along with making himself the most important man in the galaxy. He’s terrified of his own mortality, but if he can’t live forever then he’ll make sure the universe remembers him. Vader’s fear is different, however, to the fear that drove him to the Dark Side: the fear of losing his loved ones. From what I can tell from his appereances in comics and video games like Vader Immortal, the only thing Vader truly fears anymore is himself, and the things he’s done. If he lets go of the power of the Dark Side for even a momen, he’ll remember who he was, all the people he lost and the terrible things he’s done. Obi-Wan had it right: The Dark Side is strong, but those who stand against it are even stronger, because they can move past their fear.
The Force gave him enough clarity of mind and precision to take advantage of the weakness of the Grand Inquistor's lightsaber. Up to this point the Grand Inquistor was too good for Kanan to defeat. But because Kanan became more in tuned with the Force he was able to beat a more skilled opponent.
Look at it this way, the Inquisitor seems to spin his blades to confuse and overwhelm. It terrifies his opponent. But in that moment Kanan had no fear while the Inquisitor used it out of fear of defeat. He was able to see it for what it was. A gimmick.
What I really like in this duel is that when Kanan believes Ezra died, the standard reaction is anger. In star wars terms this means the stock solution would be to tap into the dark side and use anger at his fallen apprentice to win the day (or alternatively fail and learn that the dark side is bad yada yada). But instead they take the opportunity to show off the basis and utility of the Jedi ideology. Kanan initially falls into despair but you can see he calms himself. He detaches himself and is released of all fear because his most immediate fear has come to pass. It's this jedi equilibrium that allows him to defeat the inquisitor. He is now balanced. This is what I think he means when he says the force is more powerful than fear.
My favorite thing about this is that none of the people in the video are either sith or Jedi. The inquisitor isn't a sith, just trained into the dark side of the force but not enough to he considered sith and Kanaan never completed his Jedi training when he was a padawan. He left after order 66. Just force users that have sabers duking it out, none of the old religion.
TheSunStudio1 He can say whatever he wants but they're not sith nor jedi. He isn't a sith acolyte and Ventress wasn't one either. She was an assassin who thought she was one but they used her like a dog on the hunt and nothing more. Kanan even says it in "a new dawn" book that he isn't a jedi. Just like Ashoka, he never finished his trials and became one. Ashoka leaving on her own accord. Also the reason why Ventress and the inquisitor was never a sith acolyte is because of the rule of two. There can only be two sith and if one of them were training another sith then the other one will kill that acolyte. They never taught them force lightning, or the real sith teachings. Vader can't use force lightning for one reason and one reason only, it would fry his life support on the suit. That is why in the old legends material Starkiller was a "secret apprentice" because if sidious found out Vader was training someone so Vader can take the emperors place you know he would have just killed him right there and then,
Needler13 Dark Acolytes are simply just servants of the Sith Lords, they do not own the title of 'Darth'. Therefore, they do not break the Role of Two. Plus, the Rule of Two had already been broken! If you read the official novel Darth Plagueis you will know that there are three Sith Lords holds the title of 'Darth' in the same time!(Darth Plagueis, Darth Sidious and Darth Maul)
TheSunStudio1 No but sith acolytes are still trained by the sith to become sith. That isn't the case here. He wasn't trained at all to take the sith title. You bring up Darth Plaguesis Book which isn't canon anymore. The rule of two was never broken. When Sidious was training Maul that was in preparation to take the Masters thrown. This is the sith way of the rule of two. The master trains his apprentice and the apprentice in time will train another and kill his master and take his place. That is the rule of two, that is why when Maul came back in the clone wars Sidious had to kill him. He had become a rival when he started to train Savage Opress and Maul has been replaced by Dooku. Also sith acolytes aren't canon anymore either, that was an old republic thing that was purged as well.
TheSunStudio1 He's not trained in the ways of the sith. He's just trained in the dark side. Also the rule of two and Darth Bane is canon. In the clone wars (which is canon) he shows up and even Yoda confirms he created the rule of two. the rule of two is still in place since sidious went to kill Maul because he was a rival, he was no longer his apprentice. He became another sith that had his own apprentices which conflicts with the rule of two. I know Maul didn't kill him, he escaped in son of dathomir which is also canon but the fact remains that the inquisitor isn't sith because it conflicts with the rule of two. They're just dark side users, not sith. More like Ventress.
It’s been years but I still love this duel from this show, the way we see Kanan tap into his potential, he’s not holding back. And this was even before he went blind and went on a whole new level. It’s just a very fluid and clean duel that inspires a lot of nostalgia
I think it works when it does and it doesn't work when it doesn't. This fight looked cool with the skinny lightsabers but some fights look off. Like Obi Wan vs Maul. It just looked weird
I always liked Kanan's seamless integration of blaster fire into his fighting style here. Don't know if it exists elsewhere in canon or Legends, but it'd be cool to see more of that hybrid style of combat. Of course, blasters are considered "so uncivilized" if we're talking strict, traditional Jedi, but I think it'd fit well for "wayward Order 66 survivor" types like Kanan.
Spoilers: Remember when Tarkin mentioned Mustafar being the place where Jedi go to die? Now we know why. Pablo just confirmed, Vader's castle is located here.
You cut out part of the fight. You're missing the part where Ezra wakes up, watches Kanan, and is amazed at how well he is fighting. Without that scene, it makes the lightsaber fight really short.
I read it's supposed to symbolize his growth in the force, like he doesn't need to use the blaster part. But honestly I'd rather have gun-saber than a metaphor.
Pretty smart of Kanan to use the blaster and Ezra to join in. Form II and Form VI used by the Grand Inquisitor both suffer similar weaknesses, they are not great against multiple opponents or blaster wielding foes.
Yeah also made me happy that kanan used both form 3 and form 5 like obi wan and anakin. Only would have been more op if depo bilaba had time to teach kanan form 7 since that was her main style outside of close quarters.
I don't think that Ezra was of much help here. The main help he gave Kanan was to steal his lightsaber back which Kanan could use to defend better. I think this second lightsaber gave him a good boost.
@SOFIA LEE (Student) "Why, because you have no one else to die for you?" "No, because now I have nothing left to fear." The Inq. Then salutes by 'tapping' the saber to his forehead which Kanan returns. If you watch the clip where Kanan fights the Temple guard, the guard mimics the motion before the duel. Which is fitting since it's the same being.
@SOFIA LEE (Student) It's a subtle gesture, but I love the change it brings to the fight. Where before these were fights for the rebels to escape and complete an objective and for the Inq to capture them, now it's a proper duel where they both are agreeing to hold nothing back and only one is walking away.
Storm Bringer777 I just don't understand why they distant the inquisitors in seasons 3 and possibly 4, they had maul and all we saw was short lightsaber duels between kanan and Obi-Wan. The inquisitors had so much potential to the point of still being a threat during the original trilogy but nooo, tarkin's lying mouth had to be such a ticket to fooling everyone.
Sidious used Anakin's fear to manipulate him into becoming Vader Once the Jedi fell Kanen's fear has prevented him from continuing his training (before Ezra) Only when Kanen lost his fear could he defeat the Inquisitor into submission kinda like how Luke only became a jedi after he let go of his anger and fear
I like that in lore, the inquisitors’ lightsabers are meant to intimidate and strike fear into their enemies, but after Ezra falls and Kanan says that he has nothing left to fear, he starts winning.
It actually make sense these characters lived through 2 wars and are properly trained. Kylo was taught by luke a first time teacher and Rey just go for basic techniques and raw talent.
I was surprised they didn’t show up in the 1st game. Sure the rebels in the show are a problem for the empire but Cal defeated multiple inquisitors and was actively trying to recreate the order and was at odds with the inquisitors for the list. Cal seems like he would be the prime target for the grand inquisitor.
I LOVE how Kanan dodges the Inquisitor's kicks at 00:25. Earlier in the season, he always got kicked. As the Inquisitor himself said in a different episode: "You've been practicing!"
3:29 I fell into a burning ball of fire I went down down down And the flames went higher And it burned burned burned That ball of fire That ball of fire *The Inquisitor's theme song*
When Kanan reveal his absence of fear and found his strength in the force the Grand Inquisitor began to fear that power thus in his own fear he revealed his weakness which Kanan then exploited
Season 1 main villain was their toughest challenge since neither the seventh sister fith brother or eighth brother weren't nearly as strong as the grand inquisitor and thrawn maybe 1 of the best admirals but still
In my opinion they should have made Barris the grand inquisitor and introduced her in series 2 while making this guy a lower ranking inquisitor as it shows if a low-rank inquisitor is this dangerous, how dangerous is their leader and more importantly the Sith?
Obi-Wan uploaded lightsaber lessons from Anakin when he rerigged the beacon in the Jedi Temple, so Anakin's style sort of bled into the Order 66 survivors when they go on the attack
If watching Star Wars has taught me anything, its that if someone starts duel-wielding lightsabers, leave em' alone......🤔......except Asajj Ventress, perhaps; she still got her butt kicked a lot.
IT wasent a sith spirit it was the grand incuesiter him self burning un flames that survied and battleled Luke and got scolded by vader (Anikan skywalker )himself that faleded to pertect the yellow lightsaber (Luke secend lightsaber)(if now wan read the comics *spoliers* luke secend lightsaber wasent his green wan it was a yellow wan in the comics tempererly until he billed his infames green lightsaber)and the grand incuesiter was orered to pertect the temple for eternety by vader (anikan skywalker)
1:24 I really like this fight but I have never understood this moment. Lightsabers have no weight, he wouldn't be knocked down by one and given how Ezra was standing, he should've had good enough balance.
Ezra was just a padiwan, Plus the fear of fighting an inquisitor combined with Ezra using his MASTERS instead of his own caused him to fall, Also this is his 1st real dual where he didn’t just get pushed away or stripped of his lightsaber, on top of this his biggest fear is the grand inquisitor, how can you beat your biggest fear, even so you would make a lot of mistakes.
I love Ezra’s lightsaber. It’s a shame that Vader ruined it at the end of the second season. 0:09 to 0:17 shows how cool the lightsaber is. Kanan is so smart, especially for someone who was only an apprentice during Order 66.
I kinda feel like these 2 are supposed to be the spiritual successors of dooku and obi wan. You can tell the grand inquisitor uses form 2 due to him alway going back to a one handed stance and he’s quick and fluid movements. As well as how kanan uses he own revises version of form 3 as was said when the 2 first met. While on opposite sides you can tell they do have a level of respect for each other especially when they did the jedi salute before fighting.
"There are some thing's far more frightening than death..." "Like what?" "Have you ever seen Darth Vader without his helmet on? Never again." *drops dead*
He was. After Ezra 'died', Kanan mastered his fear and began to embrace his true potential as a Jedi. He began to fight far better than before, enough that even the Inquisitor was no match for him.
This is me when I play maul in battlefront. I go from playing with my pray than when another one of his team mates come i stop look at them both and I’m like “finally an actually fight” 😂😂😂
It seemed when the Grand Inquisitor was faced with Two People with One Blade each, I admire how he went along with the system of ‘2 on 1’ literally; igniting his full Lightsaber’s Two Blades, and then when against Kanan Only, was it again ‘1 Blade against 1’, then to ‘2 Blades against 2’. Quite Adaptive, and, of course, an Implied Technique to Follow Through with
When ezra "dies" in this scene, Kanan saying "i have nothing left to fear" says that he did have a fear of losing ezra, but he never let that fear consume him. Kanan could've easily gone full dark side of the force here and destroyed the inquisitor, but he didn't. He accepted ezra's "fate" and rejected any fear that was left in him, fully embracing the light.

Just force users that have sabers duking it out, none of the old religion.
Said by Dave Filoni that Kanan is a cowboy Jedi and The Inquisitor is in fact a Imperial Sith Acolyte.
TheSunStudio1 He can say whatever he wants but they're not sith nor jedi. He isn't a sith acolyte and Ventress wasn't one either. She was an assassin who thought she was one but they used her like a dog on the hunt and nothing more.
Kanan even says it in "a new dawn" book that he isn't a jedi. Just like Ashoka, he never finished his trials and became one. Ashoka leaving on her own accord.
Also the reason why Ventress and the inquisitor was never a sith acolyte is because of the rule of two. There can only be two sith and if one of them were training another sith then the other one will kill that acolyte. They never taught them force lightning, or the real sith teachings. Vader can't use force lightning for one reason and one reason only, it would fry his life support on the suit.
That is why in the old legends material Starkiller was a "secret apprentice" because if sidious found out Vader was training someone so Vader can take the emperors place you know he would have just killed him right there and then,
Needler13
Dark Acolytes are simply just servants of the Sith Lords, they do not own the title of 'Darth'. Therefore, they do not break the Role of Two. Plus, the Rule of Two had already been broken! If you read the official novel Darth Plagueis you will know that there are three Sith Lords holds the title of 'Darth' in the same time!(Darth Plagueis, Darth Sidious and Darth Maul)
TheSunStudio1 No but sith acolytes are still trained by the sith to become sith. That isn't the case here. He wasn't trained at all to take the sith title.
You bring up Darth Plaguesis Book which isn't canon anymore. The rule of two was never broken. When Sidious was training Maul that was in preparation to take the Masters thrown. This is the sith way of the rule of two.
The master trains his apprentice and the apprentice in time will train another and kill his master and take his place. That is the rule of two, that is why when Maul came back in the clone wars Sidious had to kill him. He had become a rival when he started to train Savage Opress and Maul has been replaced by Dooku.
Also sith acolytes aren't canon anymore either, that was an old republic thing that was purged as well.
TheSunStudio1 He's not trained in the ways of the sith. He's just trained in the dark side.
Also the rule of two and Darth Bane is canon. In the clone wars (which is canon) he shows up and even Yoda confirms he created the rule of two. the rule of two is still in place since sidious went to kill Maul because he was a rival, he was no longer his apprentice. He became another sith that had his own apprentices which conflicts with the rule of two.
I know Maul didn't kill him, he escaped in son of dathomir which is also canon but the fact remains that the inquisitor isn't sith because it conflicts with the rule of two. They're just dark side users, not sith. More like Ventress.
POV: You just saw the kenobi trailer and now you want to see this guy in action again
1:03 Ezra swinging his sword like Obi-Wan is a cool ass detail because he learned Form 3 from Kanan which Obi-Wan also used.
It’s been years but I still love this duel from this show, the way we see Kanan tap into his potential, he’s not holding back. And this was even before he went blind and went on a whole new level.
It’s just a very fluid and clean duel that inspires a lot of nostalgia
Say what you will, I actually kinda like the skinny lightsabers.
Ikr ? It's supposed to be like the original concept art for lightsabers. I think they're just fine.
I do like the OT and Mcquarrie style of this show. I just wish it was about Kanan...
Same. I really don't care how a lightsaber looks.
Kind of like of the swords used for fencing in those Robin Hood movies.
I think it works when it does and it doesn't work when it doesn't. This fight looked cool with the skinny lightsabers but some fights look off. Like Obi Wan vs Maul. It just looked weird
I always liked Kanan's seamless integration of blaster fire into his fighting style here. Don't know if it exists elsewhere in canon or Legends, but it'd be cool to see more of that hybrid style of combat.
Of course, blasters are considered "so uncivilized" if we're talking strict, traditional Jedi, but I think it'd fit well for "wayward Order 66 survivor" types like Kanan.
I think Kyle Katarn and heck even Luke did it
@@daddystamkos5900 yeah but luke wasn't a Jedi yet on episode 5
I think it counts as Jar-Kai
Visla used blasters and saber.
Spoilers:
Remember when Tarkin mentioned Mustafar being the place where Jedi go to die? Now we know why. Pablo just confirmed, Vader's castle is located here.
HiddenWen so the grand inquisitor died on vader's doorstep.
You cut out part of the fight. You're missing the part where Ezra wakes up, watches Kanan, and is amazed at how well he is fighting. Without that scene, it makes the lightsaber fight really short.
That's at 2:11. You can see it pan down to Ezra. The shot directly after is what Ezra sees.
Actually it's better cus Ezra is annoying as hell
No it actually makes it better because Ezra straight up telling the scene ruins the aspect of us being shown about Kanan’s growth
@@legomandalorian6487 I feel like Ezra was fine but he really did ruin some of the better scenes
@@LaggingDuck- But Ezra does grow up...
"There are some things far more frightening than death"
My visual appearance in the Kenobi series
while ezra’s lightsaber wasn’t traditional or anything, i really thought it was cool. kinda sad they destroyed it.
I like the green one better tbh.
Hey, at least if it's gonna be destroyed, let it be destroyed by the legendary Darth Vader
i liked it
It definitely came in handy here. I love the look on the Inquisitor's face when Kanan started blasting.
I read it's supposed to symbolize his growth in the force, like he doesn't need to use the blaster part. But honestly I'd rather have gun-saber than a metaphor.
I have nothing less to fear” will always be one of the greatest lines from SW Rebels
Agree ❤
Pretty smart of Kanan to use the blaster and Ezra to join in.
Form II and Form VI used by the Grand Inquisitor both suffer similar weaknesses, they are not great against multiple opponents or blaster wielding foes.
Yeah also made me happy that kanan used both form 3 and form 5 like obi wan and anakin. Only would have been more op if depo bilaba had time to teach kanan form 7 since that was her main style outside of close quarters.
@@carloz1536 5 ? Seemed more like Ataru, especially since he defeated the GI with Jar'Kai, which is either based on Form IV or VI.
I don't think that Ezra was of much help here. The main help he gave Kanan was to steal his lightsaber back which Kanan could use to defend better. I think this second lightsaber gave him a good boost.
1:39 that smile though
That salute. I love gentlemen villians.
@SOFIA LEE (Student) "Why, because you have no one else to die for you?"
"No, because now I have nothing left to fear."
The Inq. Then salutes by 'tapping' the saber to his forehead which Kanan returns. If you watch the clip where Kanan fights the Temple guard, the guard mimics the motion before the duel. Which is fitting since it's the same being.
@SOFIA LEE (Student) It's a subtle gesture, but I love the change it brings to the fight. Where before these were fights for the rebels to escape and complete an objective and for the Inq to capture them, now it's a proper duel where they both are agreeing to hold nothing back and only one is walking away.
This episode was when I realized Rebels was capable of making great episodes and moments.
I got chills as a kid at 1:59...
Don’t blame you
Now this is a fucking battle. I really wish there were more fights like this in Rebels. It reminds me of the fights in The Clone Wars series.
Ahh, the good old days, hm?
Esork Gonzalez now they have an actual budget they have to stick to not the amount that George Lucas through at them when they needed it
I agree, this is one of the best fights in rebels
Storm Bringer777 I just don't understand why they distant the inquisitors in seasons 3 and possibly 4, they had maul and all we saw was short lightsaber duels between kanan and Obi-Wan. The inquisitors had so much potential to the point of still being a threat during the original trilogy but nooo, tarkin's lying mouth had to be such a ticket to fooling everyone.
Grand Inquisitor Sug The Dark Clone of Gus Ahsoka killed the sixth brother in order to build her white lightsabers
Honestly, this is some of the best fight coreography I've ever seen in Star Wars
Sidious used Anakin's fear to manipulate him into becoming Vader
Once the Jedi fell Kanen's fear has prevented him from continuing his training (before Ezra)
Only when Kanen lost his fear could he defeat the Inquisitor into submission kinda like how Luke only became a jedi after he let go of his anger and fear
Congratulations: you've nailed one of the fundamental themes of Star Wars. Many people never catch that.
1:50 is my favorite part of Kanan
I like that in lore, the inquisitors’ lightsabers are meant to intimidate and strike fear into their enemies, but after Ezra falls and Kanan says that he has nothing left to fear, he starts winning.
When you realize a lightsaber fight from a children's cartoon is better than any lightsaber fight in the entire sequel trilogy.
Marcus Forney I’m willing to bet you thought that was really clever huh?
It actually make sense these characters lived through 2 wars and are properly trained. Kylo was taught by luke a first time teacher and Rey just go for basic techniques and raw talent.
Sequels bad lmao, HAHAHAHAHAH. We gottem, the sequels are no more!
@@blackpowderkun Luke was trained for 30 years with 3 ghosts.
@@GNN_CamInFocus he ain't wrong tho the duels in the sequel trilogy have no impact unlike the rest of star wars
They officially need to include blaster training in jedi teachings. Think of how good a Jedi could be with a blaster
"So uncivilized..."
how the jedi order is destroyed moron
@@bernardlermite178 was about to say the same thing lol
@@AntonLVX not exclusively
There's literally a saber form dedicated to reflecting blaster bolts. Firearms wouldnt do much good
Grand Inquisitor for Jedi Fallen Order 2 anyone?
Aldren Embercrow I Hope so
I was surprised they didn’t show up in the 1st game. Sure the rebels in the show are a problem for the empire but Cal defeated multiple inquisitors and was actively trying to recreate the order and was at odds with the inquisitors for the list. Cal seems like he would be the prime target for the grand inquisitor.
With the way Ninth Sister mentioned him, I feel like he's bound to show up.
Yh but the ninth sister survived the fight. It is proven in lore
actually im curious in the timeline how appart they are?
I LOVE how Kanan dodges the Inquisitor's kicks at 00:25. Earlier in the season, he always got kicked. As the Inquisitor himself said in a different episode:
"You've been practicing!"
I love how Kanan centers himself after Ezra's "death."
3:29
I fell into a burning ball of fire
I went down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burned burned burned
That ball of fire
That ball of fire
*The Inquisitor's theme song*
This is awesome!
Hey thanks. :)
Add in "The Inquisitor's theme".
Done.
Is that supposed to be in the tune of "The Ring of Fire?"
0:04 I love how the Grand Inquisitor ignites his blade here. He looks so menacing, just waiting for the chance to absolutely maul Kanan and Ezra.
Kanan: But what is more frightning than death?
Grand Inquisitor: Good question.
Vader
@Anthony Downhill That shit was a nightmare in naruto, so indeed.
When Kanan reveal his absence of fear and found his strength in the force the Grand Inquisitor began to fear that power thus in his own fear he revealed his weakness which Kanan then exploited
Inquisitor: There are some things more frightening than death.
Vader: Somebody say something?
Inquisitor: "I'm one of the greatest warriors of the empire!"
Kanan: "haha lightsaber go pew pew!"
“I have nothing left to fear” a badass starwars line if theres any
Season 1 main villain was their toughest challenge since neither the seventh sister fith brother or eighth brother weren't nearly as strong as the grand inquisitor and thrawn maybe 1 of the best admirals but still
uhm, are you forgetting that they "fought" against vader
In my opinion they should have made Barris the grand inquisitor and introduced her in series 2 while making this guy a lower ranking inquisitor as it shows if a low-rank inquisitor is this dangerous, how dangerous is their leader and more importantly the Sith?
You guys forgot maul aswell.
@@elliottknifton8902 I think that they were gonna make Bariss an inquisitor but they cut it out
"There are some things far more frightening than death... Lord Vader will be sarcastic when he meets me. You hear that? Sarcastic!"
the way kanan incorperates the blaster into his lightsaber fighting is amazing
Especially since the inquisitor fighting style makes it so that it struggles with long range or opponents with blasters
2:05
Even though kanan is pissed. They both still do that honorable initiation of a fight
3:09
Kanan : ITS OVER MALFOY , I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND
Form III: Soresu user fighting aggressively...are we SURE Depa Bilaba taught Caleb Dume Soresu?
Considering all youngling learns form I, it may be his attacking form.
Form 4 is the form most younglings/ young Jedi's gravitate towards
Obi-Wan uploaded lightsaber lessons from Anakin when he rerigged the beacon in the Jedi Temple, so Anakin's style sort of bled into the Order 66 survivors when they go on the attack
Meh, we’ve seen Obi-wan fight aggressively against maul, so its no suprise that Kanan would act out on emotion like he did
I was a little disturbed when he said that there were far more frightening things then death... I got the chills.
If watching Star Wars has taught me anything, its that if someone starts duel-wielding lightsabers, leave em' alone......🤔......except Asajj Ventress, perhaps; she still got her butt kicked a lot.
And Anakin in Attack of the Clones.
And Barris
And Grievous.
Nah not greivous
don't forget anakin vs that padawan who got ahsoka falsely accused of bombing... he kinda wasn't doing too well until he dropped one...
I used to watch this everyday when it first came out. Incredible to see Grand Inquisitor in live action
I think it's funny that Ezra takes a Soresu but fails miserably at defending himself.
Who’s here after finding out his ghost returns in the comics?
Which one?
Op the comics pls
IT wasent a sith spirit it was the grand incuesiter him self burning un flames that survied and battleled Luke and got scolded by vader (Anikan skywalker )himself that faleded to pertect the yellow lightsaber (Luke secend lightsaber)(if now wan read the comics *spoliers* luke secend lightsaber wasent his green wan it was a yellow wan in the comics tempererly until he billed his infames green lightsaber)and the grand incuesiter was orered to pertect the temple for eternety by vader (anikan skywalker)
Who is here after he was in Kenobi trailer?
When he said there are things far more frightening than death he refered to the fact he had the low ground.
When your co worker would rather quit than be fired.
this reminds me of the phantom menace when the bad guy falls and the good guys win when their comrades fall or get beaten
God damn.
This fight is totally slept on
This fight is very smooth and well designed.
Kanan: Charges with Saber
Grand Inquisitor: Badass Intimidating Pose
Kanan: Blaster shots!
Grand Inquisitor: *WAIT THAT'S ILLEGAL*
And then we never see Ezra's first light saber used anywhere near as effectively ever again.
1:24 I really like this fight but I have never understood this moment. Lightsabers have no weight, he wouldn't be knocked down by one and given how Ezra was standing, he should've had good enough balance.
It wasn't a good block he got grazed and as such it made him lose his balance.
Ezra was just a padiwan, Plus the fear of fighting an inquisitor combined with Ezra using his MASTERS instead of his own caused him to fall, Also this is his 1st real dual where he didn’t just get pushed away or stripped of his lightsaber, on top of this his biggest fear is the grand inquisitor, how can you beat your biggest fear, even so you would make a lot of mistakes.
The whole exchange at 2:20 till 2:28 is pure fangasm. The saber choreography is amazing.
I love Ezra’s lightsaber. It’s a shame that Vader ruined it at the end of the second season. 0:09 to 0:17 shows how cool the lightsaber is. Kanan is so smart, especially for someone who was only an apprentice during Order 66.
3:23 this scene alone is better than all the squeals in star wars.
There are a lot of amazing scenes in the sequels
I kinda feel like these 2 are supposed to be the spiritual successors of dooku and obi wan. You can tell the grand inquisitor uses form 2 due to him alway going back to a one handed stance and he’s quick and fluid movements. As well as how kanan uses he own revises version of form 3 as was said when the 2 first met. While on opposite sides you can tell they do have a level of respect for each other especially when they did the jedi salute before fighting.
Considering Vader traps the Grand Inquisitor’s soul in a Sith Mind Prison to be tortured for all eternity, he wasn’t kidding.
This is exactly like Darth Maul V Qui Gon and Obi Wan
But this is better
2:06 i love this little scene so much
Not really sure why
The salute, how both face and recognize each other before the duel. It was majestic
1:46 Now Caleb use his courage after 15 years of hide
The dude is more scared of vader than death lol
How the fuck did an inquisitor kill ONE Jedi when that’s all it took to destroy their lightsaber 💀
*No one expects the Sith Inquisition!*
*Imperial

Grand Inquisitor is alive.
Those last words of his really had some meaning after that comic
Heh. He exists anyways.
3:27 long live the king
Who else thinks that the Grand Inquisitor let himself fall into the pit to avoid suffering Vader's wrath?
He failed.
ua-cam.com/video/HiYrgJj1l7Y/v-deo.html
It seems like the Inquisitor is actually trying in this fight
He was. After Ezra 'died', Kanan mastered his fear and began to embrace his true potential as a Jedi. He began to fight far better than before, enough that even the Inquisitor was no match for him.
This is me when I play maul in battlefront. I go from playing with my pray than when another one of his team mates come i stop look at them both and I’m like “finally an actually fight” 😂😂😂
It seemed when the Grand Inquisitor was faced with Two People with One Blade each, I admire how he went along with the system of ‘2 on 1’ literally; igniting his full Lightsaber’s Two Blades, and then when against Kanan Only, was it again ‘1 Blade against 1’, then to ‘2 Blades against 2’.
Quite Adaptive, and, of course, an Implied Technique to Follow Through with
such an underated fight
Rebels had some amazing lightsaber battles.
Those were some of the most chilling last words in fiction.
Both the inquisitor and Kanan died by fire
When ezra "dies" in this scene, Kanan saying "i have nothing left to fear" says that he did have a fear of losing ezra, but he never let that fear consume him. Kanan could've easily gone full dark side of the force here and destroyed the inquisitor, but he didn't. He accepted ezra's "fate" and rejected any fear that was left in him, fully embracing the light.
Imagine kanan said that "no, now I have two lightsabers" instead of saying "I have nothing left to fear."( 120th second of the video)
