      Lets also not forget the massive brainwashing they recieved to make the fanaticly loyal to the emperor and only the emperor. So while Inquisitors might be willing to bargain if pushed into a corner or can maybe even turned against each other with the promise that only the successfull one of the group gets Palpatines favor, the Shadow Guard won't fall for such things. They will fullfill their order no matter what. And if the order would be to kill themselves, they would do so - without doubt or hesitation.

I am just saying that the spinning would work against padawans and average Jedi because of the intimidation factor. Masters and skilled fighters like Ahsoka Tano and Darth Maul can overwhelm the inquisitors with skill alone, while Jedi who have experience fighting them like Kanen Jarrus and Cal Kestis eventually learned how to beat them.

    I would rather not want to fight an Imperial Shadow Guard. Just for the fact that they wielded deadly lightsaber pikes, had limited force abilities, they could cloak, and could call in shadow troopers. Plus, their outfit had a nice intimidation factor. Mix that with their penchant for silence, and you got yourself a deadly assassin/jedi hunter.

      True.
      Perhaps the Inquisitors should have been like the Jedi during the Clone Wars.
      They should have been the Generals and Commanders of the Imperial Army. Purge Troopers would have been their personal troops, like how Rex was always with Anakin, even though the 501st was rather large and always assisting other Jedi.
      They were more Force Sensitive than the Shadow Guard, and so they could have used training like how Vader was training them, but more efficiently this time, and learn from each other.
      Shadow Guards were better Jedi Hunters and do a better job on hunting them by themselves. So they were more fit for special operations, and with Shadow Troopers at their disposal, that makes them a smaller elite squad version of the Inquisitors with their Purge Troopers.
      If I was force sensitive in Palpatine’s Imperial Forces, I’d push for such an agenda to have the 2 groups and their foot soldiers be used for greatly different purposes.

    I've never really been a fan of how they both basically have the same job: hunting and killing Jedi.
    If it were up to me, the Inquisitors would be the ones who hunt and kill Jedi. And the Shadow Guard would be a branch of Palpatine's personal bodyguards who specifically specialize in protecting the Emperor from Force-users. Not necessarily against Jedi, but potentially against Inquisitors, or Vader, if any of them wanted to usurp the throne. And unlike Inquisitors, actually would rely on more defensive rather than offensive tactics.

He did the same thing with the ISB and Imperial intelligence. Same job done by two groups so that they keep each other in check.

    I would say Shadow guard is the most dangerous. While more predictable in some ways, in many ways, predictable but incredibly effective combined arms warfare is far more lethal that a band of in fighting misfits. At the very least you can expect the shadow guard always perform their job well, and do it the best of their ability. The same can not be said of the Inquisitors. While having the same benefits of their position and occupation, and having the resources of the Empire behind them, the Shadow guard would make far better use of the resources allocated to the Inquisitors, and develop an efficient plan, that would not emphasize personal glory. An in that point is what I think is most important, between the two groups. The Inquisitors would destroy themselves purposely or unconsciously through their Battle planning and their scheming against one another, long before the Jedi who escapes Order 66 ever would. The Shadow Guard would not face such problems. Note: This is just my opinion, what do you guys think?

I think it would come down to who has the better armor and lightsaber techniques and the inquisitors seem a little lacking in both departments, and to be honest their fighting style seems flashy but impractical

I think they fit the Sith's plans much better than the Inquisitors. While the Inquisitors are independent and powerful, the Shadow Guards are much more suited as enforcers and assassins. They're basically an order of weaker Vaders who can be sent to clean up things that the Sith aren't willing to bother with. They're also far more mysterious, and such are much more likely to survive after the Empire's fall in episode 6.

    Personally I think the shadowguard would handle Jedi much MUCH more effectively than the Inquisitors. The shadow guards were able to hold their weight up against not just any force user but STARKILLER, apprentice of Darth Vader. STARKILLER was already a dark side user so that makes his abilities much more lethal than a jedi's by default but to top that off we all know what he was capable of. Whereas with the Inquisitors, they were already at a disadvantage being former Jedi and not even powerful ones at that (except for the grand Inquisitor) and with that said, theyre lack of standardized methods make them really unorthodox at times and that tends to put them in bad situations.

    Hi Allen, I think this is an uneven comparison because you are comparing canon Inquisitorius and Legends Shadow Guards. Frankly, I like the legends Inquisitorius more than their canon counterpart and I'd say that they'd be more powerful than the Shadow Guards.
    But for the sake of argument and going along with your comparison, I think the Shadow Guards are superior to canon Inquisitors. You've mentioned that the Shadow Guards would be very similar or standardized with one another, it is possible but there are always prodigies in any organization, take for example Kir Kanos and Carnor Jax or the clone troopers themselves that were clones, received the same training and you have, Rex, Cody, Fordo etc etc.

This would allow them to operate without pulling everyday imperial forces from their regular duties unless it is really needed; and let's them operate for longer if you give them a decent ship with maybe some Starfighter deployability to operate for longer periods.

    Perhaps the Inquisitors should have been like the Jedi during the Clone Wars.
    They should have been the Generals and Commanders of the Imperial Army. Purge Troopers would have been their personal troops, like how Rex was always with Anakin, even though the 501st was rather large and always assisting other Jedi.
    They were more Force Sensitive than the Shadow Guard, and so they could have used training like how Vader was training them, but more efficiently this time, and learn from each other.
    Shadow Guards were better Jedi Hunters and do a better job on hunting them by themselves. So they were more fit for special operations, and with Shadow Troopers at their disposal, that makes them a smaller elite squad version of the Inquisitors with their Purge Troopers.
    If I was force sensitive in Palpatine’s Imperial Forces, I’d push for such an agenda to have the 2 groups and their foot soldiers be used for greatly different purposes.
    So the Inquisitors would be general purpose like the Jedi were during the Clone Wars, with Purge Troopers being their personal Clone Units around 20 or 30 strong like we saw in that Vader Comic.
    Meanwhile,Shadow Guard would be for hunting Jedi specifically, and would ave ShadowTroopers at their disposal as well, tho they wouldn’t always be together, more like have them on stand by unless the Shadow Guard needed help. (and taking care of the emperor in places were Jedi often were)

    Double bladed spinning lightsaber. The single stupidest weapon in star wars. I'm pretty sure even I could easily defeat someone who was using such a terrible weapon. Just wait for them to cut their own limbs off.

    Shadow guards by a mile, in old canon thau litary stood a chance against galen marek (my fave old canon character, fuck i wish disney would bring a verson of him back in new canon) a fucking op force user (with terrible lightsaber skills tho) and not only that thay can do it by themself instead of needing a group like the inquisitors, also in comic the inquisitors were proven to be very incompetent to say the least

      I also have a video idea:
      Would the outcome of the Clone War change if the neutral Mandalorians had actually chosen a side early on? Can you please do a what if video? One for if they joined the CIS and one if they joined the GAR.

    Ugh I hate those fidget-spinner lightsabers. Like... did I seriously just see someone use a lightsaber to bust a roflcopter?

    I don't have to watch the video to know who was better a hunting Jedi... Mandalorians (Expanded Unverse/real ones. not the Disney ones)… good a hunting Sith too
    maybe I'm just a little biased...

    I still remember running into that room and all you see is the black glove that force pushes you across the room then the guard activates his lightsaber 😩 so badass

    Basically what he said was that if the Shadow Guards were the ones going after Kanan and Ezra then the rebels series would be over within 1 episode

    This is a contradiction as Vader trained the inquisitors badly on purpose so they would never overthrow the Emperor or himself
