Since debuting in Star Wars content following Order 66, there remains a lot of mystery surrounding the Inquisitors who report to Darth Vader in the Star Wars Universe. Where there is information and a good amount of stories of these dark force users, not all of it is canon since Disney purchased LucasFilms from George Lucas. 

In episode 14, Adam and Steve discuss the Inquisitors and their role in the Empire as well as do they encroach on the "Rule of Two" that the Sith have followed for centuries. Should the Inquisitors be considered Sith in anyway or are they Sith Assassins like Asajj Ventress in the Clone Wars series and Dark Disciple book, both of which are considered canon (unless Disney retcons the death of Asajj as she is to appear in the Bad Batch series).

What do you think about the Inquisitors? Let us know, drop a comment!
