Even though they serve the imposing and powerful Darth Vader directly, fans have wondered since the Inquisitorious was introduced if the Imperial agents had the ability to take down their superior. While we have seen the Dark Lord battle Inquisitors before, killing two of them handily in the “Darth Vader” comic series by Charles Soule, folks remain curious. For instance, Redditor u/GaryKing1413 has asked if a battle were to occur between Vader and all of the Inquisitors, who would win? Most seem to agree that the victory goes to Vader, and it’s not close.

“I have a strong feeling Vader would come out of that fight, even if it was a fair 7 on 1,” commented u/NERF_HERDING, citing Vader’s stronger connection to the dark side and his status as the Chosen One as key factors in him securing an easy win. Other Redditors pointed out the fact that, at the end of the day, the Inquisitors simply aren’t strong enough to stand a chance. As mentioned before, Palpatine selected them because they didn’t present a real threat to his rule. In essence, the hypothetical fight was over before it began.

The Inquisitors served their purpose to some extent, revealing and taking out hidden Jedi, but at the end of the day, none of them could escape the shadow of Darth Vader or his master, Emperor Palpatine.
