1 Dark Way The Inquisitors Used Dead Jedi Bodies In Star Wars
Warning! SPOILERS for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 4.
There is one dark way that the Inquisitors have used dead Jedi bodies in Star Wars before Obi-Wan Kenobi's fourth episode. Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 4 saw Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) take on a daring rescue mission to save young Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) from Reva's (Moses Ingram) wrath in the near-impenetrable Fortress Inquisitorius. Aided by resistance operative Tala (Indira Varma), Obi-Wan manages to find Leia and escape off-world. In the process, he makes a disturbing discovery concerning the Inquisitors' and the Empire's practices after the events of Order 66.
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith culminates in the slaughtering of the Jedi in the name of Order 66, and the job of the Inquisitors is to hunt down any Jedi that remain hidden in the galaxy. Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 4, however, gave audiences a horrific glimpse at what happens to those Jedi who are captured and killed, in a tense yet emotional scene where Obi-Wan finds rows of dead Jedi that are being preserved. Though the reasoning behind the Empire keeping these Jedi corpses is never fully explained, the links to both Grogu's story in The Mandalorian and Palpatine's story in Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker are clear. However, the preservation and use of a dead Jedi's body by the Empire hasn't only been featured in Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Grand Inquisitor has been involved in a similar plotline in the animated series Star Wars Rebels.
