We have to assume Palpatine is already deep into his unholy science experiments by the era of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Supreme Leader Snoke is part of Palpatine's larger plot to tap into ancient Sith secrets and create a perfect, Force-sensitive clone body that can render him immortal. Thanks to The Rise of Skywalker (or, more accurately, the novelization of The Rise of Skywalker), we know Palpatine is able to cheat death aboard the second Death Star and cling to life inside a clone body. The Empire may have need of a constant supply of midichlorian-rich DNA. However, there may be a deeper reason behind these trophies. It may be that these dead Jedi are being kept in stasis solely to keep them around as trophies. If Lucasfilm has any future plans for Master Windu, we doubt it's as a split-second background cameo. But as far as we know, Mace died before the Inquisitorius was formed. You know, if you squint a little and ignore the fact that this character still has a right hand. Twitter user points out another character who could almost be mistaken for Samuel L. He's still got his training helmet on and everything. We also see a Youngling who may or may not be one of those murdered by Anakin Skywalker on Coruscant. The one immediately recognizable face in this corpse crowd is Tera Sinube, a Jedi Master who appears in several episodes of the Clone Wars animated series. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear the series has included any major cameos here. We imagine Star Wars fans will spend a lot of time rewinding the tomb scene and scanning the many pods for glimpses of familiar Jedi characters. The many Jedi he's murdered are simply obstacles along his path to true power. Sentimentality and attachment are what led Anakin Skywalker to lose his family and be burned to a crisp. Vader isn't the type to decorate his castle with reminders of his past. That's the difference between Vader and his Inquisitors. It's a lot easier to make a case for a promotion when you have physical reminders of every Jedi you've tortured and executed. After all, these hardened killers are constantly fighting amongst themselves and trying to curry favor with Lord Vader. Just as General Grievous was infamous for carrying the lightsabers of the Jedi he killed, the Inquisitors probably want visible souvenirs of their accomplishments. Most likely, this "tomb" is meant to be a grisly trophy room. If they're not living bodies kept in suspended animation, then they're at least being preserved for one reason or another (more on that later). On the other hand, these bodies appear to be kept in some sort of stasis field. The fact that Obi-Wan refers to the secret chamber as "a tomb" certainly suggests the latter. But most of the time, a trip to Fortress Inquisitorius is strictly one-way.Įpisode 4 doesn't entirely make it clear whether the Jedi prisoners seen in the depths of Fortress Inquisitorius are living or dead. Sometimes, as with Jedi Fallen Order's Second Sister, that torture is enough to drive Jedi to the Dark Side and create new Inquisitors. They specifically try to bring their targets in alive so they can torture them and press them for information on other Jedi fugitives. The Inquisitors aren't tasked merely with hunting and killing Jedi. The fortress is basically the Star Wars version of the MCU's Raft prison. That's why it's built in the middle of an oceanic moon. But its real purpose is to provide a secure, remote location where the Inquisitors can bring captive Jedi. The fortress serves as a heavily fortified Imperial base, stocked full of Stormtroopers, TIE Fighters and more elite soldiers like the Purge Troopers. Darth Vader has his own fortress on Mustafar, and he clearly wants to keep his Inquisitors close, but not too close to disturb those long Bacta tank baths he's so fond of. The fortress is located on Nur, an oceanic moon orbiting the planet Mustafar. After first being referenced in Marvel's 2017 Darth Vader series, this twisted Imperial facility made its first real appearance in Jedi Fallen Order. First things first - a little background on Fortress Inquisitorius is probably in order.
