Looks like husband and wife will get to spend time together at work as well as at home. Mrs. Freddy Prinze Jr. has joined the cast of Rebels as.....well....we don't know as who just yet.
My theory? She's the Inquisitor's replacement as the antagonist. Yes we saw Darth Vader exit the shuttle at the end, and yes we heard Tarkin tell Agent Kallus about the Emperor providing an "alternate solution". I think that alternate solution is her, not Vader.
1. I highly doubt that Emperor Palpatine has just one inquisitor to handle force related affairs. There are likely other Inquisitors spread across the Empire.
2. In the episode before the finale, our heroes found out that Kanan was being held aboard Tarkin's Star Destroyer, which was heading to Mustafar. Hera mentions Kanan telling her "This is where Jedi go to die".
3. Just before plummeting to his death, the Inquisitor tells Kanan "There are some things far more frightening than death".
4. As mentioned in an earlier post here on our blog, how lame would it be if it was the Rebels foiling the evil Darth Vader every week in cookie cutter cartoon fashion? It would be an insult not only to the fans, but to credibility of the the production staff, the actors, and the franchise itself.
Here goes:
While Darth Vader was on Mustafar, it was not him they were meeting. I think the Emperor has a secret detention center on Mustafar reserved for Jedi and other force sensitive beings. Call it the Galactic equivalent of a super secret black-site prison. This is where I believe they were taking Kanan.
Who is running that prison? Darth Vader might be the head honcho, but he's got to have a 2nd in command. It's obvious that the Inquisitor was not that person.
I believe it was (whoever Sarah Michelle Gellar will voice) waiting for them on Mustafar, with Vader there to observe & report back to the Emperor. Why am I intent on believing she is a villain? Well that's simple.....balance.
We've now been introduced to the reality that the Rebels are all part of a much larger organization divided up into cells, and that former Jedi Ahsoka Tano is one of the leaders of this organization.
The good guys are now a bit heavy with the character list, so we need to bolster up the Imperial side. Vader? Check! Tarkin? Check! Now it's time to introduce the 3rd member to complete the trifecta. She'll be the new baddie they square off against, and judging by the Inquisitor's statement, she's gonna make the Rebels wish they were dead.
....at least that's my theory anyway.
Chime in here and let us know what you think!
