I mean it's a 98%.

Vader eliminated them as a excuse to keeping him important to the Emperor.

Canon? On an overall scale? Terrible, barring I guess what...2? From what I hear about Fallen Order media, sure I guess there's some credit for them, but elsewhere I haven't seen them being good at their jobs. Their accolades as basically being "Hunting Dogs" doesn't exactly paint them in a great light either. I mean, a group of them got wrecked and one of them died by basically fresh out of the tube Clone Troopers who hadn't really seen combat....and it's not like they were taken by surprise either.

@UxasFiregod12 I would argue that Grand Inquisitor died more stupidly than the rest of them.

As a whole. Yes. Considering the majority of the people alive during the trilogy including both sides of the Galactic Civil War believe the Jedi and the idea of the force to be extinct/a myth.

Individually and even when deployed in groups sometimes. They were gods awful. Easily bested by non-force users and half trained padawans. And their Sith teachings hampered more than helped their performance. For as many Jedi they killed or turned. More still escaped into the aether.

In short. Yes effective for what they were created for. But when the almighty plot demands it. They suck. And or are forced into an redemption arc because no one (except Papa Palpatine) is completely evil. Even though are favorite asthmatic sith lord straight up unalived a room full of children and tortured and maimed probably hundreds along with killing a city by force smashing a dam to kill a Jedi Master he couldn't kill in a straight up fight. He wasn't completely evil. *wink, wink*

I love you Vader! Please don't choke m.... *choking noices intensifies*

along with killing a city by force smashing a dam to kill a Jedi Master he couldn't kill in a straight up fight.

Wait- when did that happen? /genq

If I remember. One of the first new Vader comics.

Vader was tasked to more or less immediately hunt down Order 66 survivors after RotS.

Vader had yet to really get used to his new cyborg body and wasn't really able to hold his own against a Jedi Master that had survived and was hiding on some planet. And during a fight on a dam Vader realized he had to do things differently than what Anikan would have done. And then preceded to break the dam so the Jedi would be forced to use the force to protect the city that would've been flooded by this. Giving Vader the chance to deliver the killing blow. Pretty much is the start of Vaders journey to distance himself from who he was and start to go all into the Vader persona.

There's a theory which I love. That says that Vader has split personality disorder. It was the only way for Anikan to handle all the pain he went through and all the horrific things he did. It really does make Vader a tragic character. He's a monster. But you understand how he became this way. And why his own son would rather die than accept that his mass murdering father couldn't be redeemed.

I believe if you go to the Darth Vader page here, it will give you better info and which comics this is from. The Vader series is amazing by the way. I highly recommend. The theory part, I can't remember where I found it.

I agree with others in this thread.

If we're going by what is shown on screen (at least Rebels and Kenobi), then they don't seem very competent (except for a few, namely the Grand Inquisitor and the Seventh Sister in Rebels).

But, given that the prosecution of Force sensitive people was a serious thing, they were apparently enough of a threat. On the other hand, there were also other parties who participated in this hunting, so, I suppose credit for that shouldn't go only to the Inquisitors

In fact Vader was so paranoid of being replaced that when orders were given to capture Jocasta he violated the most important one.(Spoiler)

Sidious was very afraid of the information held by Jocasta she had knowledge about the Sith and Jedi.

The Jedi had all the locations of Force sensitive children.

Jocasta found out that he was Anakin and told him that Sidious can replace him anytime and Vader killed her.(Spoiler)

The noteworthy thing is that he got the holocrons for Sidious but Vader destroyed the information on the children.

This begs the question was he doing this out of fear of being replaced or a guilty conscience of killing children.(spoiler)

I think it was the former, since he had no problem killing a roomful of children.
