What in the name of Ashla is that?

It's the General Grievous spinning saber.

There are some similarities between the Son and the Inquisitor, but the Son was killed.

His death can be interpreted as ambiguous based solely on that episode, but if you read FotJ, he's definitely dead; and despite the messed-up timespace relationship between Mortis and the rest of the universe, they seem to be on the same overall timeline order-of-events-wise (otherwise there would have been no issue with Abeloth's Legacy era escape, or really with any of the Mother stuff in general).

Additionally, the Son has no experience with a lightsabre, and he wouldn't have to use one anyway.

On a somewhat unrelated note, the Inquisitor looks to be Pau'an, which is nice.

I think the Son from the Mortis arc has taken form in our universe [plane of existence] as the Inquisitor. See the Mortis arc was pure mythology -- a personification of concepts. The Father was clearly God and his children were the dichotemy aspects of the universe -- Good and Evil.  Even though the children both died in the arc and the Father was killed the whole story was about the test of Anakin Skywalker which he failed -- by choosing the Dark Side. When the Son asked Anakin to join him he did. Then in this plane of existence Vader is on the same side as the Inquisitor. I think they look too much alike just to be cooincidental.

That would be a possibility if FotJ didn't exist. The Ones (aside from Abeloth) were very clearly dead after TCW, and that fact had a significant effect outside of Mortis (city-melting significant). That also wouldn't explain my other point. The Son wouldn't bother with a weapon, or the Empire, for that matter. Even when he had a goal, he didn't have to resort to mortal methods (especially not serving under others).

Also (and I'm not just saying this to avoid the "no religion" rule), the Father represents balance/order, Abeloth represents chaos, and the Son and Daughter are manifestations of the Dark and Light Sides, respectively.

Obviously the precise wording is a bit sketchy for the Father and the Mother, and the latter is relatively transient, but the roles are obvious. However, the roles of the Son and Daughter as listed are canon.

Additionally, if you want to take the Mortis arc as a metaphorical test, disregarding its "real"-world impact, Anakin passed the test. That was kind of the point of the arc, just in a more literal sense.

I love Star Wars and spend a good deal of time on an RP based off it but I don't spend a good deal of time researching foreign language forms for informationon SW. I assume I'm not alone.  We all love SW, but Russia just sent their army uninvited into another country, if I'm going to search German language boards for something it will most likely be that.

I just saw this, sorry.

All you had to do was Google "the clone wars season 6" before all the new information (and the season itself) came to light. If it were buried in German imageboards or something, I would have never been motivated enough to find it.

So you want an Star Warsy sounding name for a character, where to start?  I have a fun one...names of actual stars.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proper_names_of_stars_in_alphabetical_order

Add a SW spelled first name...Steve:Stiev or Steev...and add a random star name...example...Tarazed or Zedaron...Steev Tarazed or Stiev Zedaron.

Good reply. However, I'm at a loss -- I don't know what FOTJ is. Or who Abeloth is. Is that TCW episodes? I'm in the middle of Season 4.

As for a couple points you raise:

1- The Son didn't need weapons in Mortis. What's not to say they wouldn't need weapons inthe actual plane of existence outside Mortis?

2- Anakin chose to join the Son before the Father intervened. I don't know how you can claim he "passed the test" because he clearly didn't. The Father saved Anakin and erased the visions the Son showed him.

Lastly, it seems I'm disadvantaged in that I haven't seen some of what you refer to. However, aside from that, how do you explain why the Son and the Inquisitor look so closely alike? Just curious but it seems either NOT a coincidence or done purposefully. I refuse to believe the makers of Revelas are that lazy that they would rip-off the loook for no inherent reason.

The Inquisitor has been stated to be a Pau'an.  Perhaps he is deliberately modeled on the Son, to echo Vader's earlier experiences dealing with the Son - Vader's subconscious playing on him.

At this point, this seems to be rather heated speculation, with a person who is going to be away for some time.  More will be revealed as Rebels continues its run, and we will have our answers there.

A few random thoughts of my own:

Those of you who have watched TCW and have seen S3 doesn't the new Sith Inquisitor from Rebels resemble the Son of Mortis?

[clipped]

Is this a direct reference to the Mortis arc in S3??? Anakin by falling to the Dark Side released the son of Mortis who took on the form of the Sith Inquisitor who aids Vader in conquering the galaxy. Could this Inquisitor/Son of Mortis archetype of evil be the main villain in the Sequel Trilogy? There was a rumor that a character introduced in Rebels would have an impact on the ST . . . .

Welcoming the council's thoughts on this.

I actually mentioned this before that they're using a very similar design as Rebels seems to be an amalgamation of other sources that they've already presented.

I'd highly recommend it. I wasn't a fan and quickly came around on it with a re-watch. Wait until you get to S3 . . . .

The ring on the lightsaber is just a design thing. Perhaps it has a use, we'll see. I think it looks cool.

The ring is just a cross-hilt that allows his sabers to stay connected. I say sabers, because while it is similar to a double-bladed hilt, it's really two sabers, connected at the center that CAN separate and still function.

The craftsmanship is quite good, always appreciate seeing this one pop up!

Something that most normal people seem to skip over.
