Let’s see if bringing a new inquisitor (and checking all the woke boxes, since USA and western world are now consumed by it) not seen in Rebels would add any interesting stuff. I suspect a redemption sub narrative, showing Ben that it’s possible for someone using the dark side to go back to the light.
While I agree with you it stinks of “woke”, I’m willing to look past it if the character is done well. I do think your right in your assessment. She’ll be the big hero at the end of it, saving Kenobi or something against Vader. If she’s propped up at the expense of Kenobi, it will be another case of them destroying the legacy characters in favor of propping their own characters up. They did it with Boba and Fennec. Boba was weak and stupid, while the Fennec was the smart and decisive one. I don’t even hate Fennec, but it’s just so obvious in that show.
Another thing I wonder : what else is this series gonna stage? Since all SW shows have been adding side elements to sell the next show…
Isn’t there a rumor going around that Kenobi will be in Andor?
