New trailer:
I still don't like the idea of previously unheard of Inquisitors doing the dirty work Vader should be doing, either. I hope Ezra gets killed eventually.
Rebels takes place 14 years after ROTS so the inquisitors are just taking out the last remnants of the Jedi Order.
I always pictured the phrase "...helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights" as being much more what we have/are-going-to-see in Rebels, than with the Order-66 nonsense. The last Jedi being slowly eradicated, one by one across the Galaxy with the help of Vader.
So I don't have any problem (Or see any OT contradiction) with their being a number of surviving Jedi prior to ANH, or with their being Inquistors tasked with finding them.
I also liked that in Rebels the Jedi are talked about in a way that suggests they are older history, rather than recent memory. Rebels doesn't directly contradict the ludicrously small gap between the Jedis-galore!-PT-era and 2-Jedis-left-OT-era but it doesn't confirm it either (Probably that wasn't by design, just happy accident).
