![]() “Patterns of Force” is the richest exploration of Inquisitors, with Probus Tesla being a primary antagonist to Jax Pavan and company, and more importantly, with Kajin Savaros’ arc providing an example of how the Empire recruits Inquisitors.Īlmost out of nowhere, Kaj (perhaps an inspiration for “Rebels’ ” Ezra, with Jax being the answer to Kanan, and Laranth the answer to Hera) pops up as a young Force user in the bowels of Coruscant. ![]() ![]() These dark-side adepts who work for Palpatine and Vader were first mentioned in Brian Daley’s “Star Wars” radio drama (1981), but they didn’t make an appearance until the “Young Jedi Knights” books in the 1990s. Inquisitors, before they went mainstream in Seasons 1 and 2 of “Rebels,” had a long but mostly understated history in the Expanded Universe. It’s definitely pulpy (mostly in a good way) and it gets bizarrely untethered at times, but Reaves provides lots of juicy writing about core “Star Wars” concepts in a book that is perhaps used as source material for Disney’s “Rebels” more than any other. ![]() Following two solid lead-ins, “Patterns of Force” (2009) is a satisfying final chapter in Michael Reaves’ “Coruscant Nights” trilogy. ![]()
