For months, actor Jason Isaacs has been rumored to be involved in the upcoming ‘Star Wars: Rebels.’ Today Isaacs (known for his work in ‘Awake,’ ‘The Patriot,’ and the ‘Harry Potter’ series) was finally confirmed to be voicing The Inquisitor in the upcoming series. The Inquisitor will be the main antagonist for our heroes, as he does the Emperor’s bidding. Lucasfilm released an informative video that gives us our first real look at The Inquisitor via the official ‘Star Wars’ Youtube page. The Inquisitor, the video revealed, isn’t a Sith Lord like Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. Nevertheless he draws on the Dark Side of the Force, wields a red lightsaber, and hunts down the last remaining Jedi. Check out the full video below for more details.
