Who was the Grand Inquisitor?

The Grand Inquisitor was a Pau’an and the highest-ranking member of the Inquisitorius, the Empire’s Jedi-hunting order, answering directly to Darth Vader. He debuted in the animated series Star Wars Rebels in 2014 and returned in live action in Obi-Wan Kenobi, played by Rupert Friend.

The spinning Inquisitor hilt

The design is properly called the double-bladed spinning lightsaber, and it was issued across the Inquisitorius rather than being personal to him — which is why Inquisitor hilts look so alike from one character to the next. A circular disc sits mid-hilt; the blade emitters travel along tracks in that disc while the grip stays still, so the blades can be whirled around the wielder. It could also be run as a single blade.

Grand Inquisitor lightsaber FAQ

Can it be used as a single blade?

Yes. It runs as a double-ender or with one blade fitted — which is how the Inquisitors used theirs on screen.

How are the two blades controlled?

From one button. Ignition, fonts and effects for both blades are set from that single control; there is no separate button per blade.

What comes in the box?

The hilt, two blades, a charging cable, a stand, screws and a hex key.

Can I change the blade colour?

Yes. Colour and effects are configured on the soundboard, not fixed to the hilt. The character tie is the preloaded sound font.
