This of the Inquisitors as not as powerful as Jedi Knights and poorly trained. The Grand Inquisitor was the exception.

But none of them were anywhere near the level of Vader and Palpatine.
Right, and the other thing as well was that the power of the Jedi was clearly waning.

Outside of Obi-Wan and Yoda, most of the real Jedi threats were either only half-trained or just not that powerful to be a threat, so an Inquisitor vs. 'Jedi Cousin Eddy' was either a fair fight or the Inquisitor had the advantage.

Anyhow, Evil Space Wizards vs. Good Space Wizards isnt super intriguing to me.

The rest of the Galaxy, from all sides of the conflict, should just have sat down in a room on a temporary cease fire and just discussed this rationally.

"Look, guys, we have to acknowledge the 'Space Wizard Dilemma.' Regardless of which side of the line you're on I think we just have to accept that these clowns have caused just an astronomical amount of Galactic damage relative to the number of them that exists.

I think we should agree to murder all of the Space Wizards. Light and Dark and whichever in between those bastards, and then we can resume our Inter-Galactic conflict on the basis of an essential and fundamental and moral difference of opinion on Galactic management on a 'Policy-Only' Basis?

Can we agree on that? We murder all the Space Wizards? We'll start with those meddling Skywalkers? Cool. Then we can get back to the business of killing each other over what amounts to essentially very minor philosophical differences.

Thank you all for your time."
