Typical Disney XD announcer voice. They don't do baritone movie announcer voices on that channel. Based on most of their commercials it easily could have been a teenage girl.

Very interesting, that Inquisitor. Is that what he'll be known as?

I really hope they're not going to pull a TFU and have the Inquisitor Star Destroyer named after this guy.

Can't they come up with a cool villain that isn't a Sith wannabe?

NYCC: Star Wars Rebels - New Info on the Role of Jedi and More on the Empire
What to expect from the new animated series.
October 12, 2013
by Eric Goldman
Obviously, the big reveal at the Star Wars Rebels panel today at New York Comic Con was the main villain – The Inquisitor. But that wasn’t all that was discussed at the big panel for the upcoming animated series.
While still needing to keep many secrets – including the specifics on the main characters – Lucasfilm’s Pablo Hildago discussed many aspects of the show, beginning with its primary setting, a planet called Lothal. Hildago noted that Rebels is specifically set 14 years after Episode III (that’s five years before Episode IV) and that the Empire has, in many ways, been a welcome change for the galaxy – at least systems close to Coruscant, where it’s provided “security and stability, no matter the cost” to those who seek it and that there is a “fervent patriotism” among many in those central systems.
But the Empire wants to grow, “it wants more territory,” noted Hildago and “It does this by pushing out into outer rim.” One such planet is Lothal, which has been settled for a long time, but beyond the Republic and Empire’s domain. It’s a “Frontier world. Poor, or at least not exploiting the resources it does have."
Initially, the planet’s population is excited about the Empire’s arrival, but as time goes in, it becomes clear to some that, “The Empire doesn’t have Lothal’s best interest in mind. That allows people with rebellious thoughts to emerge.” Including among our main characters, the crew of the starship called Ghost.
We’ll have to wait to learn about those folks though, as the main focus of the panel was on the show’s villains – the Galactic Empire.
Hildago noted, “We can finally settle the debate between what is the difference between a Clone Trooper and a Stormtrooper,” saying that they were specifically culling from George Lucas’ ideas and that while he wasn’t directly involved in Rebels, they were using many things he’d said about this era. “Clone Troopers basically stopped production” after the Clone Wars ended, said Hildago. With Stormtroopers, “They’re citizens that volunteered.” Hildago noted that in Lucas’ mind, interestingly, “The lab grown Cone Troopers had too much individuality,” ultimately, and the Emperor decided, “You can find better loyalty from fervent patriots who volunteered.”
Rebels' AT-DP, based on an early Joe Johnston design for the Scout Walker.
As has been mentioned previously, Star Wars Rebels is based heavily on Ralph McQuarrie’s classic work on the original Star Wars trilogy – both designs that made it into the films and some that didn’t. Another integral part of the original trilogy whose designs are being used are Joe Johnston, including for the AT-DP -- All Terrain Defense Pod -- based on an early Johnston image while designing the Scout Walker. Another example is one of Johnston’s early speeder bike designs that is being used on the show.

Who else would they send after Jedi?

I had hoped Star Wars would return with the new films, this seems to be a bit of jumping the gun. Still, there's a lot to look forward to here.
I imagine "Rebels" will look a lot like what Dark Horse is doing with "The Star Wars". I look forward to the return of the used universe look.
The period between III and IV is far more interesting than anything before the beginning of III. ROTS ended exactly where I had wanted to see them START telling the PT - the fight between Obi Wan and the Rise of Vader. Everything leading up to that was noise.
I want to see Vader as a warlord. One thing this series could do - please - is make Darth Vader a baddass again. I don't even want to hear the name Anakin.

That 20 year gap is a very interesting gap to fill, the bad guys hunting the remaining jedi down, luke as a kid, and Obi wan as a Nomad.

I have a feeling this will feel more like real Star Wars than anything we've seen since ROTJ.
BONUS - George isn't writing it!

How about Darth Vader? Especially considering that's who we've always been told hunted down the remaining Jedi.
My reaction was much the same as blue_rogue -
another sith character. They've become a bit too common at this point.Having said that, maybe it'll be alright. Since its set in the Empire era I might actually give this one a look.

Were we told he personally hunted down and killed all the remaining Jedi?
I don't think so. I'm guessing that's the very thing these guys are taking advantage of in writing in this new character. We'll see how it goes, maybe we'll still see Vader himself in action against Jedi - he just can't do it all on his own when there's Imperial duties to attend to aswell or something.

I don't mind if Vader has help during this time. It's well over a decade after the purge, so maybe he just has a guy who finds leads for him and tie up any loose ends.
I'm interested in hearing more about him.
