STAR WARS: AHSOKA Fans Speculate That the Mysterious Inquisitor Could Be Starkiller from THE FORCE UNLEASHED
When the credits rolled at the end of Star Wars: Ahsoka, a familiar name popped up as a voice credit. That name is Sam Witwer, the voice of Darth Maul and Galen Marek, aka Starkiller from the The Force Unleashed video games.
Well, this got fans speculating that the mysterious Inquisitor Marrok, who we see in action in the first two episodes, might be Starkiller. Some fans believe that Witwer will be voicing the character. Starkiller was Darth Vader's secret apprentice in those games, which are considered to be part of the Legends continuity, but that’s not going to stop Dave Filoni, who’s already introducing characters from the Legends continuity into his projects.
There’s also another rumor going around that Ezra is the man behind the Inquisitor mask, but out of the two fan theories, I think Starkiller is the more likely option, even though it’s probably not going to play out that way. I just think it’s fun to discuss these things!
Here’s what some people are saying on X:
As of right now Marrok's only identifying credit is that he's physically portrayed by Paul Darnell, who’s a stunt performer who has also appeared in projects such as The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. It's kind of hard to tell if Witwer is voicing the character, as the mysterious Inquisitor has yet to say a word.
I should also note that Witwer often provides additional voices in Star Wars in these projects, so as of right now, there's still nothing solid tying him to Marrok, but it’s something fun to think about and discuss!
As for what I think… I think Marrok is Marrok. I don’t think he’s going to end up being anyone we’re already familiar with.
The official description describes Marrok as an Inquisitor who hunted down and killed Jedi for the Empire. It’s explained that Marrok “now works as a mercenary hired by Morgan Elsbeth to carry out dark deeds. Fully encased in battered battle armor, the warrior still carries a red double-bladed saber with a circular hilt.”
What are your thoughts on all the rumors about Marrok?
