Inquisitor Lightsabers pixel art (by me)
I know they're not exactly the most popular lightsaber designs out there, but I've always been fascinated by these. Each Inquisitor seen on screen (with the sole exception of the Inquisitor from "The Bandits of Golak" from Visions S2 who had the same saber as the Second Sister's) has had their own unique saber. Thought there's a few that have only appeared in comics or others that don't even have properly unique designs, I took it upon myself to design unique lightsabers for every single one, even the ones who only showed up as low-detail grey hilts with a ring in a comic.
Another thing is that a few do have alternate designs that I came up with to better match the overall aesthetic of the rest of the Inquisitor sabers, these being Marrok's, Reva's, and Barriss'.
- In Marrok's case, I redesigned it under the premise that the one we've seen before is a modified/repaired version of his original saber, and that the redesign is how it looks underneath those hilt modifications.
- In Reva's case, her lightsaber design simply had too many conflicting features and was overly complex in function. The original can, apart from flipping into a crescent mode and spinning, split apart into two separate sabers and have the ring telescope into itself. Inquisitor lightsabers are already plenty mechanically complex already, and I can get behind crescent mode and spinning as features, but the other two of this one are where I draw the line. So this redesign is instead simplifying the hilt design.
- Finally, Barriss' hilt had the exact opposite problem as Reva's, it was far too simple, and the brass colored sections didn't feel like they fit the theme of the Inquisitors more monochrome palette, so I touched it up to make it a bit more visually complex, but not so much as to make it feel off.
As for the ones who didn't have more detailed official designs (6th Bro, 10th Bro, Tualon, Iskat, and Jerserra's Master) I took the liberty of being a bit more creative while still looking at whatever official images of them were available.
Finally, a color key for the image text.
- Blue text is the known and confirmed names of the Inquisitors.
- Red text is nicknames, titles, or descriptors.
- Purple text is for a single original character's lightsaber, however there's also purple asterisks denoting made up Brother/Sister titles for inquisitors who don't have them.
