Why Does the Inquisitor’s Head Deflate? Theory Explained

The prevailing theory is that this Inquisitor is a Skakoan like Wat Tambor (above), so he needs to wear a pressure suit when he’s away from his home world; therefore, when his head was cut off, the pressure escaped, and his head deflated. Combined with his misplaced confidence in his combat abilities leading to his defeat, he was figuratively and literally full of hot air. Ahsoka has to fight an inquisitor when she is turned in by a local. The lesson of this episode of Tales of the Jedi seems to be that nobody is immune to the cruelty of the Empire. The headstrong boy who turns Ahsoka in is nearly killed along with 90 percent of his village, and he cannot fathom why the Inquisitor, and thus the Empire, would treat him so poorly. The boy is expendable, even though he’s loyal to the Emperor, and the Inquisitor is happy to kill him before Ahsoka steps in. He finally realizes by the end of the episode that Imperials hurt people because they can. That’s everything we have on the deflating head in Tales of the Jedi.
