YMMV / Children of the Force

Go To

  • Complete Monster:
    • The Grand Inquisitor is head of the Inquisitorius and Darth Sidious's right hand. He leads the Inquisitors in crushing any opposition to the Empire's rule, leaving a trail of death whatever they go. The Grand Inquisitor personally leads a purge on Mandalore to crush the Fifth Uprising, forcing Sabine Wren to develop technology used in massacres. Under his leadership, Inquisitors steal and hunt Force-sensitive children and send them to the Academy on Dromund Kaas where they are tortured until they embrace the Dark Side. After the death of the High Interrogator, the Grand Inquisitor plans to make Ezra the new Interrogator, kidnapping a kind farmer's wife to force him to lure Ezra into a trap. He gives the Seventh Sister the task of breaking Ezra, leading to her sexually abusing the boy and eventually forcing Ezra to kill his friend Dev Morgan. When Sidious wants new Inquisitors in the field as fast as possible, the Grand Inquisitor orders the Headmaster to send all broken kids to him and kill the rest in a week, before ordering all kids killed when the Rebellion comes to rescue them. Working with Grand Admiral Thrawn, Grand Inquisitor plans to attack a rebel base on Yavin IV and wipe the rebellion out and steal freed children back, while giving Viceroy Gar Saxon the idea to provoke another Mandalorian purge.
    • Children of the Force only: The Headmaster is a cruel man in charge of the Inquisitor Academy. Introduced almost shooting a young girl for crying and beating Ezra when the boy protests, the Headmaster drops kids into a jungle on Dromund Kaas, making them either come to the Academy in five hours or die. In the Academy, the Headmaster subjects kids to constant mental and physical torture, having no problem with his staff or Inquisitors taking sexual advantage of children, in order to break them and make them into puppets of the Empire. When Ezra and his friends plan to escape, the Headmaster shoots Dev Morgan in the gut, making Ezra beg for him to Mercy Kill Dev or watch him suffer for days.
    • Every Colour But Red only: Viceroy Gar Saxon is the treacherous Governor of the Mandalore Sector who oppresses his people on the Empire's behalf and lets Inquisitors steal their children. He falsely befriends and manipulates Sabine into going to Sundari Academy, planing to use the girl as a hostage should her clan turn against him. During the Fifth Uprising, Saxon works with the Grand Inquisitor to regain control of Mandalore, uncaring about all the Mandalorians who died in the purge, even introducing Sabine to the Inquisitor and presenting her technology to him. After Sabine joins the Rebellion, Saxon makes her young brother Tristan one of his commandos, threatening to massacre the whole Wren clan if the boy turns on him. When the Mandalorians continue to prove rebellious, Saxon plans to fake a terrorist attack to kill clan heads and call forth a new purge.
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • Ezra going into a meltdown in Chapter 7. After he's discovered he has visions of people killing him, and his lack of shielding leaks his fears to the station, leading to even more visions and fear in a vicious feedback loop and driving him to tap into the Dark Side out of sheer terror. He nearly kills Kanan out of paranoia before Kanan manages to talk him down. If it hadn't been for the bond skewing Kanan's priorities and his ability to feel Kanan's concern defusing him, he'd probably have gone on a full blown rampage.
    • In Chapter 9, Ezra has to walk through a crowd of people and feels their hatred towards them, with some visualizing overwhelming his guard and tearing him limb from limb which Ezra sees a vision of. The rebellion is seriously considering killing a child in a horrific manner out of fear.
    • In Chapter 12 of Every Color But Red, Sabine finds herself in a terrifying Force vision where she tries to speak out against the Mandalorian massacre, only to find smooth skin where her mouth should be. This would be bad enough, but then she tries to claw herself a mouth with her fingernails, digging deeply into the flesh. Doubles as Nausea Fuel.
