Haven’t watched it but it sounds like standard Disney. Market a show only to have it be about a different character than the one on the title screen. The EU book Kenobi by John Jackson Miller is a great book that covers that time period.
So in Legends pretty much no one knew who Vader actually was outside of Yoda, Kenobi and the Emperor. Tarkin and Thrawn both figured it out on their own.
Even in the new Disney timeline Vader's true identity is supposed to be known to very few people. Once again the Emperor, Tarkin and Thrawn with the last 2 figuring it out. Vader has been known in the new canon to kill people for specifically figuring it or even seeing his face.
But the new canon now is already so bloated and confusing that they're already contradicting themselves and it is only going to get worse with everything being full canon.
To answer u/Mpetey123 some of them did know who Vader really was.
Malorum [later the first Grand Inquisitor] initially worked as an Imperial Intelligence operative, and along with Director Armand Isard, visited the Jedi Temple in the aftermath of Order 66. There, he saw a hologram of Emperor Palpatine addressing Anakin Skywalker as Lord Vader. Thus, Malorum was one of a few in the Empire—along with Prince Xizor, two decades later—who knew Vader's true identity, although Vader and Palpatine were unaware of this fact.
Following the incident, Malorum was plucked out of obscurity by Palpatine, who revealed that he was a Sith and placed Malorum in charge of the Inquisitorius
The Inquisitors existed in the EU. They were actually mentioned in the radio drama which was fully approved by George Lucas which would make them top level canon at the time.

I did hear Az and Jayne Theory rip it apart.

In the 2017 Vader comic he kills every Stormtrooper on a dropship after the Jedi they are trying to catch reveals Vader's identity to them.
The inquisitors didn't exist until disney.

there were definitely inquisitors in the old eu, vader can't be everywhere at once.
Nope. They were introduced by Disney.
The closest thing were the emperors hands. And I don't think most, if any, of them would have known.

Not that I ever read but I keep finding more EU that I never read so that’s great.
