Star Wars: The Acolyte
As Carrie-Anne Moss steps into the shoes of Indara, she spoke to Empire Magazine regarding her role in The Acolyte:
“I felt that a few times in my career with some of the big things I’ve done – Memento, The Matrix – where you’re talking to the filmmaker and you just go, ‘Oh, they totally get it. 'Within my soul and my spirit, to get to play this Jedi Master and train for the fight was [an] amazing experience.'
Moss continued:
"A part of me forgot how much I love action. I love it. It’s hard. But I was just really thrilled that I could do it, and I wanted to do it well. ‘Gimme another take! Gimme another take!”
Has Jedi Indara appeared in Star Wars before?
Jedi Indara's character is created exclusively for Star Wars: The Acolyte and is yet to find her place in the Star Wars canon. However, that is the same case for most characters appearing on the television show.
The events in The Acolyte have been set a hundred years before the occurrence of The Phantom Menace. Fans of the Star Wars universe can expect special appearances by Jedi who are a part of the Order during the era, which could include Master Yoda.
The creators have not revealed much about Jedi Indara's role in the show. However, the character is said to possess great physical and mental skills. The trailer for The Acolyte showcases the Jedi Indara fighting in hand-to-hand combat with Mae, played by Amandla Stenberg.
