The Book of Boba Fett, which each followed characters that either didn't appear in the trilogies or has minimal roles, Obi-Wan Kenobi centers on a beloved Jedi Master that fans know plenty about.
Despite the wealth of content surrounding Obi-Wan (who is portrayed by Ewan McGregor in both the Inquisitors. They are Sith tasked by Darth Vader to hunt down the remaining Jedi survivors of Order 66, and Reva (played by Moses Ingram) is one of the most prominent in the new series.
Screen Rant spoke to Ingram about what makes the Dark Side so fun, how she herself stepped into Star Wars fandom, and and which moment from the franchise had the greatest impact on her.
Screen Rant: What does it mean to you not only to be in Star Wars, but to be an Inquisitor?
Moses Ingram: It's really hard to wrap my brain around. I've known for a long time that I was in Star Wars, but I think the idea that it's about to belong to the fans makes it so much more like, "Oh my God. We made a Star Wars film and people are about to see it!"
But to be in it and be an Inquisitor is doubly fun, because sometimes it's just fun to peel back the layers and be a little menacing.
I feel like one of the staples of being a lightsaber-wielder is that you can't help but make the noises with your mouth. Did you run into that on set?
Moses Ingram: Ewan was saying earlier that, even if you're not making the sounds out loud, you're definitely making them in your head. And so, yeah, I certainly was in my head with the sound.
You have to, especially in The Volume.
Moses Ingram: I mean, come on. Sick. Very sick technology.
There's so much great supplemental material that has come out since the prequel area era. I'm curious if you have a favorite book, comic, episode of something, or even Star Wars moment that you feel informed or enhanced your performance?
Moses Ingram: Probably that last battle between Obi-Wan and Vader. The last time that we saw them together. The thing about their relationship that I find so amazing [is that] there's so much love between them. That's what makes the thing so intense, and I just feel that.
What was your biggest pinch-me moment on set? You're standing there; you've got Anakin [Hayden], you’ve got Obi-Wan [Ewan].
Moses Ingram: Honestly, standing between them is an invaluable experience. We only get to do this today because of what they did nearly 20 years ago, and I feel so blessed. So blessed to even be a part of it in this way. There were a lot of pinch-me moments. There were a lot and still are, every day.
Do you your first time seeing Star Wars? And what was the moment that made you kind of fall in love with it?
Moses Ingram: Like many other people, I don't know a world in which Star Wars does not exist. I always knew Vader. I always knew Obi-Wan. I had a lightsaber. I had just never seen the movies. I had seen one of the newer ones, of course, with John Boyega. But the larger [lore] of it, I didn't know so much about. This experience was my introduction into it. But I felt so grateful.
We had a press conference earlier, and Ewan was talking about how A New Hope is his favorite because it changed his life and he experienced so much [through] that. And I feel like it's the same, with this, for me. So, my fandom started in the perfect way.
