Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Moses Ingram on Attending Jedi School With Ewan McGregor

Three episodes into Obi-Wan Kenobi, it is clear Reva is a key character in the series. Moses Ingram joined co-stars Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen, as well as director Deborah Chow in the press tour for the series, and most recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote the new Star Wars show.



Kimmel asked her if she now feels what it's like to be a part of the Star Wars universe, to which she replied:

Ingram then said that she'd never watched any of the Star Wars films until she got the role of Reva in Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The audition process for Reva was also rather mysterious, as the actress didn't even know she would get a lightsaber until the first day of what is known as Jedi School. She said:

Kimmel was then really intrigued by the concept of the Jedi School, the name of the training program at Lucasfilm that actors who will be playing force users in an upcoming Star Wars project must go through. When asked how many students there are in Jedi School, Ingram replied:

We saw the results of Ingram running across walls in the second episode, when she was chasing Obi-Wan through the rooftops of Daiyu. She also clarified that she wasn't even in wires the first time she did it, though they will use that trick on those actors who can't pull it off. That was not the case for Ewan McGregor, though:

Kimmel then brought up the video Ingram posted a year ago, on May the Fourth, showing off her lightsaber skills. Apparently, she got in trouble for posting it, as she recalled:

Ingram also discussed the lightsabers they used for training, saying they were kind of like the ones they sell as toys, but a slightly fancier version. 'It has a weight to it', she said. She also added that she kept the hilt after filming wrapped.







Kimmel also asked if Reva's mission is to kill Obi-Wan, to which Ingram quickly replied:

She also said that Deborah Chow encouraged the two of them to train together, instead of pulling them apart and hoping there would be some tension off-screen that would then be translated on-screen. The actress took that opportunity to share the following story:

Ingram also revealed that she was in a similar situation with Denzel Washington last year when they were filming Macbeth.



She is an Emmy-nominated actress and even putting aside racist comments, her character is one of the most talked about out of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. You can check out what one of our writers thought of the third episode, which aired this past Wednesday, here. The next episode will debut on Disney Plus on Wednesday, June 8th.
