Carrie-Anne Moss told Business Insider that she knew when she signed on to play Jedi Master Indara in The Acolyte that she’d be killed off right away, although she didn’t think it would be such a big deal.
“I swear if you hype up a Carrie-Anne Moss Jedi only for her role to be THAT small, imma force choke someone,” one viewer wrote on X after the first episode.
“Why yall make Carrie-Anne Moss get out of bed if you’re just gonna waste her like that,” another wrote.
“The reaction to it from the fans, I kind of thought, ‘Wow, how did I not think of that?'” she said. Though her character does appear in flashbacks later in the series, Moss said she didn’t think about if people would be missing her presence on the show.
“I mean, I serve the writers and the directors,” she continued. “It didn’t cross my mind. But afterward, when people made a big deal about it. I was like, ‘How did I miss that?’ I didn’t think it would be a big deal at all.”
See Moss in season 2 of FUBAR on Netflix, starring opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. Stream The Acolyte on Disney+ now.
