Carrie-Anne Moss Is Like A Jedi Trinity In Star Wars: The Acolyte
No joke, actress Carrie-Anne Moss knows Force-fu in the upcoming Star Wars TV series, The Acolyte. That’s because her character, Jedi Master Indara, takes direct inspiration from her iconic role as Trinity in The Matrix franchise.
Speaking with Empire, The Acolyte creator Leslye Headland discussed the connections between Trinity and Indara. “I personally wanted to see someone who had the highest status you could imagine in a Force-fu fight–somebody that would come in and you immediately would be like, ‘Oh, that’s the most powerful Jedi in the room,'” said Headland. “And that’s Trinity.”
In the official trailer for The Acolyte, Indara shows off her hand-to-hand combat prowess in a battle with a masked character called Mae, portrayed by Amandla Stenberg. So you can already see the Trinity influences in the brief snippets of footage.
