Carrie-Anne Moss as Indara fighting Mae in The Acolyte Episode 1
The Big Picture To say The Acolyte opens with a bang is an understatement. After promotional materials for Disney+'s newest Star Wars series highlighted Carrie-Anne Moss's presence as Jedi Master Indara , creator and showrunner Leslye Headland pulls a fast one by killing Moss's character less than seven minutes into the premiere.

Either way, since Indara was one of the Jedi stationed on Mae and Osha's home planet, things just turned personal. A ghost from Indara's past has returned to haunt her — a ghost she refrains from mind-reading when Mae wrenches her head away from Indara's approaching hand. For Indara, the answers aren't worth ignoring Mae's lack of consent. It's a small moment with a larger thematic substance. Other Jedi in her position wouldn't hesitate to invade Mae's mind.
Carrie-Anne Moss Is Perfect For 'The Acolyte' Because Indara’s death provides The Acolyte’s key event, the stakes have never been higher for a Star Wars series. One of the franchise's favorite tropes might be dramatic deaths, but never so rapidly. All bets are off if they can take out Carrie-Anne Moss, the most recognizable name attached to the show. Not only does a Jedi die before the opening credits, it’s Moss's Jedi: the one certain fans were the most excited to see.
