Actress Moses Ingram is becoming a member of the 'Star Wars' universe because the Jedi Inquisitor Reva in 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'— here's what you'll expect from the nature together with her hairstyle and lightsaber training.

The Empire is definitely conscious that the Jedi weren't utterly burnt up all the way through Order 66. They're nonetheless on the hunt for Jedi survivors 10 years after the nice Jedi purge within the extremely anticipated upcoming Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi.

What beings within the galaxy were powerful sufficient to seek down Jedi?

Enter the Jedi Inquisitors.

One specific Inquisitor who has caught the attention of Star Wars fans ever since she first seemed within the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer is Reva.

Distractify attended the reliable Obi-Wan Kenobi press junket, and here's what actress Moses Ingram printed about her intriguing new character.

Who is Reva the Inquisitor in 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'?

Although actress Moses Ingram wields a crimson lightsaber in the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer like she's been doing it her entire life, she to start with didn't notice she was auditioning for an element in Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Once she realized it was once a Star Wars project, she, "Couldn't say no. I mean, it's Star Wars."

When requested by way of Devan Coggan of Entertainment Weekly what Moses's response was when she learned it used to be in fact a Star Wars venture, Moses replied, "I was surprised. I mean from what I knew of Star Wars, I didn't realize it was that dangerous. It felt dangerous when I was reading and I was like, "Oh I really like this. I'm into this."

The actress added, "[Reva's] a subordinate of Darth Vader, and she's going to do the entirety she will be able to to get the job done to the best of her skill. I believe I used to be maximum intrigued simply by her fervor for what she does."

The show is set 10 years after the events of Revenge of the Sith, but fans don't have to see the shot of Darth Vader to know that Reva is referring to his fallen Jedi student.

Was Inquisitor Reva in any other 'Star Wars' movies or TV shows before 'Obi-Wan Kenobi?'

While is an entirely new character for the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, Jedi inquisitors have appeared in the franchise before. They were initially introduced in the Star Wars computer-animated series Star Wars: Rebels.

Per Den of Geek, the Rebels series actually takes 14 years after Revenge of the Sith, so technically Reva and her inquisitor squad are the first of their kind to canonically appear in the Star Wars universe, timeline-wise!

The Inquisitors were in charge of hunting down surviving Jedi. If the Inquisitors failed to convince the surviving Jedi to turn to the Dark side and serve Emperor Palpatine, then they were deemed a threat that had to be exterminated then and there.

So what makes a Jedi Inquisitor qualified to hunt Jedi? They were once all Jedi themselves. The Inquisitors chose to surrender to the Empire during Order 66, rather than be executed.

So although exact details about Reva remain a highly-guarded mystery until the Obi-Wan Kenobi premiere on May 27, 2022, we can conclude that she was once a former Jedi. It would be interesting for the series to explore her backstory and explain why she chose to turn, rather than go into hiding.

Moses Ingram was instrumental in deciding Reva's final hairstyle.

The actress was very happy that Obi-Wan Kenobi's director and showrunner Deborah Chow welcomed her thoughts on Reva's hair.

"[Reva's] hair was once other in the initial envisioning of her character," Moses said. "And it was once simply one thing my hair didn't do naturally. Deb was once nice about...listening to me out on that and that's how we ended up with the braids."

Moses wanted little girls that wanted to dress up as Reva to see that the character had hair like theirs.

She also recalled growing up and remembering that strength was never equated with being a girl, noting, "What's cool about [Obi-Wan Kenobi is] you'll struggle like a lady and still...be bada--, which is beautiful cool."

The hype is hitting hyperdrive level speed at this level but thankfully the wait will be over soon.

Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres on Friday, May 27, 2022, exclusively on Disney+.
