OBI-WAN KENOBI's Moses Ingram Hints That She'll "Play With Lightsabers" In Disney+ STAR WARS Series

Earlier today, Lucasfilm announced the rest of the main cast members for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series, and The Queen's Gambit breakout Moses Ingram was among them.

While no details on any of the characters were shared, Ingram's follow-up social media post has sent speculation into overdrive.

As you can see, the actress captioned her Instagram post with "I play with lightsabers."

While there's a chance Ingram isn't actually referencing her character here (maybe she plays with lightsabers IRL?), fans have understandably taken this as a hint that she's been cast as a force-wielder of some description. A Jedi is a possibility, but it seems more likely that Ingram will play one of The Inquisitors that were sent out to hunt down the last remaining Jedi following "The Purge."

Specific plot details are under wraps, but we do know that Obi-Wan will be set between the events of Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope, and that Hayden Christensen will return as Darth Vader for a confrontation with his old master. There are also rumors that younger versions of both Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa will appear, but that's yet to be confirmed.

Ingram joins Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie. Ewan McGregor will reprise the role of the legendary Jedi.

The Mandalorian director Deborah Chow is set to helm all episodes of the series, with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy on board as producer along-with Chow, Jason D. McGatlin (The Rise of Skywalker), Tracey Seaward (The Queen), and John Swartz (Rogue One).

So was Obi-Wan's years of isolation just business as usual, just in the desert.

Tatooine is filled with bounty hunters, criminals, sand people, jawas, some sand monsters. Do we need other lightsaber users.

Although would be cool to see Jason Issacs or Sarah Michelle Gellar play their Inquizitor characters in live action

@dracula - if there’s a show where they could show up, this is it. Jason Isaacs and Sarah Michelle Gellar reprising their roles would be awesome.

She was def one of the highlights from the little of what we saw of her in “The Queen’s Gambit” other than Anya Taylor-Joy. Glad she’s in this.

It has to be an Inquisitor. Star Wars is at it's most interesting with lightsabers involved

I'm still having a hard time mustering interest for this. A crazy old hermit shouldn't be doing anything that might draw attention to their location and The Empire shouldn't have a whiff of where he is or E:IV becomes really weird.

Still going to watch it though.

I think it seems like a retcon to have Obi Wan or Yoda doing anything before A New Hope but it is possible that maybe they had some adventures, I don’t think it’s 100% one way or the other. Also Obi Wan meeting Darth Vader might be considered a retcon too but hey none of these things were explicitly said, just hinted. I hope Ahsoka and some famous clones show up, they weren’t in the cast list but surely Temuera Morrison will return in this?

She was great on Queen's Gambit. Good for her.

My guess is either Younger Ahsoka or an Inquisitior.

I didn't watch The Mandalorian past season one, but I'll give Obi-Wan a shot.
This cast is just too good.

Could be the Jedi that renounced themselves in Fallen Order, forget her name. Was the main pilot of the ship, time periods line up

"I play with lightsabers". Sooo... there's an inappropriate joke there. But I shall be a grown-up, and not make it.😂

This could all just be a fun caption she wanted to say since the franchise is known for lightsabers, that people are gonna look way too deep into.

With all the negativity surrounding Lucasfilm it’s hard for me to get excited for anything Star Wars. 🤷‍♂️

I'm kinda hoping we get to see a non-force user with lightsabers. Not another Jedi or Inquisitor, but a bounty hunter would be cool

@bkmeijer - we've had enough bounty hunters for the past two years. It's lightsaber time lol

@bobevanz - but what about a bounty hunter with a lightsaber? Haven't seen that in live-action
