Mini Series Indara (spoilers allowed)

Called it

 

Along with thousands of other people.

 

Not sure I liked the character and can’t decide whether it was meant to be that way because we will find out she was responsible for what happened with the fire on the planet or because well for me she will be Trinity forever and I cannot get out of the matrix or because the writing/acting was off? I think it is the first one… she struck me as too sure of herself and patronizing and a bit of a snob and one of these really strict Jedi all no attachment and mind the code and greater good who cares of the collateral damages (LOTR elf style let’s say) but it may be only my perception…

 

im calling it differently. To quote one terminator…

 

If you didn’t actually make the prediction then trying to call it after the fact is the stolen valor of posting

 

I suspect we'll see plenty of Indara in flashbacks. And since she is the first on the Acolyte's kill list, does that make her Mae's most or least hated enemy?

It's possible she may be more of an ambiguous figure than she seems in E1. Is she to blame for what happened to Mae's people? The actress has played corrupt/grey figures before, so it's possible she was casted for more than just her reputation as Trinity.

 

I think least since revenge is usually done in that order at least in stories Savouring the last kill longest. However they may subvert the expectations here. But I think we get flashbacks. They are important now since they have established jedi did something very wrong there.

 

Yeah. It was obvious from the marketing that she was a goner in the first episode.

I’ll reserve judgement on her character and capabilities until I see her in the flashbacks.

 

Jedi hanging around in bars never comes to any good.

 

Well was that dude still there with a fight Tony on and more importantly especially having a kid with him in a bar? Surely there had to be a more natural choice to get to the same predictable outcome of her being knocked off saving someone.

 

That I found quite dumb because he wasn't even hiding he went on doing his stuff in shooting range like if it was nothing... did not even hide the kid?
I thought maybe he was used to bar fights ending in nothing so he thought no big deal they will keep it between them?

 

Yes I thought so...like they were so sure the Jedi would close the fight quick and nobody would get hurt so no need to flee?

 

Yes like this village and this bar are so safe that I bring my minuscule kid at work and stay and watch the fight because there is no way in the galaxy someone can overpower the Jedi! To the people at that time maybe the only known force users were Jedi and therefore good so no worries?
Like Australia’s local fauna when they first saw a dog and went ahhhh cute I’ll stay and watch what he does because they had no big natural mammalian predators?

 

Her death could've happened when she saved the woman from hitting the floor, actually (saves woman, knife hits). That would've been more natural.

 

One thing i think people is missing here : late in the fight she removes Mae's mask and say Oh it's you.
But what YOU she meant ?
Did she think she was Osha, the supposed only survivor in the fire ?
Or, there's more to it and she actully knew it was Mae ( something the Order aparently did not know)?
I wonder, because Torbin acted in the second episode as if he knew the twin asking him to die was Mae (logical conclusion since Osha clearly believes there were no foul play and would never ask him to pay for his "sins").
If, indeed Indara knew it was Mae i think she'll have a bigger role in the series, not just a couple flashbacks.

 

It feels like Indara was the source of whatever happened to Osha/Mae's family. She made a decision, Torbin later felt guilt over his part in that decision (presumably), Sol seems to have come to terms with it leaving only the Wookie Jedi unclear in his reactions to this event.

Still, for such a brief presence so far in the opening, Moss did a heck of a job in establishing Indara's character. Very intrigued to see and learn more of her.

 

Well, from now on she can only appear in flashbacks. Because she's dead.

Don’t do that!

 

I am very curious what the exact details of the fire are. I think Indara makes the decision and Kalnacca carries it out potentially

Fun character! Reminds me of Mace Windu

 

Indara is a real wildcard in the plot for me. The writers and actors have said very little about her, so we only have the text to go off of, and so far, not really that much text to extrapolate from.

What I do think is important though:

1. She's the leader of this group of Jedi. So if she gives an unethical order, they may have to act against their own better judgements.
2. From the group's actions, we see that she's pretty brash and ethnocentric. She's willing to basically invade the Coven despite it not being part of the Republic and her sphere of influence. We can take from this that her rhetoric about asking the Coven's "permission" to test the girls is only that, hot air. She's creating a conflict here that didn't need to happen, and we should wonder how far she would take it.
3. Do the Jedi have any standing rules about darksiders or using the darkside in taboo, banned ways? If so, Indara may feel that the Coven must be destroyed because of their forbidden knowledge about creating life.

 

Do the Jedi even know that they created life? They might just think they’re “normal” kids and not even assume that they were created using the dark side
