We’re a year past the first and (so far) only season of The Acolyte, but like all Star Wars adventures the show never leaves the conversation, and here Master Indara actress Carrie-Anne Moss chats to Business Insider and brings up the ill-feted Jedi and how she never gave her early death in the series a second thought….until the fans reacted.

Speaking to Business Insider, Moss admitted she simply didn’t think about how the audience would receive the scene.

“The reaction to it from the fans, I kind of thought, ‘Wow, how did I not think of that?'” she said. Though her character does appear in flashbacks later in the series, Moss said she didn’t think about if people would be missing her presence on the show.

“I mean, I serve the writers and the directors,” she continued. “It didn’t cross my mind. But afterward, when people made a big deal about it. I was like, ‘How did I miss that?’ I didn’t think it would be a big deal at all.”

Though Disney canceled “The Acolyte” after one season, Moss isn’t slowing down. She currently stars in season 2 of the Netflix series “FUBAR” opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger.

For Moss, it’s a restart to her career after slowing down in the 2010s to raise her children. Now that they’re off to college, Moss said she’s having the most fun she’s ever had playing a villain opposite Schwarzenegger.

“I love working and love so many of the jobs that I’ve done, but that wouldn’t be how I would describe them,” Moss said. “Having a job for the first time where I can say, ‘That was so much fun,’ it makes me want to do more.
