A new video from behind the scenes of the Disney Plus Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi shows Reva actress Moses Ingram in lightsaber training with a fully-suited Darth Vader.

Obi-Wan Kenobi introduced Moses Ingram as Reva, the Third Sister of the Empire’s Jedi-hunting Inquisitorius. While Darth Vader loomed constantly over Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan and the events of the series, Reva was his most ardent agent in the hunt for Kenobi. In a shocking twist, however, it was revealed that Reva was not serving Vader at all, but plotting to turn against him, using Obi-Wan as bait. When the moment of confrontation came, Vader easily overpowered her in a dazzling duel, which saw Vader dodging Reva’s blows without even raising a weapon against her at first.

Moses Ingram Takes On Darth Vader

In a behind-the-scenes video that has been shared online, Moses Ingram can be seen in her full Inquisitor gear taking on Hayden Christensen’s unarmed Darth Vader, who dodges her blows and rehearses his Force-powered deflections. The final version of the fight appears in Part V of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The video demonstrates the hard work and dedicated practice that goes into bringing a fight like the one between Darth Vader and Reva to life. The moves require a lot of energy and some surprisingly precise movements from Hayden Christensen in that cumbersome Darth Vader suit. Check out the video below:

All that training definitely paid off. The duel between Darth Vader and Reva, which eventually sees Vader separating Reva’s double-ended lightsaber and using one of the blades against her himself, is one of Obi-Wan Kenobi‘s most jaw-dropping moments.
