During a roundtable interview ahead of the series, attended by Insider, Ingram said: "I did fall. It's true. I tripped over my cape a lot. It's hard to fight with a cape that long."

Interview the interview, Ingram also said that training was one of her biggest challenges when filming.

"The training probably was the hardest part only because you have to get your body to a certain place to be able to do these things again and again and again," the actor said. "And so, we trained for like four intense months with Jedi school on top of that. And really anything you could think that you might need as a Jedi is what you learn in these classes. It was really intense but we got to do it together, and so it was fun."

While many fans have praised, Ingram's performance in the series' first three episodes, on Monday, the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" actor said that she has received racist messages online.

In a short video posted on the official "Star Wars" Instagram account, McGregor said he was "sickened" by the "horrendous" messages sent to Ingram.

"We love Moses, and if you're sending her bullying messages, you're no 'Star Wars' fan in my mind," He added. "There's no place for racism in this world and I totally stand with Moses."
