Morgana Ignis is an actress,[1] voice actress, writer[2] and puppeteer and creature performer who appeared in the 2022 Disney+ limited series Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi. Having been brought onto the production by Creature Department head Andrea Detwiler, she portrayed an alien dignitary in "Part I"[5] and a merchant in "Part III." For the latter role, Ignis wore a costume[4] originally designed for Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker that was cut from the final film. It required her to hide most of her body with props on the costume's back while operating the creature's "head" with solely her hand.[6]
