The official accounts of Star Wars social media issued a statement on Monday afternoon, defending Obi-Wan Kenobi star Moses Ingram from vile online attacks.
“There are more than 20 million sensitive species in the Star Wars galaxy, don’t choose to be racist,” the message began from Disney accounts. “We’re proud to welcome Moses Ingram to the Star Wars family and excited to see Reva’s story unfold. If anyone wants to make her feel somehow unwanted, we only have one thing to say: resist.”
Ingram plays Reva Sevander, also known as the Third Sister, who is looking for Obi-Wan Kenobi for Darth Vader in the new Disney + series. which included the word N..
“There’s nothing anyone can do about it,” Ingram said in a video after sharing the poison he suffered. “There’s nothing anyone can do to stop this hatred. I question my intention to be here in front of you saying this is happening. I really don’t know.”
He continued: “What bothers me is this feeling inside me, that no one has told me, but this feeling that I have to shut up and take it, that I have to smile and endure it. And I’m not built that way. So, I come up with ideas, and to see them flush it out, it’s really strange. “
Among those in the actress’ corner is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star Anson Mount, who posted on social media on Tuesday: “This is Moses Ingram. He is a unique talent and a recent addition to “The @starwars universe has also been the target of racists posing as fans because their mere existence threatens a dystopian, biased fantasy that selectively omits @therealbillydee and others. We, the Trek family, get it back.”
