If Obi-Wan Kenobi makes Disney and its actors happy, especially since we learned that it is the best launch ever on the Disney + platform since its creation, other events come to spoil the fiesta. . Actress Moses Ingram, who plays the Third Sister of the Inquisitors, also known as Reva Sevander, has been the victim of racist insults on social networks, in particular on her Instagram account. In order to denounce these shameful behaviors, she decided to share some messages sent to her on the Internet.
In short, there are hundreds of posts like this, and I also see those who come here to defend me, it means a lot to me. Because there is nothing that can stop this hatred. I wonder what I'm for, and even why I'm telling you this… I don't have an answer. What bothers me the most is this feeling that I have deep inside me, that I have to shut up and take it. That I have to look good. I don't have the shoulders for that. So I really want to thank those who are there to defend me in the comments. Others ? You are weird.
If Moses Ingram had prepared to be attacked for her skin color, she might not have expected so much hate, and this story is reminiscent of what happened to actress Kelly Marie Tran during the release of Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedis. She too had been the victim of a wave of harassment online because of her Asian origins. According to some Star Wars fans, minorities obviously have no place in the universe of George Lucas. Obviously, this did not leave the members of Disney unmoved, and in particular Ewan McGregor who immediately stepped up to the plate, he who is also executive producer of the series. In a message posted on the official Star Wars accounts, on Twitter and Instagram, the English actor begins by thanking the community for having made the mini-series the most watched on Disney +, then hastens to evoke the harassment is victim Moses Ingram. He recalled the talent of the actress, the importance of her character in the Star Wars universe and firmly indicated that there was no place for racism in the Star Wars universe.
