Prior to this story, it was largely accepted by fans that young Obi-Wan of the prequels and Ben Kenobi of the original trilogy were men of not only two different time periods, but two different lives. With 10 years having passed in the miniseries since Episode III, Obi-Wan draws closer to looking and sounding like Guinness over the course of the six-part show. Obi-Wan had at least one epic adventure left in him before the 1977 film picked up his story. "If anyone intends to make her feel in any way unwelcome, we have only one thing to say: we resist.With this week’s conclusion of Obi-Wan Kenobi, fans were let in on how Obi-Wan overcame his struggle to accept and move on from the tragic events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, which left him somewhat broken and the galaxy in peril.Īnd as it turns out, Kenobi didn’t spend 20 years in the desert as “a crazy old man,” as he was dismissed by Uncle Owen in A New Hope. "We are proud to welcome Moses Ingram to the Star Wars family and excited for Reva's story to unfold," the message read. Shortly after Ingram shared the abusive messages, a show of support for her was posted to the official Star Wars social media accounts, reminding fans that "there are more than 20 million sentient species in the Star Wars galaxy, don't choose to be a racist." "I also see those of you out there who put on a cape for me and that really does mean the world to me, because there's nothing anybody can do about this."
"Long story short, there are hundreds of those, hundreds," Ingram said in a video accompanying the messages. Ingram on Monday shared multiple racist and threatening messages that had been sent to her on Instagram, including comments that accused her of being a "diversity hire" and one warning that her "days are numbered." In the series, Ingram stars alongside McGregor as the character Reva Sevander, an "inquisitor" hunting down McGregor's title character and other surviving Jedi 10 years after the events that unfolded in the Star Wars prequel film trilogy. There's no place for racism in this world and I totally stand with Moses." We love Moses, and if you're sending her bullying messages, you're no Star Wars fan in my mind. "I just want to say-as the leading actor in the series, as the executive producer in the series-that we stand with Moses. "It just sickened me to my stomach to hear that this had been happening," he continued. She brings so much to the series, she brings so much to the franchise." Moses is a brilliant actor, she's a brilliant woman and she's absolutely amazing in this series. "I heard some of them this morning and it just broke my heart. have decided to attack Moses Ingram online and send her the most horrendous, racist DMs," McGregor said in the video. In a video labeled "a personal message from Ewan McGregor" and shared to the official Star Wars Twitter account on Tuesday evening, McGregor celebrated the miniseries recently becoming "the most-watched Disney+ original premiere of all time" before shifting focus to the "horrendous" vitriol being directed toward Ingram, who is Black.
