Star Wars Fans Racially Attack Black Actress

Star Wars projects have been causing havoc within the fanbase as racists have come out to voice themselves.

The fanbase at times has struggled to accept new characters, especially those of Color, as John Boyega spoke about, using his social media platforms to go at it with Star Wars fans.

Now actress Moses Ingram, who stars in the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series, detailed the racist messages she continues to receive.

“Long story short, there are hundreds of those. Hundreds,” she said. “And 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, you know, there’s nothing anybody can do about this. There’s nothing anybody can do to stop this hate. And so I question my purposes even being here in front of you saying that this is happening."

The Star Wars brand took to its official Twitter account to stand by Ingram.

"We are proud to welcome Moses Ingram to the Star Wars family and excited for Reva’s story to unfold. If anyone intends to make her feel in any way unwelcome, we have only one thing to say: we resist," it wrote along with a photo of Ingram.
