"Star Wars" is telling people to keep their racist comments about a new face to its franchise out of this galaxy.
In a series of tweets, the "Star Wars" account stood behind actor Moses Ingram, who plays Reva in the new “Star Wars” series “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” This week, Ingram, who is Black, posted screenshots to her Instagram story sharing a number of racist comments she has gotten since the show premiered Friday. One said her “days are numbered"; another called her a “diversity hire."
“We are proud to welcome Moses Ingram to the Star Wars family and excited for Reva’s story to unfold," the “Star Wars” account tweeted Monday. "If anyone intends to make her feel in any way unwelcome, we have only one thing to say: we resist."
