Lucasfilm and Ewan McGregor have already released statement defending Obi-Wan Kenobi actress Moses Ingram (Reva) from the despicable racist abuse she's been targeted with online, and O'Shea Jackson Jr. has now shared a Tweet in support of his costar.
The Godzilla: King of the Monsters actor highlighted the fact that a Black man, the legendary James Earl Jones, provides the voice of Darth Vader, before teasing his own role in the Disney+ series: "They are gonna loooooove finding out what my character does."
Of course, Jackson is referring to the racist trolls who seem to have an issue with Ingram playing a high-ranking Sith Inquisitor.
Jackson hasn't appeared in Obi-Wan Kenobi yet, which means some of the leaked details released prior to the show's premiere were inaccurate. If the rest turns out to be on the level, he'll be playing a heroic character named "Roken" who helps Obi-Wan and Leia return to Alderaan. There's more to his character, but it's a little spoilery, so click here to find out.
Episode 3 of Obi-Wan Kenobi is now streaming on Disney+. What do you guys make of the series so far?
