STAR WARS Releases Official Statement Following "Racist" Backlash To OBI-WAN KENOBI Actress Moses Ingram

She seems like a very sweet person and definitely does not deserve such treatment. Unfortunately, she cannot act her way out of a paper bag.

Oh whatever. Disney literally lashed out at the fanbase about this before the show even came out. They're trying to manufacture drama.

Smh.....only a very, very small minority of those who are criticizing her care about the color of her skin. The attacks are coming because she's not doing that great of a job in the role, and because there is a sense that she's going to end up having as large a role, and possibly even a larger role, than the man the series is named after. There are also some who feel, based on Kathleen Kennedy's past, that the main reason Reva is being pushed is due to the desire to push diversity and downplay characters from the original series instead of for legitimate story reasons. Disney is trying to make all criticism of her illegitimate by claiming that it is all based on racism. That now seems to be their standard tactic to deflect criticism, unless the criticism is directed at men, either white or black. Finn wasn't exactly given the same amount of support by Disney, and Disney doesn't seem to care about criticism of the other inquisitors, at least not enough to post a defense on social media. And it's funny, I don't remember any big controversy about so-called racist attacks on Ming-Na Wen for her role on The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett, and you would think if all those who attacked Kelly Tran and this actress were racist, that those same people would attack Ming-Na Wen as well. (I'm sure an extremely small minority are attacking these actresses due to racism, but the emphasis should be on "extremely small." Honestly, the best way to make those idiots go away would be to ignore them, but Disney and Lucasfilm have an agenda to support, and so they have to make the racist element of the fandom appear larger than it really is in order to suppress those with legitimate complaints and those who oppose that agenda.)
