Perhaps Star Wars<\/em><\/span> has learned a thing or two from its past failures<\/span> to protect its actors from racism because, this time, the franchise is stepping up its defenses with Obi-Wan himself. Shortly after Moses Ingram went public<\/span> with some of the vile messages she’d received from toxic Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/em><\/span> fans, Ewan McGregor shared a video condemning the hate.<\/p>\n

The clip, posted on the official Star Wars<\/em> Twitter<\/a><\/span>began with McGregor thanking the audience for making Obi-Wan<\/em> “The most watched Disney + original series premiere of all time.” Then he quickly switched gears to the matter at hand: \u201cHowever, it seems that some of the fan base, from this influential fan base, have decided to attack Moses Ingram online and send her the most horrendous, racist DMs. And I heard some of them this morning and it just broke my heart. “<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cMoses is a brilliant actor, she’s a brilliant woman and she’s absolutely amazing in this series. Lei she brings so much to the series, she brings so much to the franchise. And it just sickened me to my stomach to hear that this had been happening. “<\/p>\n
