Actress Moses Ingram started the controversy when she spoke with The Independent revealing that Lucasfilm had instructed her to expect “racist online abuse.”<\/p>\n

She told the British outlet, \u201c\u201c It was something that Lucasfilm actually got in front of, and said, ‘This is a thing that, unfortunately, likely will happen. But we are here to help you; you can let us know when it happens. ‘”<\/p>\n

She also noted that Deborah Chow and others at Lucasfilm were “putting the proper systems in place so I feel safe as we do the work.” <\/p>\n

\u201cOf course there are always pockets of hate,\u201d she added. “But I have no problem with the block button.”<\/p>\n

Ingram then made the absurd claim that “Obi-Wan is going to bring the most diversity I think we’ve ever seen in the galaxy before.”<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cTo me, it’s long overdue. If you’ve got talking droids and aliens, but no people of color, it doesn’t make any sense. It’s 2022, you know. So we’re just at the beginning of that change. But I think to start that change is better than never having started it. “<\/p>\n

A little over a week after making these comments to The Independent, Ingram claimed she was receiving hundreds of direct messages via Instagram of abuse albeit she only shared four as well as a thumbnail from YouTube referencing a South Park film. Of the four DMs she shared only one of them qualified as abuse. <\/p>\n

Even more suspect was that Ingram posted the screenshots of the DMs in the middle of the night, timing it perfectly so media outlets would pick it up the next morning that just happened to be the Tuesday after Memorial Day.<\/p>\n

The first screenshot she shared read, “You’re days are numbered.”<\/p>\n

Next she shared one where a user wrote, “You are not the first n **** in starwarss fool.”<\/p>\n

The third read, \u201cYou suck loser. You’re a diversity hire and you won’t be loved or remembered for this acting role. “<\/p>\n

The fifth and final one is the only that shows actual abuse. It reads, \u201c’AYO KENOBI YOU AINT FINNA RUN FOREVER WHITE BOY’ ‘GET BACK HERE’ – Third Sister, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You have now been converted into the Saint George of Floydium of Star Wars, are you happy. How the f *** does an alien know eubonics. “<\/p>\n

Accompanying these images, Ingram shared a video message. She began, \u201cLong story short. There are hundreds of those. Hundreds. 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 there is nothing anybody can do about this. “<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s nothing anybody can do to stop this hate,\u201d she reiterated. “So I question what my purpose is in even being here in front of you saying this is happening. I don’t really know. I don’t really know. “<\/p>\n

Ingram continued, “But I think the thing that bothers me is that like sort of this feeling that I’ve had inside of myself which no one has told me, but this feeling of like, ‘I just got to shut up and take it . ‘ You know I just got to grin and bear it. And I’m not built like that. “<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I really just wanted to come on, I think, and say thank you to the people who show up for me in the comments and the places that I’m not going to put myself. And to the rest of y’all, y’all weird, \u201dshe concluded.<\/p>\n
