Star Wars was slammed over a woke tweet telling critics of its newest show ‘don’t be racist,’ even though the Disney-owned franchise previously shrunk black star John Boyega’s photo on a movie poster to appease Chinese audiences.
The tweet came in response to a slew of Instagram stories Moses Ingram – who plays Reva Sevander, aka the Third Sister, in the franchise’s new miniseries Obi-Wan Kenobi – posted revealing seemingly racist remarks sent to her by Star Wars fans.
The franchise, rushing to her defense, took to Twitter early Tuesday saying: ‘We are proud to welcome Moses Ingram to the Star Wars family and excited for Reva’s story to unfold. If anyone intends to make her feel in any way unwelcome, we have only one thing to say: we resist.’
