Star Wars has consistently been a platform that bravely tackles themes of racism, both within its expansive fictional universe and in the dynamics among its dedicated fan base. Notably, Ewan McGregor, who portrayed Obi-Wan Kenobi in the franchise, publicly addressed the unjust treatment faced by actress Moses Ingram,

who was subjected to racist messages in her direct messages following her role in the Obi- wan series. McGregor’s condemnation of such hatred not only highlights the unacceptable nature of racism but also serves as a call to action for what it means to embody the spirit of Star Wars as a community truly.

The fact that a prominent Star Wars actor felt compelled to create a video addressing these troubling issues underscores the seriousness of the situation, especially in the wake of the recent decision to cancel The Acolyte, which had generated considerable anticipation and hope for more diverse storytelling within the franchise.
