But what should've been a dream come to life for Moses Ingram upon making her Star Wars debut as the complex Inquisitor Reva Sevander in Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi, quickly turned into a revolting nightmare for the talented star.

As revealed by Ingram herself, the American actor had been subjected to "hundreds" of racist messages and comments from "fans" on Instagram in the wake of her appearance as the former Jedi youngling in the series.

Her co-star Ewan McGregor and the franchise's own Twitter account were quick to supported Ingram online, with the former noting that "if you’re sending her bullying messages, you’re no ‘Star Wars’ fan in my mind."

But sadly, this isn't the first time a Star Wars thespian has found themselves on the receiving end of waves of racism during their time as part of the galaxy far, far away, with both John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran going on record to reveal the racist hate sent their way when occupying the roles of Finn and Rose in the Skywalker Saga.

In short, the Star Wars Twitter account likely put it best: "There are more than 20 million sentient species in the Star Wars galaxy, don’t choose to be a racist."
