Obi-Wan Kenobi Reva Actress Responds To Racist Backlash
Despite the negativity to come from it, Obi-Wan Kenobi star Moses Ingram is responding to the racist backlash with a brighter outlook than some may expect. Ingram stars in the new Star Wars series as Reva Sevander, also known as the Third Sister, a member of the Galactic Empire's Inquisitors who is ruthlessly hunting down the titular Jedi, much to the chagrin of the Grand Inquisitor. Obi-Wan Kenobi chronicles Kenobi having to go on the run from the Inquisitors while saving a young Leia Organa from being kidnapped by Reva in a ploy to draw him out.
Ingram is one of many Star Wars newcomers in Obi-Wan Kenobi alongside Rupert Friend as the Grand Inquisitor, Sung Kang as the Fifth Brother, Benny Safdie, Vivien Lyra Blair as Leia, Flea, Kumail Nanjiani and Indira Varma.
