Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star Anson Mount came to the defense of Obi-Wan Kenobi star, Moses Ingram, who has been the target of significant racist harassment for her role in the Star Wars Disney+ series.

"[Ingram] is a singular talent and a recent addition to the [Star Wars] universe," Mount wrote about Ingram on Instagram. "She has also been targeted by racists pretending to be fans because her mere existence threatens a skewed, dystopian fantasy that selectively omits the likes of [Billy Dee Williams] and others. We, the Trek Family, have her back." Williams portrayed Lando Calrissian in 1980's The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi in 1983 and The Rise of Skywalker in 2019.

Mount is currently starring as Captain Christopher Pike in Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which is both a spinoff of Star Trek: Discovery and a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series, based on the years that Captain Pike helmed the USS Enterprise before Captain James T. Kirk. Mount reprised his role as Captain Pike from Star Trek: Discovery, along with co-stars Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Mr. Spock.

While Ingram has received support from the world of Star Trek, her Obi-Wan Kenobi co-star Ewan McGregor recently came to her defense as well. In a statement shared on Star Wars' official social media channels, McGregor stated, "I just want to say as the leading actor in the series, as the executive producer on the series, that we stand with Moses, we love Moses, and if you're sending her bullying messages, you're no Star Wars fan in my mind."

McGregor and Mount's separate statements come after Ingram, who portrays Reva Sevander/the Third Sister in the Disney+ series, shared several screenshots of comments she received on social media since Obi-Wan Kenobi premiered. The comments range from racist attacks to outright death threats. "There's nothing anybody can do about this," Ingram said. "There's nothing anybody can do to stop this hate. I question my purpose in even being here in front of you, saying that this is happening. I don't really know." In a recent interview, Ingram revealed that she had been previously warned by Lucasfilm about the possibility of racist backlash for her role in the series.

Franchise stars Kellie Marie Tran and John Boyega have been open about the racist harassment they've received from Star Wars fans during their time in the Skywalker sequel trilogy. Tran, who first appeared as Rose Tico in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and again in The Rise of Skywalker, experienced significant online harassment from fans for her race, gender and appearance. Tran has discussed the toxicity she experienced from the Star Wars fandom and how it impacted her overall mental health, ultimately causing her to leave social media entirely in 2018.

New episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi air every Wednesday on Disney+.
