It’s ok not to like a character. She is a villain…..however doesn’t give anyone the right to attack the actress. She’s just doing a job. Ridiculous

[icaru.s]

I don’t understand why people go for the ACTRESS. There’s so reason to attack them. They had little to no say in their character / character arc or plot. This is just Star Wars fans being Star Wars fans.

I personally didn’t like the character either but I think that’s how the character was built in the first place. Her character, at least from the first two episodes, seems to be one of the main antagonists of the series. The fact that people can’t differentiate a fictional character from the actress that portrays that character just reinforces the decline in common sense thinking that has been affecting people these past few years.

[Rollbrand]

I didn't like Reva. But, it's still early for me to judge since it's the first two episodes. I don't have anything against Moses Ingram either. But judging from the response she gives to some and her take on Star Wars. It's not good. However, don't attack the actor for a character they play in a series. Separate reality from fiction!

Update: this show sucks!

[Central_Zensation]

So far, I personally don't like the character of Reva, but the show only has two episodes currently, so it's a bit early to judge. But, even if you don't like the character, that absolutely does not justify sending hateful things to actors. Of course, it's perfectly fine not to like an actor/actress or their acting abilities but still, you shouldn't send hate whatsoever

Edit: Apparently I'm racist for not liking a character, even though I specifically said that it's not okay to send hateful things to the actors/actresses 🙃

[cortezm.]

I swear to God this is so freaking old to have some fans or commenters speaking negatively towards the actors/actresses that play these characters. You can hate the characters all you want, but that does not justify in any way, shape, or form why you should be racist or hateful to the people who play these characters in the show, movie, or franchise.

[DoomSlayer-lknt]

I think she’s an annoying ass character but it’s hard to create that feeling for the audience and that’s why I think she’s a perfect fit . She doesn’t deserve hate, she deserves praise for her ability to act

[Spectralyzed]

I'm glad she knows that this isn't the entirety of the fanbase, and that there are people who actually are decent human beings who don't condone this behavior.

Death threats aren't okay, people. Not to her, not to the little actress playing Leia, not to any other actors y'all might be bashing for doing their jobs, just like it wasn't okay when it happened to Ahmed Best, Jake Lloyd, Hayden, and Ewan back when the Prequels came out. You are free to dislike these characters, even dislike the show, but thinking it's fine to tell these people to kill themselves over this tells me there's something genuinely wrong with y'all. You aren't doing anything good for the Star Wars community by doing this.

[tomwylie]

As someone who actually likes the character I’m really disappointed in Star Wars fans. Good on her for this kind of response, you guys are weird 😂

[Ellis]

This kind of behavior has to stop, and these people knew what they were getting into in the first place. She’s doing fantastic work and I enjoy her character, keep it nice people

[Mr.Silence.]

I really feel bad for her, and it's horrible that like she said there really isn't anything that can be done about it to keep it from happening.

[orfeasson]

Honestly i hate her character and thats the point i just see this as she is a great actress because she is doing exactly what she was told be the bad guy and she is doing an amazing job at it

[ChalisterX]

I know I’ll sound dumb, but she’s the actress right? If so, her character, Im not to fond of the character, but the same thing happened with Ashoka in the clone wars, started off unliked then grew into a fine example of character development. I wouldn’t be shocked if Reva dies in the series, but it also wouldn’t shock me if there was some sort of redemption point either.

[davidmoir]

I think moses Ingram's performance has been great so far. She's playing a character that's been shaped by her experience and doing so faithfully and, I think, realistically. lots of people go through life angry but without yhe self awareness to make changes. I think she's represented that very well and her performance will resonate with many people, myself included. If you hate Reva that's OK. She's playing a villainous role at present. If you hate Reva, Moses is doing her job well. I want to see more of her journey. She's gotten me invested because loss and lack of support in childhood can define peoples personalities but thats not their finishing point. Much love Ms Ingram. Much Much love ❤️

[simbelmyne]

I really don't love that all the top comments start with "I don't like Reva but" so here it is: I LIKE REVA. I like Moses' acting, all the little quirks, the emltion on her face in the third episode. I love the parkour, I love Reva. No caveats no buts, I like the actress and the character and I'm gonna keep saying it.

[chadwickdavis]

I don’t understand why people hate her for PLAYING A ROLE SHE WAS GIVEN.

[marvelsomething]

That's an incredibly measured and mature response to that kind of vitriol. That takes serious courage, confidence and perseverance.

[livinglegacy]

Please do not listen to this hatred in the world 😥
You are INCREDIBLY talented!!! I absolutely love your character in Obi-Wan and can't wait to see what you do next!!! 👍

[gabethedinosaur]

She’s made Star Wars history . I give George Lucas the credit for choosing Moses Ingram for playing the perfect villain for Star Wars

[Jyn-mb]

God is there really so much hate against these actors?? She was an amazing actress so far. She has that amazing you brash and true ambitious evil her character is supposed to identify as
