I question my purpose in even being here in front of you saying that this is happening. I don\u2019t really know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing that bothers me is this feeling inside of myself, that no one has told me, but this feeling that I have to shut up and take it, that I have to grin and bear it,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd I\u2019m not built like that. So, I wanted to come on and say thank you to the people who show up for me in the comments and the places that I\u2019m not going to put myself.

I heard some of them this morning, and it just broke my heart,\u201d McGregor <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/starwars\/status\/1531804726165401600\">said<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoses is a brilliant actor. She is a brilliant woman. And she is absolutely amazing in this series. She brings so much to the series, she brings so much to the franchise. And it just sickened me to my stomach to hear that this had been happening. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded: \u201cAnd if you\u2019re sending her bullying messages, you\u2019re no Star Wars fan in my mind. There\u2019s no place for racism in this world.
