While fans are, of course, excited to see Ewan McGregor return to his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the, aptly titled, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” Disney+ series, there has been equal (if not more) anticipation at the idea of Hayden Christensen returning as Anakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader.

In a video posted to the official Twitter account, the 51-year-old actor says he is heartbroken by the “horrendous” messages Ingram has received since the limited series premiered on Disney+. “It seems that some of the fan base, from this influential fan base, have decided to attack Moses Ingram online and send her the most horrendous, racist DMs. And I heard some of them this morning and it just broke my heart,” McGregor says. He then continues by saying, “Moses is a brilliant actor.
