BALTIMORE — One of the stars in the new Disney Plus series Obi-Wan Kenobi is from West Baltimore.
Moses Ingram graduated from the Baltimore School For the Arts - and then went on to Yale.
She was nominated for an Emmy, for her role in the Netflix show the Queen's Gambit.
Now - on Obi-Wan Kenobi, she plays Reva - one of the empire's "inquisitors" trying to hunt down and kill any remaining Jedi.
There’s a video on Twitter of Ingram opening a newly released action figure of her character.

Those action figures are currently on sale in stores.
Ingram now says she's been getting a lot of hateful comments on social media, since last week’s series premier.
She posted some of those comments on her Instagram page.
A tweet from the official Star Wars Twitter account is standing up for Ingram, writing that if anyone does not welcome her to the Star Wars universe, "we resist."
