Lemme say this: I 💗 Ms. Moses Ingram. I think she did a great job portraying her character in the way the directors, script & contract told her to do. I know she studied cos you can see it. But that material was the Cliff Notes & y'all know it.
A #StarWars fan had it accurate: Prolly, the best books she could read outside of the Old Legends Inquisitorius, which is fundamentally confusing, is -- @DrewKarpyshyn Darth Bane Trilogy -- she's more like Zannah. Pieces can always help. I think Ms. Ingram would appreciate that.
Why do that when it's not necessary -- cos...YOU SHOULD HEAR WHAT SHONDALAND AND THE BRIDGERTON ACTORS ARE SAYING & HOW THEY PUT THAT SLOW BURN EFFECT... ALL the actors read Julia Quinn's books.
Lead actors literally are working with the directors on proper placements for the max effects with scenes EAGERLY...
Now, I get #Disney#Lucasfilm#StarWars can't go by their books since the Schism. That new story builds are important. Yet, NOTHING IS WRONG with a little backstory foundational setting, is it? A TINY reading list... Y'all can do that isht in your sleep.
#StarWars has brand new books that fans should be reading anyway. Lots of them already do read them - cover-to-cover with highlights & tap tabs if not dog eared. Then you have your awesome new authors happy to answer questions as they can within limits. For a "lay of the land"
I have no problem with Ms. Ingram or her performance, but I can feel the uncertainty & it's not her acting ability cos that's not the problem. It's the cognitive dissonance you all put her in. And doing that -- yeah, lemme give you some history: That's segregation.
And dimwit #StarWars fans see that as an invitation to target their attack cos they WANT SEGREGATION...
And y'all put this young woman out there. Now she can handle it, yet. But it's wrong to do that.

Look see, we'll say criticism cos that's what fans understand. You need receipt on your critique #StarWars fans. Periodt.
You need to say, I didn't like Moses Ingram's performance as Reva cos she _____ when a Dark Side user is sposed to ______
Of course I disagree w/that
Moses Ingram was told not to study Star Wars extensively to get a flavor of what IS they kind of character she's representing. THEY told her that. They wanted authentic acting brought to the table as delivered & she did that. Quite well.
Why Disney Lucasfilm Star Wars tells their actors that? Cos of the schism. Intertwining them is...they want to steer clear. It's an art to do it. At SWAG77 we've been doing this since the Schism.
#Reva knew. Here's the clincher - did the babies know? Did Luke and Leia really know? Did #DarthVader know that Luke & Leia were his kids? NO! That's not going to change from the OT. Ever. That's the rule.
Blunt: Gina Carano knows why she was fired. She couldn't do her job. Like read the script, say the lines by acting them. That's what you're hired to do. Actors do this professionally as contracted & negotiated. You can't forget your lines. Or show up late.
fact remains there are ♾ X ♾ professional actors that will take that role & do it better according to contract.
She FAIL that process. Sorry.
Aside from #MosesIngram being a Yale graduateS-he did her job, played the role, had experience, & followed her contract, prolly showed up early cos homegirl's about to be some sorta producer eventually & wanted to learn, & most importantly KNEW HER LINES FROM THE SCRIPT #StarWars
