1. it’s the white boy bible and that’s just the way it is no judgement there but let’s be real.

2. This shit is getting absurd.

3. It’s true there’s a lack of diversity in most stories originating in the 80s-90s. But Disney owns this now and is responsible for inclusion issues. They did bring a black woman into starwars series though. I was happy about it, but Reva Sevander actress in Obi-Wan Kenobi series had to endure a lot of racism, which is unfortunate. You’d figure in a story with tons of aliens and cyber people that racism in the fanbase wouldn’t be a thing. It’s very disappointing.

4. He’ll add more diversity in the upcoming special special edition. There will be tons of non-white people just meandering in the desert.

5. Not every piece of media from every time period has to be “diverse”.

6. Aliens are people?

7. Come on, the main antagonist is black

8. I mean, isn’t Lando a very important character in the original trilogy? Not to mention Samuel L. Jackson’s Master Windu in the prequels.

9. Comments from critics like that knew someone that wanted a job in the Star Wars universe (didn’t get it) or didn’t make the cut in the acting tryout.

   Critics, tell your bitter friends to make their own Star Wars with their own demographic choices and see how that works out.

10. Looking forward to the next all black Star Wars movie.

    🙃

11. Jar jar isn’t white

12. It’s like he can’t talk about racism so aliens!? This is so basic and stupid. Like-Han shot first, and you need to just stop talking.

13. It’s not a Sensis.

14. Its pretty funny because Hollywood wasnt that White male dominated as people make it to be. but noone really rememberes the old days where story matters and movies were for Entertainment and not lecturing society

15. I’m honestly surprised I don’t see a conversation more often about how comically racist the prequel trilogy gets, especially the first movie.

    Between the trade federation and Wato there are some wildly racist stereotypes at play in that movie.

16. ….**This** **is** **my** **girlfriend**, Beru. – Hello…..

17. Okay I mean was it disproportionate in the 70s-80s? For sure… just like every other movie back then. Then you’re making movies about the same characters and their parents, obviously they’re also gonna have to have to be white. But other than that I had no issues with this at all, like what would they have had him do?

18. Darth Vader is voiced by James Earl Jones. Star Wars always had talented black actors.
