During a conversation with George Lucas at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, the 'Star Wars' creator addressed some longstanding criticisms of his franchise for a perceived lack of diversity in its cast. 'They would say, ‘It’s all white men.' Most of the people are aliens!' he noted.
From what I remember, original star wars was filmed in London and Lucas didn’t realise until after filming that there wasn’t a black actor in the whole movie, which kinda dismayed him and led them to hire James Earl Jones. This is also why he specifically created Lando for Empire. Lucas has always been aware of the need for diversity and was one of the earlier proponents of it, it’s really silly for people to imply Lucas is racist. The only modern movie he’s ever directed was literally about a squadron of black pilots.
And he’s also married to a black woman. Strange behaviour for a supposed rascist.
The original voice is pretty fun :

David Prowse did the vocal takes seriously too. People may recognise him in Clockwork orange as the writer in the wheelchair’s … bodyguard? Servent?
Greedo was black, after Han shot first.
He was a perv, though
Edit: not saying he’s a pedo, at least not that I know of. But see my lower comment, he definitely was thinking with his dick sometimes is all I’m saying XD
I have tried googling, I can’t find anyone accusing him of anything specific, care to fill us in?
“there’s no underwear in space” to get Carrie Fisher naked under her robe thing. I’m sure she knew what was going on and there’s a lot worse people out there but George was still a bit of a horn dog lol
Being a horn dog isn’t a perversion it’s the default
Who Lucas? I mean name me one young guy with money who wasn’t thinking with his dick. I’m sure that’s why his marriage fell apart but he’s an old man now, with a new wife and a new Outlook who I’m sure has very little in common with his young self.
I say this as a guy who is finally reaching the age where I don’t want to fuck every woman I meet. Where I no longer need a new girl all the time. It feels like I’m an alcoholic who is slowly losing his taste for it and I feel great. People grow up.
