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.
George Lucas shouldn’t get so much shit for this. Disney should. John Boyega’s character Finn got sidelined in the sequel sequels partly because of the concern that the movie wouldn’t do well overseas. He was removed entirely from the movie posters for Force Awakens in China.
