@limburger – From a tweet if have read within the last hour, and I don’t know where to check it, but demographically speaking only 11% of the world’s population is white.  And only 49% male, except I think in China where their 1 child policy really screwed things over.

So basically if you are white and male, which what you write leads me to believe you are, you are, in fact, in the minority, globally speaking.

Hollywood is becoming more aware of that, and a true capitalist does care where the money comes from.  Box Office is becoming more of a global thing.

So if you don’t like “diversity” on the big screen, in writers rooms, you are screwed.

You also never questioned why the major of the characters of the original trilogy were white male humans.

It is a fictional universe, we don’t what the demographics are.  There could be more non-humans than humans.

We do know that the Empire was an analogue of the Nazis and the Empire were anti-nonhuman – Thrawn being a rare exception that proves the point.
