Topic	Was Watto from the Phantom Menace a racist stereotype?
Mussurana 09/27/25 3:19:24 PM #21:	Sariana21 posted... Serious question: how does one create realistic alien humanoid races without ending up with racial stereotypes? Arguably an easy trap to fall into. Especially given the temptation to go down the "Planet of the Hats" route. A truly alien civilisation would be very hard to write, and difficult for the audience to relate to. Hence the proliferation of ancient/foreign human civilisation plus prosthetic face wear we generally get. --- System error, signature not found. <cite>Mussurana posted [p:986551877] in Was Watto ...
