Lando, Mace and Finn aren't main characters. Even if they are, they're token.

I'll give you Mace and Lando, but Finn is absolutely a main character.

Horribly written but still.

Nah, Finn is side trash. The ST is just about Rey and Kylo.

Rey didnt even show up until like half an hour into TFA. Finn's definitely the main character in TFA.

I do wish they just went and turned Finn into a jedi, but then again, I wished a lot of things for that trilogy.

No excuse for the PT or ST

At least make Qui Gon black
Hmmmn Padme coulda been half Dominican
Kylo shoulda been half black, hes actually Leia and Lando son

Not a lot of whites in Harlem then (gentrification had not set in yet).

Presumably, you could find a fucking few blacks, Latinos and Asians in space though. You know, that great expanse beyond the planets?

Might take some imagination, but that is what sci-fi is about.

Half of that list is meme era of the same family. It would make sense for all of them to look like each other.

But as far as ethnic diversity, Star Trek>Star Wars.

Han is white, but the second best character in the franchise is black.

Mace fucking Windu, of course.
