Isn't this a little racist from our beloved Jedi Master?


(by the way, it's my first post here!)


Welcome Z6PO.

This brings an important issue, something I've always wondered: the whole human-alien relationship in Star Wars. Seems to me the humans are the dominant majority, the one's ruling the galaxy and the whole history behind it...
