Absolutely. I think George’s only intentions were to make a lived in universe and make something that has a cultural heritage and history to it. He studied anthropology when in college. He lives and breathes understanding why we as a society and individual make the choices we do. I think the first six films truly show that. I don’t think he had any ill intentions with any of the characters you mentioned or even the Tusken Raiders. He was just making something that would help the stories stay grounded in some kind of reality. Ahmed Best has spoken of this before and I have no doubt if he had a problem with the way Jar Jar was portrayed he would have spoken up to George about it. He also called him a generous collaborator. So I think George would’ve listened if he got the impression he was being insensitive but I don’t think he was. It’s a science fantasy fairytale fable and he treated it as such.
