That's only because contextually there has been some misconceptions about the character in question which needed to be answered. Calling attention to the fact that the character belongs to a Star Trek film rather than a similarly budgeted, similarly hyped movie from the same director causes more derailment than correcting a misremembering of that character's origin story.

So far there have been four Star Wars directors.

I must confess that I've only seen three of Kersh's films and two of Marquand's and quite a lot of Lucas and JJ related material.

I can't remember Robocop 2 being more racist and sexist than Robocop and The Pies of Laura Mars was nowhere near as troubling as your average Brian DePalma movie of the time. Pie of the Needle didn't make much of an impression on me at all.

Lucas hasn't just been clumsy with race in a Star Wars context, he may not have directed any Indiana Jones film but he did play a large role in their creation. Temple of Doom in it's attempt to pastiche became as racist as the material it was inspired by. Similarly Sallah and Brody went from being well rounded figures in Raiders to being cultural stereotypes in The Last Crustade.

Other than the second Trek movie I can't see how Colonel Abrams has overstepped the mark beyond the OS with it's Nuclear Wessels and the like but the second one was a bit more naughty than we have come to expect these days.

Contextually mentioning it in this thread makes sense as these are the directors of the the Star Wars films.

It paints a picture beyond the films in situ.

George clearly wanted to merge the Bedouin with the Native American as depicted in Westerns for the Tuskens. It's disguised enough to work in the seventies but Watto really doesn't sit well with me.

I think there has to careful consideration when it comes to how these motifs are presented.
