Hopefully now that John Boyega is the male lead of Ep7, Star Wars casting agents will at last get bold enough to let more than one person of color be visible on-screen per movie.
Personally, I'm still holding out for Asian actors to show up in the live-action GFFA. After all, GL did want to get Toshiro Mifune as Ben Kenobi..
Oscar winner Lupita Nyongo is in TFA as is newcomer Maisie Richardson, both black. Don't know how big their roles are though (AND DON'T WANT TO). It's also worth noting that Oscar Isaac is hispanic.
The lack of asian representation is strange, especially considering the heavy Japanese influence on the saga. Maybe in another new movie. Wasn't there a rumor about a martial arts actor getting cast for Rogue One?
Would you look at that... two asian actors in Rogue One.
Maurissa Tancharoen is not going to like that.
Why not?
