To All, (...) Boy, does that bring back some memories. It is hard to believe it has been three years. I am glad my minifigs speak in English, because I am not too knowlegable in Spanish, as I took French for 5 years. : ) As for Lando, I am glad they (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) Aren't you forgetting about a minor character who popped up in the first few movies by the name of Darth Vader? Personally, I think you guys have too much time on your hands. Instead of being happy that LEGO is becoming a more culturally (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) After reading the posts, perhaps the issue is no longer "Does yellow=white?" but rather, "Why aren't there more people of color in the mainstream media?" If we had a Star Wars-type franchise that was evenly distributed among White, Black, (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Always? I don't think so... the first we heard of that policy was at the release of the NBA figures. After all, Speilberg (if the director is Speilberg) is yellow, and Zidane (and he is Zidane) is yellow. Adieu Richie Dulin (2 URLs) Port (...)

(...) You assume incorrectly about what you think are my assumptions. "...what primary color would work best a "flesh" tone." I covered that. Nor did I say that there was any overt racial motivation. What I do believe is that Lego didn't think (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Well, that's true IF you believe that Lego's race card is played across all lines and all themes. From what I remember, they've always been adamant about the race card only pertaining to minifigs and only fictional ones at that. Personally, I (...)

(...) Actually, I remember hearing that they did polls to see what the public thought would be more appropriate. The public chose "yellow" (or at least "pre-existing brick color") over "flesh-tones". I'll grant you that at the time they probably (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

And if they aren't yet, they probably will be in a year or two, especially if that set ever hits retail store shelves. (...) That (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
