Well, I woudn't go so far as saying LEGO should not produce color minifigs.

I think, like many others and LEGO itself, that yellow skins for all
minifigs is the best choice. It avoids dealing with racism issues and other
topics like that.

But, in the case of Mace Windu (and Lando Calrissian), I think that they
should produce brown skin. Mace and Lando are characters licensed from a
movie. They are not unknown minifigs from the town theme or such. Making
them yellow would be completely off because they represents actual persons
(characters). After all, Yoda's minifig IS green, no? And Chewbacca IS
brown. I know, they are not humans, but they comply to what the characters are.

Anyway, with the upcoming NBA theme, I think LEGO will have problems
explaining why all the players of each NBA team should be yellow...

(...) Yes, I see that lego would have problems, I just wanted my mace windu, I'm trying to make the rescue scene on Genosea, without the arena stands though. ~Evan Butzlaff (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, to add my 2 cents to this. LEGO has made one set before that had different colored people. Now the set is made up of the bendy arm people but the baby is a minifig, but they are red. The baby has a blank minifig head with minifig hair. (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)
