I just bought the new flash speeder and wondered why they put an unnamed
figure in rather than an actual character.  I thought that this would be a
perfect opportunity to include Captain Panaka, since he was driving the
speeder in the movie.  With that thought came the realization, I don't know of
any black minifigs.  Not that I think that this is some kind of prejudice or
intentional slight.  It is just that, short of painting my figure, I have no
way of creating a Captain Panaka, or a Lando Calrissian for that matter.  Am I
off base here? Has anyone else noticed this or questioned this before? Will
these characters ever see the light of day?  And are we ever going to see
stormtroopers?

Just something to ponder.
