| | | Blah blah blah. I'm an Asian-American--which means I'm "yellow." So his whole time, Lego minifigs have been Asian-American. Right? Give me a break. Unlike flesh, the ABS plastic used to make Lego is specifically-colored--NOT gradients of other (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

The most consistent thing (with the LEGO yellow is neutral assumption) would be to release Mace and (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | | (...) Probably not. I think that LEGO has been going by a rule that normal HUMANS are all yellow. Maul is not a human, and Vader is no longer a normal human. Jar Jar is tan because he's not human. Chewie isn't human either. The Emperor, who (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | | All right, let's get to answering a REAL question: Why doesn't Lego put out a "Star Trek" line???!!! And if they do, I hope that green-blooded Spock is YELLOW! (Except, of course, for his blue uniform shirt and black pants.) Long live Lego! (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | (...) And this is the problem with licensing movies, books, etc. If the main character is to be "acurately" represented, there must be "colored" minifigs. This has not been done with Star Wars to date. Luke Skywalker (as seen in the movies) is not (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

They chose yellow because that was the standard Lego color closest to their perception of "flesh". I don't see this (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
