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 yellow as his minifig representation is. TLG just needs to
come out with a yellow minifig labeled "Lando Calrissian" and put the whole
issue to bed. They can then officially state that the yellow minifig is a pan-
racial representation of all human beings's varied skin tones.
Just imagine...
