    Judging from our posts to this thread, I'm finding that we really agree
on most of the points of this issue, a relief for sure because i was getting
really depressed about some of the viewpoints that were expressed on this
issue by lugnetters.  But I definitely think that lucas has always made
certain that he's got positive black role models (does anyone remember ever
seeing a black imperial?), the exact characters that are black does eems to • be
a late decision in the character development though.

Except the first movie, where finding a non-european face is almost
impossible.  I think this happened in part because it was shot (mostly) in
England, but Lucas was roundly criticized for it.

Yeah, Bruce, you're certainly right.  I watched ep 4 again two nights ago and
the only black person that I counted was an extra in the mos eisley scenes.
apparently, though Lucas wised up. thank god.
