NO I’m sure he doesn’t and that anyone would think a black man playing a stormtrooper makes one whit difference is stupid.
Like he said I’m in the movie deal with it.
Wasn’t Darth Vader black in the original trilogy?
It's equally ridiculous to honestly expect that in 2015 Hollywood would churn out an epic addition to the Star Wars franchise and not cast a single black actor.
It does make a difference. Here’s why.
The Empire was supposed to be something of an allegory for the Nazis. IOW racist and supremecist. The Stormtroopers were supposed to evoke Aryanism and the perfect male human form. Hence Leia’s “you look short for a Stormtrooper” comment to Luke in Ep.4.
Having Black Stormtroopers makes as much sense as having Black Germans/Nazis in various WWII movies. Or having Black Klan members.
Thats the perspective Star Wars purists are coming from, and given that the Empire (now “First Order) was evil incarnate, it’s actually the diametric opposite of racism.
