Just Got back from Seeing the Movie myself.

My response to this is "Yeah, Like Lando Calrissian didn't have a big part at all!" >:(

And Actually, that is one of the best Parts in The Empire Strikes Back.

Is the fact that even back in the 70's people were like "Where's all the Black People?"

So they had to include a black character.

Well, in Empire, they introduced Lando late in the story and he actually had a part to play in the story! (applause)

If The Empire Strikes Back was done today Lando would show up on Hoth 7 Minutes into the Movie Played by Marlon Wayans and would be like "WHOA! Hey, I'm Han's Wacky Black Friend Lando Calrissian, and I'm going to tag along on the Search for Luke out in the Frozen Tundra!"

3 I remember after the first Star Wars movie, an article in Jet magazine asked if Star Wars was racist because there were no black actors in it except for the voice of James Earl Jones.

I'm waiting for the race card to wear out so we can be done with this bullshit!

If you just saw the movie then maybe you can explain something.

As I understand it, this leading character who is Black is a Storm Trooper - right?

How is that possible, given that all Storm Troopers are clones of Jango Fett?

There's a Star Wars/Blazing Saddles joke in there somewhere.
