Cuella's theory rests on the premise that the character Jango Fett is the allegorical representation of Hispanics in Lucas' myth-based world. The only problem is that Fett is played by Temuera Morrison, a New Zealander of Maori descent. This, ironically, places Cuella in the same camp as white racists who see all dark-skinned people as some monolithic threat. Mexican or Maori really doesn't seem matter when you are trying to expose The Great White Lucas Conspiracy.

I once watched a movie where the heavies were a 7 foot tall, monstrous race clad in glowing green fur. They also had fangs and claws.

At least one review that I read described this monsters disparagingly as "obvious Negro stereotypes." (This was in 1980, so Negro, capitalized, was still the polite and 'scientific' term.)

No logic will make an impression on a reviewer desperate to show how sensitive s/he is. If they can look at a 7 foot glowing green monster and see a black man, why not see Latinos in Lucas' creations?

I suspect that they spent most of the 1960s looking at men (of whatever color) and seeing 7 foot glowing green monsters.
