Everyone loved Samuel L. Jackson as the heretofore Caucasian Nick Fury.

It's weird race never entered the equation.

I took Moose to the first Marvel movie with Nick Fury after the end credits- I can't remember which one it was (we saw them all, no shit).

When we saw the guy with the eyepatch, Moose said "Hey, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Cool."

That is a common misconception.  The clones were proto-storm troopers.  By the time A New Hope rolled around, they were made up of a polyglot of recruits using various means (we can assume everything from signing bonuses to conscription from worlds that "lost" to the Empire).

That explains the guy on the right.

PS: the complaint about Heimdall  being black had more to do with it not being true to the comics and mythology than to racism.

Worf made it clear that all Klingons are black.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

And Moochelle Obama just emphasizes the point.

Obviously blacks were discriminated against in the empire. Just look how Anakin and Palpatine treated Mace Windu.

Lots of rumors about Jabba not being happy and is making life miserable for the rest of the crew.

Over the years she has had competition...from Candy Crowley.
But it seems Candy(most inapt name ever) will be biting the dust first.
