i don't need luck

“i never wish to be parted from you from this day on.” 

Her name is Callie Lou-Bee Haywood and here’s the gofundme link if you’re able to help!

also wow Natalie is super pale in those photos though not surprised since that is very sadly very common in Hollywood to lighten skin color

i mean star wars does need to have more diversity 1000%

(Not my post, but linking my reblog of it because that way I’m 100% sure it won’t disappear down the line, as posts on other blogs on tumblr are wont to do.)

Other known mixed-race actors in the Star Wars universe:

Oscar Isaacs - Guatemalan, Cuban, French

Harrison Ford - Ashkenazi Jewish, Irish, German

Temuera Morrison - Māori, Scottish, and Irish descent 

Diego Luna - Mexican, Scottish and English descent

Andy Serkis - English and Iraqi descent

Greg Grunberg - Ashkenazi Jewish

Jimmy Smits - Puerto Rican, Dutch

Rebecca Jackson Mendoza - Spanish-Filipino, German

Alden Ehrenreich - Ashkenazi Jewish, British

So…you know…it’s kind of a tradition in Star Wars, the casting of multi-racial actors and actresses.

@saltysithh said: “mmkay, yes, there should be more colored women in star wars. then we get Kelly Marie Tran, an Asian woman, who plays Rose and a huge chunk of the fandom continuously shits all over her and says incredibly racist shit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ she isn’t a lead role, but that doesn’t excuse the racism.”

I know you weren’t replying to me, but you make a good point.  Also look at how much the fandom shits all over Finn in support of Reylo shipping…

You also bring up a good point (albeit obliquely) because so far, we’ve only had two female leads in the SW universe - Rey and Jyn Erso.  Played by white women.   The first three on the original list up there are in supporting roles.

(For that matter, Alden Ehrenreich is the first man of color in a lead role in a Star Wars movie.  As much as I adore John Boyega and Harrison Ford, they were both in supporting roles.)
