The new black guy in the Star Wars movies is racist.

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

In case you wondered.
And although Boyega’s hit film fantasy franchise, "Star Wars," has featured African-American actors such as Billy Dee Williams and Samuel L. Jackson, he said it's important for such franchises to think about representation on the big and small screens, especially in completely made-up universes.

"I ain't paying money to always see one type of person on-screen," the 25-year-old British actor, who was born to Nigerian parents, said. "Because you see different people from different backgrounds, different cultures, every day. Even if you're a racist, you have to live with that. We can ruffle up some feathers."
This actually lessens my enjoyment of his character in the movies.

He's also the new guy in Pacific Rim 2.
