Look at Loki. The leads are Tom Huddleston and Owen Wilson
Not exactly the epitome of diversity that people are freaking out that these guidelines require.
Lol. Did you watch Loki season 2? The cast is very diverse. Congrats. You picked out the two white males.

these guidelines dictated that it couldn't just be a Vader and Kenobi show
Where is your proof that these guidelines forced them to go away from what they originally wanted to do?

I think a RusAsian would have killed that role.

So you have no original script that was edited or anything? Youre just assuming because there was a black chick in the show that the original idea was for the show to only be kenobi and vader but they were forced to change the entire script because they couldn't find any other way to add a character?

Anyone listening to the earnings call at 3:30?

Since you like "top billing":
The four main characters are Obi-Wan (white), Vader/Anakin (white), Leia (white), and Reva (black). That's 75% white, 25% "underrepresented"
Their guidelines quite literally show that she had to be added because, if not, it would not reach the 50% that they mandate. And the 50% has to be regular and recurring so she had to be a major part of the show. By their words in the "Series Premise" section, she had to be "meaningfully integrated into overall themes and narratives". Sung Kang would be the only other "underrepresented" actor that would help qualify but his character falls more into the secondary character slot (section A3).
So yeah, regardless of what their original script was (your response intended to change direction) the answer is that they couldn't find another way to add the character because their own guidelines dictate that they can't just sideline her.

Wow, you really are a dufus.
Look at the picture you posted. 66% of the people in that picture are black. That's overrepresentation.

Isn't that OVER represented if we are looking at percentage of Demographics?

You guys wanna blame Kenobi sucking on the villain being a black chick rather than the villain sucking cuz of shitty writing..
You should be able to acknowledge that casting the black chick is an integral part of the shitty writing process. The casting, and the show, are shitty by design, as is the case with Disney's practice of hiring by racial quota.

Poor groomer. He stopped your censorship machine and now he may stop Disney from promoting everything that is wrong with the current state of the country.
I hope he does just to watch people like you implode.
"Oh no! Mickey Mouse can no longer tell my wife's son that he should chop his dick off! How can Elon keep getting away with this!!"

Except no Mickey Mouse character ever said this in the real world. This is a fantasy created in your own imagination... That's not healthy.
