Seems like there's always been a black good guy in modern star wars.

That's like saying George Lucas was woke because of Lando.
Also the main bad guy in Mandalorian is black.

There's been a black guy in star wars since Empire... the horror. Are you advocating that no black people should be in Star Wars?

He's more Hispanic than black, but he obviously will be used to check both boxes because people are stupid.

You're being deceived. Moses Ingram had more screen time than the "main character". She is a black woman.

He's considered to be generally good with questionable tactics.
You clearly said black good guy and never said "main". You changed your standard.

So to be clear, you have a problem with tertiary characters because they are black?

Holy shite how'd you come up with that one?
What are you talking about? Where did I say anything about advocating against black characters?
Why are you so racially obsessed? There's something wrong with your brain.
I've been watching entertainment with black characters, both main and supporting my whole life, I've been listening to black musicians my whole life.
It's not me who requires a racial qualifier to watch any show.
This may shock you but...I wasn't involved in the production or casting decisions on any star wars content...

You seem mighty defensive about this. If you want particular races to meet your demands then start paying your dues to the activist organizations currently forcing lesbian kisses into content meant for little children.

Lol, sure guy.
I was responding to someone saying that the casting in Star Wars under Disney has been good guy black, bad guy white.
That just hasn't been true.

He said the good guys are diverse, and you are responding to it as if he said, the only lead is black?
Odd shimmy
Well, since nobody explicitly or implicitly said anything like this. . .are you just doing as bit?

Mandalorian isn't the only Star Wars thing in the last few years, and exceptions only disprove rules in VERY small data sets.
And also, he said movies. Mando is not a movie.

People like Kennedy and the wokesters working for her should really focus on Empire oriented shows. Authoritarianism is what they know and believe in and at least the content would be grounded in some knowledge if they wrote from that point of view. Trying to do the Jedi which is based on morals, self control and cohesion with the natural universe is totally foreign mentally for these people.

So, you go by the actor? I guess Darth Vader was half white and half black in the original trilogy since the voice and physical parts were by two different people?
I always considered Thrawn to be blue - he was blue in Rebels and I'm pretty sure he will be in Ashoka.
Anyways, I'll let ya'll get back to ya'll racial musings. I never really gave it much thought in Star Wars before this conversation, since there were so many characters of different species. Yoda, Chewbacca, Jabba, Ashoka, etc. etc. Not to mention the droids.
