Apart from his pay, which is considerable, George demanded only one thing-- an unaltered OT for himself. Curious, isn't it?

SHOW ME ONE CLEAR CUT EXAMPLE OF RACISM IN STAR WARS.
Not your opinion, an actual quote or actions from any of the movies to validate these rediculous, baseless accusations of racism.
***
"Sentient beings" in Star Wars, are all classified as either Force sensitive, or non-force sensitive.
WHERE IS THE RACE ISSUE EVIDENT?
***
All the children at the Jedi Temple are called "YOUNGLINGS".
SHOW ME THE RACISM IN CALLING the children of ALL COLORS, RACES and SPECIES, YOUNGLINGS!
***
IF RACISM EXISTED IN STAR WARS THEN LANDO WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN THE ADMINISTRATOR OF CLOUD CITY.
***
IF RACISM EXISTED IN STAR WARS THEN DARTH VADER WOULD WOULD BE WEARING WHITE!

Anakin fell to the Dark Side to save Padme. He thought helping Palpatine and killing the Jedi would give him the power to stop Death. That never happened and all he really did was go deeper and deeper into the Dark Side. Racisms had nothing to do with him going over to the Dark Side.

Forget about racism, where the hell are all the fat people in Star Wars? We only get Jabba the Hutt and he's disgusting!

If the Empire discriminates against non-humans, then the Empire discriminates against non-humans.
That's all it is.
Its the droids that bear the brunt of discrimination. Even other droids discriminate against one another.

I'm a bit surprised that no one has brought up the flagrant pod-racism of Episode I.

Star Wars, primarily, is about a relatively personal journey - Anakin Skywalker's fall from grace and his eventual redemption.
Secondary to that is the backdrop to all of this, which is the story of how people hand over their liberty to a dictatorship.
How evil men can come to power.
And how the line between good and evil can be a fine one.
It's about all oppression; all injustice and all inequality.
Everybody comes from some kind of demographic, so what is interesting is that people tend to identify this rather general meditation on oppression, and relate it to their own lives.
"It's about racism - where are the coloured Imperial Troops?"
"It's about male chauvinism - where are the Imperial ladies?"
"It's about ageism - Ani is not taken seriously by the elders."
"Luke's too short to be a stormtrooper? Hey, what's wrong with short guys?"
And so on.
Everybody can put themselves into the "underdog" category, and people often like to do so: it's human nature to wave a banner saying "look at poor little me. I'm being hard done to. I deserve more."
I'm not saying this is never justified, of course - just that I find it interesting that general works of fiction can be pounced upon by so many different demographics - "That film really understood my plight..."
So to me, it's about all oppression.
Mace is not there to represent black people - he's there to represent the Jedi Council.
Leia is there to represent plucky, spirited individuals from all walks of life. Not just ladies. Or royalty 
If the Empire discriminates against non-humans, then the Empire discriminates against non-humans.
That's all it is.
To read anymore into it all is to interpret the movie.
Which is fine, but it is just an interpretation.
It's not like it is actually there as part of the GFFA...
uh, correction, Mace isn't there to represent the Council, he's there to represent his... BAD SELF! heh heh.

Anakin talked to Yoda because he's going over Obi-wan's head to the Grand Master of the Jedi Order. Yoda has 877 years of experience and wisdom. Far more than Obi-wan or even Mace Windu. As Lucas describes the scene, Anakin's going to the gods for help. Anakin went to Master Windu because he's the other senior Jedi Master there. And Mace was the one who sent Anakin to tell Palpatine that Obi-wan was now engaged in battle against Grievous. When Anakin arrives to tell him what he has learned, Mace is on his way with the other Posse members to give Palpatine an update. Anakin had shut off his comlink, so he couldn't inform him first. So they went to inform Palpatine and see to it that Palpatine hands over control back to the Senate.

Something, something, something complete."

You could try to limit the personal attacks on GL and especially his daughters. They may not realize the users posting it are nothing more than superficial internet cowards trying to make themselves feel better.
