Far from it. That would be the continued misuse of the term.
Since this sista has been a part of Lucas' life, he's injected more black folk into his material, and even produced a black film, Red Tails.
I'm sure he still has influence but I kinda hate that he sold the franchise to Disney.
At this pace, that sista would have made him cast Farrakhan as a Jedi Master.
y'all are giving lucas too much credit. jj abrams is the reason there's more diversity in the new star wars film. if it were up to lucas, we would have probably gotten 1 random black male background character, or worse, another jarjar binks.
