  I wondered if Jango was played by someone that was Maori or at least Polynesian (I'm assuming he is part Maori since you said he was a Kiwi actor).
  
  This sort of has to do with some professor claiming that 'Clones was discriminating against Mexicans and other poeple of color. He was saying that Jango looked hispanic and that he was a terrorist. Also, the clone army was based on him and where programmed to be more docilie, blah, blah, blah. Basically painting hispanics and people of color in a bad light.

    Yet one of the top Jedi is a black man. Yoda is green.

      I don't know, with acting like that even the black community might call Samuel Jackson white. And Yoda is just Kermit the Frog repackaged for space opera :) In the pilot for Star Trek, Kirk did it with a green chick...now that's entertainment :)

        Star Trek had two pilots. Kirk was not in the one with the green woman (the Orion). Instead it was the previous captain of the Enterprise, Captain Pike. Pike returned in "The Menagerie," a two part episode which reprised the entire pilot ("The Cage") and reunited Pike with his love (who was only temporarily an Orion). In fact, I believe the original copy of "The Cage" was lost and it was reconstructed from footage in "The Menagerie."

        I officially have no life.
