Chinese state media has hit back against claims that the poster for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" used in mainland China deliberately leaves out or downplays characters of color.
Fans complained on Twitter earlier this week that British actor John Boyega, who plays Finn in the movie, had been shrunk on the Chinese poster. Other characters played by non-white characters, including Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron and Lupita Nyong'o's Maz Kanata were missing entirely, as was Chewbacca the Wookiee.
Not everyone was on board with the Star Wars criticisms, Chinese state-run newspaper the Global Times quoted several local analysts who claim "the change has nothing to do with racism."
"Since the poster is merely a promotion method and an individual case, it would be unfair to criticize Chinese audiences for discriminating against the black actor," the paper quoted Chen Qiuping of the Beijing Film Association as saying.
