The breakdown also only includes feature films, and doesn’t include those who have worked on Star Wars TV series like Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.
A new report reveals that in 41 years of the Star Wars franchise, 96 percent of writers and directors hired by Lucasfilm for the movies are white men.
The episodic storyline was relaunched with J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015, but Disney and Lucasfilm also put standalone anthology movies into development, the first of which was Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in 2016.
To be clear, this breakdown of representation only looks at those who are writing and directing Star Wars movies; Ryan made note that the Star Wars movies released since 2012 have made strides in terms of more diverse casts and characters.
