Star Wars: Jedi Devs Pushed For Black Lead, Got Cal Kestis Instead

The Star Wars franchise has been making significant strides toward increasing representation of groups besides the standard white male lead in recent years, with the Sequel Trilogy starring Rey and 2017's Star Wars: Battlefront II featuring Iden Versio as the primary playable character in its single-player campaign.
