Somehow I doubt that he’s playing a stormtrooper anymore than Luke and Han were “stormtroopers” when they went to rescue the princess.

Remember the bar scene in the first film?
[Ponda Baba gives Luke a rough shove and starts yelling at Luke in an alien language which Luke doesn't understand]
Dr. Evazan: [explaining] He doesn't like you.
Luke Skywalker: Sorry.
Dr. Evazan: [grabbing Luke] *I* don't like you either. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.
Luke Skywalker: I'll be careful.
Dr. Evazan: You'll be dead!
Black Stormtropers?
The storm troopers in Star Wars are clones. Theyare clones of the bounty hunter, Jango Fett.
I don’t see how there could be a black clone from a white bounty hunter. And if memory serves me there are about 3/4 billion clones in the stormtrooper army.
As for being white, Jango Fett was Mandalorian, some alien humanoid race.
The writer totally sidestepped any talk of slavery in the Star Wars universe as well.
Did people forget Billy D. Williams’ role?
The whole theme of the second movie was that a Black man would betray his friend because he wanted the white woman.
The first, of course, was built around nazi themes and pageantry.
Who ever fits the Stormtrooper Armour gets the job ,D’oh
Also, Luke wasn’t born on tattooine.
Hey, they came up with a black Vulcan on that one Star Trek series, so who knew?
On the trailer thread yesterday, somebody reposted a great tweet that went something like this:
The look on the black stormtrooper’s face was when he realized he was only the third black man in the history of the galaxy.
Or,
Stormtrooper just looked under his breastplate armor and realized he was wearing a red shirt...
