I have no idea why this particular actress would be cast. Honestly, why?
That being said, I wouldn’t harass her about it, but I wouldn’t go see a movie with inexplicable casting decisions either.
Casting decisions are important.
“I have no idea why this particular actress would be cast. Honestly, why?”
I strongly suspect she was cast because she was Asian. Just about every major movie casts some asians because it increases sales in china and japan. In the case of TLJ it didn’t work since the movie was such a dog.
Because the people at Lucasfilm wanted to appeal to Chinese audiences and get more Chinese money. Only problem is that the studios were pretty racist for treating all Asian ethnicities as one.
