Renowned filmmaker George Lucas robustly defended his ‘Star Wars’ franchise against charges of insufficient diversity, speaking at the Cannes Film Festival where he is to receive the honorary Palme d’Or. Despite ongoing criticism concerning the racial makeup of his characters, Lucas pointed to the wide range of non-human characters populating his universe.
