Also maybe the “man in black” that Del Toro plays is Gallius Rax from the Aftermath Trilogy.

I guess my real question was: how do you write an Asian character in Star Wars?

She was? I don’t remember that, at all. Got any page numbers (or just a chapter?) for me so I could go check?

Yes, she is Asian-Alderaanian.

I’m curious, did the book really refer to Asia when describing a character in the Star Wars universe?
