Star Wars: The Bad Batch Darkened Clone Skin Tones After Accusations Of Whitewashing
The clones in the Star Wars universe are based on bounty hunter Jango Fett, played by Māori actor Temuera Derek Morrison. As such, they have a darker skin tone than many of the humans in that galaxy, far, far away. Fans of The Bad Batch TV show quickly noticed that the clone suqd's skin had been lightened in the animation, and began the #UnwhitewashTheBadBatch movement. It turns out the show's creators took notice, and the director Brad Rau has said corrections have been made. Speaking to Collider, (via Comic Book) Rau said "We listened to all the concerns of the fans. Interestingly, in Season 1, before season one came out, we're always doing this, we went back to look at the skin tones, and we made some corrections to make sure that we're being true to the legacy of the clones in Clone Wars. Absolutely, 100%." THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY RELATED: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Will Have 5 Fighting Stances, Including One With A Blaster It...
