I thought having women and PoCs as Imperial officers and stormtroopers in more recent media wasn't a bad choice, per se, but I likely would not have done it.

Across the board, there hasn’t been an effort to expand roles for different demographics. It seems to be just hiring more minorities to play roles scriptwriters wrote for white millennial men, rather than writing scripts that tell stories for someone other than white millennial men.

I'll keep this in mind next time I'm watching space wars slop.

Every single imperial officer is a white british guy in a Nazi uniform!

there was some very on the nose non- huMan shit in some of the books about admiral girlboss. i think you can cast women and PoC in those roles but you have to do some really funny 4-th wall kinda shit like literally get fox news's token minorities for the parts. bonus points if you can screw them financially while you're at it.
