Onscreen, outer space is often packed with imaginative characters that come in literally all colors – but how does real-life racial diversity factor into these stories? In the seventh episode of Hollywood Remixed, the Rebeccas explore the way sci-fi has dealt with race, from actors of color being caricatured or tokenized in supporting roles to the genre's frequent use of allegories to depict racial intolerance. They'll also discuss the two biggest space franchises - Star Trek and Star Wars - and their inclusion of characters of color before sitting down with The Rise of Skywalker's John Boyega to talk about his journey to playing the ex-stormtrooper Finn and how he's handled social media as one of the major characters of color in Hollywood's biggest and most enduring franchise. Disclaimer: We apologize for the bad audio during the Boyega interview, but we had some technical difficulties that resulted in unfavorable audio.
