Okay. And that's that much worse than the anti-semitism and other blatant racism in the other movies, how? I found the hutt character extremely offensive, but no more than, say, Jar Jar, Nute Gunray, or Watto

Who are these people and why are they racist/anti-semetic? Well, I know Jar Jar, kind of, never watched the movie... Basically all my familiarity with Star Wars comes through the KOTOR games and having seen the movies as a kid. I'm curious now.

Jar Jar, I think, is racist because the way he speaks is similar to the negative stereotype of a black slave, or at least that is what I have heard. Watto I have never really reflected on, but because he has a big schnoz and likes money I guess he could be a shot at the jews? Or maybe his accent is offensive somehow? Iunno really. Nute Gunray is someone I don't even think I've ever heard of.

I vaguely recall hearing somewhere that Nute Gunray is a negative stereotype of the Chinese. I don't remember why, and I'm positive my grammar is completely off in my first sentance. OH WELL.

Nute Gunray (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nute_Gunray) is from a race of aliens who resemble and dress very similar to Asians. He has "slanted eyes". His voice somewhat resembles bad dubbing common in older kung-fu movies.

As far as Watto goes, I think the tv tropes article (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpaceJews) might just show it best. He's an incredibly unlikeable character... and has a lot of old-fashioned anti-semitic stereotypes to him. I'm sometimes willing to believe that that one might be one of those accidental sort of stereotypes, but when you get to the Neimoidians, Nute Gunray in particular, it's harder to believe that.

The Neimoidians (http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/List-of-Star-Wars-races%23Neimoidian#N) are characterized as hive-minded, greedy traders with noticeably heavy asian accents and tilted eyes. Their greed allows them to be manipulated by a white guy (Palpatine) into letting Palpatine do what he wants with the galaxy. So even though it's a white dude who causes all the problems, when he's using Jar Jar and the Trade Federation to accomplish it, one begins to wonder what the implications of it all are.

And while you can argue that the imperials were given British accents, I think it's interesting that that has actually been retconned into just being a "Coruscanti" accent, making it posh and high-class. A totally different implication, all things considered.
