Disney has done quite a good job making sure the new Star Wars movies have a relatively diverse cast. The upcoming film “Rogue One“, which is set for release later this year, stars Asian superstar Donnie Yen as a Jedi Master along with other Asian cast members.
Such inclusions will certainly make Asian fans of Star Wars happy, but what if we had more heroes of Asian descent in the Star Wars universe? Now, thanks to a newly released Star Wars fan film, we can continue to let our imaginations run wild.
The film “Hoshino”, directed by Stephen Vitale, stars actor Anna Akana who plays a blind Jedi master who recounts her younger years training with her master. The film follows the story of how she became blind and eventually one with the force. It’s certainly an excellent film to watch and will leave viewers begging for more.
