haaave you met Star Trek fans? you should see what they're saying about a minor character (Robert April) that was white in a
cartoon from 50 years ago, and is now currently black. he literally has like 4 lines but Star Trek Klan showed up with pitchforks to defend "canon and continuity".
the problem is that a lot of these actors have been saddled with crappy scripts and direction the past few years (TLJ, RoTS, Discovery, Picard) so many of the characters turned out crap, white or not. but then the racists see that as their chance to jump in and attack the actors themselves, so between that and actual legitimate criticism you get a giant toxic mess.
good of Ewan to address it directly, but sadly nothing will make these online dickweeds go away in Star Wars or any other franchise.
