because they wanted to go with Cameron Monaghan and base a character around him.
Is that a walking Manatee? Oh come on EA, why did you pull the plugI mean, Visceral's Ragtag also had a white male protagonist - but he was actually gritty and interesting. Tbf it was too interesting for EA/Lucasfilm and they cancelled it though...
It's not about him being a white man. It's about the character in the trailer not standing out with anything from 1000 other game characters looking pretty much the same. It doesn't even capture the actor to well with it's very cartoons look. And the animations looked kind of stiff.
Hopefully the gameplay will look better.

Only if the boxart has a guy standing with his back facing the audience. Then that would be the kicker.
Huh... extra cosmetic items and a behind the scenes documentary? That's actually...reasonable bonus content for a change.
His master/teacher is a Black Lady though, she was just shown at the panel, so that's something cool.
I came in excited for this game, and I'm very disappointed with this
Gameplay is clearly what matters in a jedi game. I can't get excited from a generic trailer with dark, sterile environments in a franchise that can clearly do better.

Cmon bruh that's exactly what it means. We've got people saying Arthur Morgan is generic. Generic is just a code for white dude lol.
The writing in this trailer was cliche as fuck. If it's generally good, they didn't roll with a good representation.
I guess Stig really liked Man of Steel or something? I hope Not Kyle Katarn's dad or legal guardian dies in as memetacular a way like Pa Kent did with the tornado he chose to walk into. Maybe they walk into a Force Tornado? Or a Tattooine sand storm?
Well, fuck me then. Pack it up folks. We don't need anymore female protagonists. They already got the integral and oh so important Iden Versio.
By the way, Lucasfilm could you please go back in time and destroy Rogue One from being made. I mean, females already got Rey with The Force Awakens, how dare you make the protagonist of Rogue One, Jyn Erso, a female?
Edit: Answered. :)
You don't have to say this to me lol
Blame Disney and EA but it's their choice, they made the game.
I think he's got a pretty solid worker like design. Reminds me of Issac from deadspace in a weird way. I think the design is good, it's just that from what they showed he hasn't displayed much of a personality.
Some of these takes on ERA about him are a little cringey tho.
they don't need to have a justification for having a PoC protagonist regardless of other games
they also don't need to justify having a white male protagonist
Will hold judgement until I see gameplay, trailer was nice though. EA definitely trying to get that star wars buzz afhter the movie trailer dropping yesterday.
Yeah, but it was hot garbo, lol.

Wish I got this game instead. Not even about the lead being white he just looks uninteresting whereas this lead for the canceled game doesnt. Hell I'm one of the biggest XB2 fanboy on this site and love Rex and Shulk to death.
While I'm somewhat disappointed in the protagonist being a white guy, it is worth noting how rare that is for Star Wars these days. The sequel trilogy, Rebels, Rogue One, Battlefront II, all of those had diverse leads. Even the comics have break-out characters like Doctor Aphra. I can kinda let it slide for this one, especially considering his mentor character is a Jedi Knight who happens to be a black woman.
I'd say a babyfaced male protagonist is actually kind of unique. Not that I really like it, but it stands out
They said because it was star wars celebration they wanted to focus on the story and world part.
