To add to the discussion/reminder that Theron Shan is poc and not white: a seemingly small yet significant detail about his design-- true to both the game model and concept art-- is that his eyes are monolid.

This trait is shared with Satele Shan:

Monolids are common among people of East and Southeast Asian descent.

For my fellow artists out there; here's a guide on portraying Asian traits and avoiding whitewashing [*largely applies to East Asian]. I bring this up mainly cus I often see art portraying both Theron and Satele without their monolids.

Side note: though in-game Jace Malcom has double-lid eyes

I've seen instances where he also has monolids, like in cinematics. Felt this was something worth noting.

Overall, in any case: both Satele and Malcom are very obviously not white and have features notably absent from art of Theron, official and fan made.

Keeping Theron's parents in mind when portraying him is important even when things between official art, cinematic trailers, and in-game look a bit inconsistent and some speculativeness may be needed. Fan-artists and official artists alike often seem to struggle with giving Theron his parent's features, to show him with ethnic traits; that needs to change.

Bottom line: Theron is poc! Both of his bio parents are poc! And that should show in how he's visually portrayed!

White-ifying poc characters is bafflingly common in Star Wars media and fandom btw (I see whitewashed Clones very often for instance 😭). Let's kill this trend!! Please!!
