Why did people complain about Scarlett Johansson white washing Motoko from Ghost in The Shell when the character she's portraying isn't any race at all?Motoko is a machine/cyborg and can have any appearance she wishes. (In the original movie IN THE END her body is that of an appearance of a child...)
Also, the reason why they chose Scarlet for the role is because she is a notable actress and hardly anyone outside the anime community has even heard of Ghost in the Shell before the movie was announced! Her name alone is what would make people go into theatres! Star Wars is alot different hiring less notable actors since Star Wars is a name that most people recognize.
