Because Asians don't like Black people. We are not part of Asia. This post making it seem like John had anything to do with the movie's success is utterly ridiculous just like it was with anyone suggesting Hayden Christiansen had anything to do with the prequels success.
Star Wars is a brand, a massive brand. It would have been successful no matter who the lead was. Well no. If the lead had been a gay man or woman it would have been boycotted, but other than that, it would have been successful no matter who the lead was.
