Actor John Boyega has said non-white characters were "pushed to the side" by Disney in the last Star Wars film.
The Londoner played Finn in the latest trilogy, which concluded last year.
But he said the film-makers didn't know what to do with his and other diverse characters in The Rise of Skywalker.
"What I would say to Disney is do not bring out a black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are and then have them pushed to the side," he told GQ.
"It's not good. I'll say it straight up."
