Star wars race confusion

I'm fully aware that it's incredibly easy to get races confused within the realm of Star Wars. However, in the case of mixing a Jawa with Jabba is not entirely forgiveable. But this is.

In case you were unaware, Lando Calrissian is a gentlemen who appears to be of African-American origin, although obviously he can't be because this is Star Wars and we're in a Galaxy far far away.

His name was well researched by myself, because nobody in the office one day could think of it.

One day, the question sprung up in conversation as random things generally do in my office.

It was driving me insane. It turned into one of those mutant questions that grows and grows until it's eating the entire left hemisphere of your brain.

In our office we have at least one 'quote of the week'. The recipient of the award usually goes to one of three people, and this week it was Jim.

Brian: Jim, what's the name of that black bloke in Star Wars?

Jim: What, Darth Vader?
