Thank you for positive representation of redheads in the Star Wars Jedi series

I just wanted to drop a line here in case anyone at EA and/or Respawn reads these forums.  I wanted to thank EA and Respawn for the positive representation of redheaded males in the Star Wars Jedi series.  I was subjected to extensive bullying at school when I was a kid because I was the only kid in my class with red hair.  My experiences in life have taught me that redheaded men are widely thought of as 'other' by non-redheads.  I still cringe when someone doing stand-up comedy or paling around with his/her/their friends says that redheads have no soul.  EA's and Respawn's choice to make a redhead the hero of their Jedi games makes me feel seen and acknowledged by those in positions of power.  Thank you for that.

  • I know exactly what you mean! We have a saying in Germany:

    "Do you know why there are redheads? - Well, the Lord had to mark his elite somehow!"

  • Hey @jediChris78,


    Thank you for taking the time to express your appreciation for inclusivity. It is heartwarming to read that Respawn's choice to give Cal beautiful red hair has had such a positive impact on you.


    We are very sorry to hear that you had to go through bullying in school because of your (awesome!) hair colour. It's never easy to feel like you don't fit in or that you're being judged for something that is beyond your control. It's inspiring to see how you have turned those experiences into something positive and found strength in your identity.


    I'm glad that the game has made you feel seen and acknowledged by those in positions of power. Representation matters, and it's important for people from all walks of life to be represented in the media they consume.


    We champion and continue to create characters that represent diverse identities and experiences.


    Thank you for sharing your story and for reminding us of the impact that positive representation can have on people's lives.
