Inclusiveness for inclusiveness sake is disgusting. Whether that be based on race, religion, Creed, physicality, or mental health, it's disgusting because it implies someone that is different for whatever reason is inferior, therefore could not hold that position or be whatever it is without specific help.
lol, no. That is not at all what it implies. How do you jump from inclusiveness to implied inferiority? Given the number of named characters across star wars media, we're at a point where it's expected to see characters with congenital differences.

This includes when an actor or actress is chosen for a role, that is not predefined, ie there's a reason Samuel L Jackson didn't play Obi Wan, based solely on some of these traits as opposed to their ability to act.
What? I'm guessing Samuel L. Jackson didn't play Obi Wan because they released the first movie back in '77, when SLJ was only 29 years old. Doesn't quite fit the bill of old man. And it'd be weird to get that role and reprise it 2 decades later as a younger version of ones self.

Which brings us back to drogan, why does he exist? Because someone at cg specifically decided they wanted someone with a disability in the game. If lucasfilm wanted this, he could absolutely have been introduced into another media first....there's even a show out right now that would have been the perfect media. As someone who, in spite of his limb difference, risked everything, joined the rebellion, showed that he was capable and led others in the fight against an empire that would have been actively discrimating against simply because of his disability. But no, we have a disabled person so we can have a disabled person.
We have a person because people exist.
