J. Abrams. He also took issue with [[DecoyProtagonist the marketing pushing him, a black man, as the new protagonist]], and then [[DemotedToExtra reducing his role]] in favor of white characters, also noting how Creator/KellyMarieTran had many of her scenes cut from ''The Rise of Skywalker'' on top of keeping her away from the main journey. Nonetheless, he has stated that he is open to a return to the franchise if his concerns are heeded and his co-stars join him, and has consistently spoken praise of Abrams.
