sure, but I meant none of this stuff is needed to move the story along.
Tolkien's final published words more or less unanimously point towards Galadriel being 6'4" [ish] tall and a peerless beauty, but neither's really material to the main thrust of the story, so it doesn't matter that they went with a very different casting. they could do something similar for Harad and its population and it wouldn't really matter.
True, there is no particular need to explore the South beyond the Havens of Umbar, although I wouldn't mind if that happens (depending on how it turns out). However, it makes perfect sense to cast folk of Far Harad as persons of color and it works well with Amazon's current policies. There are no good reasons NOT to do that unless the issue is never raised in the first place.
A chief reason that I was disappointed that Amazon never followed through with the proposal to base a series on the early travels of Aragorn II is that I wanted to see our favorite Ranger interact with the diverse cultures and peoples of the distant East and far South.
