I don't particularly think it's "offensive". Personally believe it's more a dumb mischaracterization. Dude has no armor, helmet or sword. He's blind and has a staff weapon. If anything, he would be more like those blind, Shaolin monks in martial arts movies. Now if the Japanese samurai label was put on the other Chinese brother (actor Wen Jiang). That would make some sense. Least he could pass for that type character. Thank goodness none of you guys made the mistake of this Daily Mail UK Online writer:

F*ing "Ninja"! Seriously? I'm gonna start saying leprechauns are English.
I'm an equal opportunity offender. If you're going to overgeneralize, please do so with half a clue.
This cracked me up. Hoping the Grand Admiral/Intelligence Service guy played by Aussie Ben Mendelsohn keeps a touch of Queen's English in this role.
You guys make great Galactic Empire villains with that posh accent.
Think the Making Star Wars site also said Death Star Gunner.
Regardless of all this over analyzation, just wanted a really good movie.
Think they knocked it out of the park.

So why do stormtroopers have to miss all the time???? WAHHHHHHH that's racist!!!.... lol really....?
Wait. I just said I could understand if you felt the aesthetic was incompatible with "Star Wars" for you. So when did this become all about race again? Stormtroopers can't hit white people, droids or wookies, either.

I still don't get the "racist" bit, but never mind.

It's the way these posts are interpreted. Generally I'm not offended by anything. But I enjoy taking pokes at individuals "feels"... lol (GROW UP) Yea I have a gripe about how these films are depicted. Bring a stick to a gun fight... you're going to loose.Make a character look ridiculous and out of place/time, yea I have a gripe. Realistic "female" hero roles in an action, "BAD-ASS ROLE".... where are these girls in real life on the front lines?Navy Seals? Rangers? Delta? No they don't exist.So no I don't want to see unrealistic depictions of so called "heroes". I want to see something tangible and realistic, to make me feel about the actions and actor involved.
That is the lamest thing I've ever read.
I'm sad for you. Don't ever have a daughter. IF you already have one... don't give her pep talks.

Realism is realism.. fantasy is fantasy....

Let's see "generally not offended by anything" - but "enjoys taking pokes at individual "feels"" -then has the audacity to tell people to grow up (in all caps, no less). Of course, you're going to "loose" if you bring a stick to a gunfight (then he talks about elite soldiers that surely could do just that)...
...and then comes the ignorant misogyny. :rolleyes
Russia had it's female soldiers during WWII, some very accomplished snipers and pilots. You will find examples
in many conflicts. The business of humans butchering each other of course is dominated by males and is without question.
Pushing female warriors and overdoing "girl power" for the sake of pushing equality and NOT a good story and strong characters is
of course a legit issue.

Your about to see some since even the Navy realizes that a woman can be aa "Badass" as a man. Also, have you ever served this great country or just like the child in your avatar picture, do you like to comment from the sidelines ?
