Star Wars actor John Boyega He was not shy in talking about his mind regarding the role he played Finn in the Skywalker saga, the films themselves and the fandom that reacted to everything.

We all know that the Star Wars The universe is divisive and you cannot please everyone, but one of the problems that some people complained have had to deal with the casting of diversity and Boyega was open on his frustrations regarding the opinions of toxic fans.

The actor explained during an apparition in Number one on the call sheet: black basic men in Hollywood Documentary (via CB):

“Let me say it, Star Wars He always had the atmosphere of being in the most white and elite space. It is such a white franchise that a color person exists [it] era something. “

Boyega then commented on the belief that only because there were blacks Star Wars actors in the past, like Billy Dee Williams AND Samuel L. Jacksonwhich solves any diversity is suffering Star Wars. “You can always say that it is something when some Star Wars Fans try to say: “Well, we had Lando Calrissian and we had Samuel L. Jackson!” “, He said.” It is like telling me how many biscuits chips are in the biscuits dough. It’s as if they just scattered it there, brother! “

He added: “They are fine with us who play the best friend, but once we touch their heroes, once we drive, once we have traced, it’s like” Oh my God, it’s just a little too much! They are browsing! “

Boyega recently talked about how the filmmaker gave JJ Abrams A request when he returned to direct Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. “I was doing a lot of fall in Star Wars,” Boyega said during a Spotlight panel at Comic with Emerald City. “I always fell. From the guys, be honest with me. You know I was always falling. So, I was like JJ,” can I stand a little longer? “”

Boyega has also put pressure on Finn to continue growing as a character, while also experimenting moments of triumph. “There was a level of growth from The last Jedi TO Skywalker’s ascent That JJ and I had spoken to addition, “he said.

“I was like jj,” I’m tired of eating jj dirt, I know how to move. My laser sword skills are undeniable. Take me off the pitch there. “I remember JJ came to me and said:” John, we took you, we have poe, we have chewbacca who runs through the corridors, eliminating these Stormtrooper. “And that’s then that I said:” Yes, it’s enough “. It was a nice moment and something to have fun.”

The actor previously said he is “open to all opportunities” when it comes to a return to Star Wars franchise. However, he preceded him saying that he would depend on who the creatives behind the scenes were and on what story they had to tell.

“It was a few years ago, so they were the subject of that particular project,” Boyega clarified Techradar As for the vocalization of its previous frustrations with Lucasfilm. “But I am open to all the funny characters and scripts, I have a great cast in the attachment and an exceptional director. So yes, I am open to all opportunities.”

I think it would be nice to see Finn again in the next movies. The story will focus on Daisy RidleyRey, therefore it would make sense to see them gathered. But we will only have to wait and see.
