John Boyega pick apart the means Finn was manage in theStar Warssequel trilogy . Despite all grossing over $ 1 billion at the worldwide box office , the three installments of Disney ’s modern trilogy prove to be divisive for various reasons . The Last Jediwas arguably the most polarizing of the gang , butThe Force AwakensandThe Rise of Skywalkerfaced their fair portion of critiques as well . If anything , the reply to the movies provedit is unimaginable to please allStar Warsfans- something even J.J. Abrams was well aware of when makingThe Rise of Skywalker . As it turns out , that applies toStar Warsactors too .
Boyega is n’t afraid to publically gloss on his issues with the newStar Warsmovies , as evidenced by him throwing spectre at ( and spoiling)The Rise of Skywalker’scontroversial Reylo kiss . He ’s also revealed he disagreed with some of the originative choices made inThe Last Jedi , particularly when it add up to Finn and Rose ’s storyline . And as Boyega begins the post - Star Warsphase of his life history , he believes Finn could have been handled much better throughout the entire trilogy .

In an audience withGQ , Boyega discussedStar Wars’poor handling of people of color in the films , including himself , Kelly Marie Tran , Oscar Isaac , and Naomi Ackie . He said Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver received"all the nuance"in their theatrical role , while the others were sidelined :
[ But ] what I would say to Disney is do not bring out a pitch-dark character , market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are and then have them crusade to the side . It ’s not good . I ’ll say it flat up . Like , you guys knew what to do with Daisy Ridley , you knew what to do with Adam Driver . You knew what to do with these other people , but when it come to Kelly Marie Tran , when it came to John Boyega , you bed f * * * all . So what do you desire me to say ? What they want you to say is , ‘ I revel being a part of it . It was a peachy experience … ’ Nah , nah , nah . I ’ll take that deal when it ’s a great experience . They gave all the nuance to Adam Driver , all the nuance to Daisy Ridley . Let ’s be honest . Daisy knows this . Adam hump this . Everybody knows . I ’m not peril anything . ”
Misleading marketing away , Boyega ’s unfavorable judgment are valid when search at the other people of color in the sequel trilogy . The Rise of Skywalkerin particular was widely panned for cut back Rose Tico to a glorify cameo ( she has 76 second of screen time ) . As the continuation trilogy build Rey and Kylo Ren ’s dispute became a greater focussing in the films . Since they were the main protagonist and antagonist that make gumption , but it also does n’t excuse the filmmaker for coming up short with the other characters . Disney hasnewStar Warsmovies design to come out begin in 2023 , and hopefully as they get down employment on their next slate , they ’re able-bodied to take the necessary pace towards depict theatrical onscreen .
