John Boyega seems to have made his peace with Star Wars

For years, John Boyega has not been silent about what he really thought war of stars. The British actor who deserved a lot of praise for it Attack the blockHe was ecstatic when he landed in a plum role The Force Awakens. He was a little less than pleased with where his character had ended up, as he felt he had been marginalized. But now, about three years after the last film came out, he seems to have made his peace with it.

“For me, in a way, Star Wars made the man,” Boyega said The times of London (as captured by meeting). “The experiences, the fun times, good times, ugly times, bad times, make you who you are as you navigate the industry, and that’s definitely been interesting.”

Where his character, rebel-turned stormtrooper Finn, ended up, he thought he ended up in a good place at least. “I feel like the tie that JJ was trying to tie, that’s where I feel comfortable with his release,” he said. “And since then, as a fan, I’ve been able to enjoy The Mandalorian And Obi Wan Kenobi. I enjoy the balance of all things.”

It’s a different tone than the one he struck in 2020 as he continued to chart the direction the series was taking: “What I would say to Disney is, ‘Don’t release a black character, market it as much more important to the franchise , than they are, and then pushed them aside. It is not good.'”

Last year, Boyega praised the Star Wars team for how they handled the racial backlash Obi Wan Kenobi Support player Moses Ingram, although he criticized the team for not showing him the same protection when receiving similar attacks.
