• John Boyega Rules Out ...

Disney never had his back. They literally changed a movie poster because Chinese audiences wouldn’t like it.

[@antjack6192]

Changed the whole movie for this very reason. A black Jedi as the MC. Nah

[@Delboy0]

But in China the most popular American actors are black, it was Hollywood making their own racist assumptions about China. When Kennedy saw the global box office of Black Panther they realised they fucked up by by not making Finn the main character because the racists thought people wouldn’t go see big movie with a black lead character because they were filmmakers from the 1980s.

[@s1lic0necutie]

especially if they had done something like, kylo purposefully took kids who were force sensitive and made them stormtroopers, so they wouldnt be able to rise up against him, but finn managed to break free of that control and harness his powers. i think that would be a very cool idea, having almost every stormtrooper in the first order be force sensitive, yet none of them know it because of the control the first order has over them, for one to break free of that control, take down kylo, and rebuild the jedi order with the help of all of the force sensitive troopers.

If it wasn't about skin color, then why did she receive death threats and horrible slurs thrown her way consistently?

Star Wars definitely sucks @ss right now because of screwed up people perverting it. There are also bigoted jackasses that hate to see non white characters in this dumb@ss flawed fantasy. Don't downplay what these actors and actresses went through. Twisted perverts on one end and racist fanatics on the other side. Star Wars has become negative. F*ck Star Wars!

You are an absolute degenerate to have this world view and I hope something in your world shifts that worldview back to reality.

[@MrEmpireBuilder0000]

I like the viewpoint expressed by Boyega. However, Ingram's character though she got a lot of screen time, is still sadly a poorly written one with questionable motivations in the story. It's not the actor's fault but the writers'.

[@dinafoxm]

Yes people always say that "it's not the actor's fault but the writers'" - but why does everyone (and by that I mean mainly White people) still pile onto the "bad writing" for the Black/POC character? It becomes people's sole focal point, Twitter masses descend upon said storyline. I would argue that Reva's emotional story is far more fleshed out than Princess Leia's in the OT (and don't get me wrong, I LOVE Leia). Leia's entire planet gets blown up, yet there are no emotions, is no processing of this at all? Even as a child I thought that was really strange. Reva's story shows so well the conflict people feel after experiencing intense trauma, how finding one's way can be so difficult, emotional, messy, terrifying. Anyways, I'm just tired of people using the lazy excuse of "it's the writers' fault" to pile on POC actors or their characters.

[@tommckellen342]

Blacks are the laziest and most entitled of all the races. They think 'Wakanda Forever' is real and that black people, by tapping into ancestral consciousness, can have success in development of a country. No, Caucasians from the West of Europe bought advanced technology to Africa, and now Asians (Chinese) do. Blacks know how to sit on their butts, believing that complaining, acting like a crybabies and doing a stupid dance will bring advanced lifestyles to Africa. Most of the world, apart from Africa, took the technology and ideas left by conialists, even if some (but not all) of those people did not have your interests at heart, and built a civilisation from it. Africans complain that nothing is fair, so that will become their reality. They will literally manifest all of their whinging into reality!

Also, to be consistent, they could have made him a distant relative of Mace Windu (a nod to the Revenge of the Sith fight scene on the spaceship with their predecessors). Then that would have made for an epic finale in episode nine. What a love triangle (and funny one ) that would be.

[@Waywind420]

They (media) do this deliberately for whatever reason When the Force Awakens trailer dropped, they included a deliberate close up shot of a stormtrooper taking off their helmet and a highly phenotypical nigerian-british face emerging...not what the audience expected, it was likely done for marketing purposes in order to adversie the film through controversy as well as capture a more global audience. Given what we'd seen about the clones previously (maori actor, who didn't receive noticeable backlash btw) it was definitely unexpected from what we thought we knew about stormtroopers. A minority of Star wars fans were concerned the story was being set up for a romance between a dark african man and an exceptionally gifted white woman (which is an insufferable and overdone media trope at this point) and they voiced that disliking. Trust Boyega and his colleagues to cherry pick that and project some delusions of racial injustice to the world...star wars IS multicultural and has been since the 70's, star wars fans are like the original fans of diversity and tolerance.

I'm a massive Star Wars fan, a Finn fan, and of John Boyega who plays him. Great actor, playing a great character, and I feel everything that was said. Disney did not do his character justice and if it were me, Finn would have become a Jedi in the prequels and developed a better relationship with Rey. That was what was teased from the beginning and Disney dropped the ball by hiring different directors and writers to make one cohesive story. Bad play by them. I hear they're trying to do a Rey film or series, and if they do, that's Disney's chance to make it up to everyone, right their wrongs, and make Finn a real Jedi in Rey's new order. That's just what I think as a multiple decade long fan of Star Wars.

[@DavidWWhite1973]

I honestly don't think the sequel trilogy would have faced such opposition had Disney not squandered the potential by giving Ruin JarJarson free reign. If anyone is to blame for killing the Skywalker story, it's him, and those who let him. John is absolutely correct in the bait-and-switch that happened with Finn, but it's that select few in the upper echelon that are the racist a**holes that created the problem they are now trying to fight. With Moses Ingram in the Kenobi series, she wasn't that bad, but the character was uninspiring and her story wasn't very believable. Seriously, how can a kid survive impalement by a saber?! Even if this is a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, that is too much to ask in the willing suspension of disbelief...

Go wipe your tears with the $10 million dollars they gave you for Star Wars. AND Boyega has complained about every role he's had even after Star Wars. What a joke.

[@dawnstrobert2562]

He sure is uppity ain't he?

[@Coolgamer54321]

When has he complained about a role in his recent incredibly well received movies and series

[@DamplyDoo]

Terrible whiney actor.

[@BarryPie123]

He realizes there will always be racists viewing his work… right? Weird stance from him.

[@violetswindlehurst5555]

I realized he was in a movie that isn't starwars and I started i-love-this-man-he-is-a-critical-peice-of-my-life CRYING.

[@theamericanviking1835]

Imagine being a rich celebrity and being hurt by words... these people are so soft they need to grow up and toughen up as well. The new trilogy was trash, obi Wan was poop.

[@sopaa_official]

This is sad we lose Finn 😪

[@elucidation3064]

Attack The Block 2 is gonna be awesome.

[@crikeychief8582]

Good, he is a terrible actor who expects to be prioritised based on his ethnicity. He is a supremacist, yet plays the victim card 😂

[@Coolgamer54321]

He wants to be treated like a human being tf is wrong with you

[@crikeychief8582]

When you get a reply that you can't see. If it's ok to be pro black then it's ok to be pro white.

[@andyvirella4603]

Man you got to be kidding? Racism really? Every uses that when things don't go your way. Get a life

[@johnjungkook2721]

Most memorable thing did in three years was troll Reylo fans as if they weren't low-hanging fruit.

[@---df5sr]

I don’t get the John Boyega thing. He basically does an impression of Denzel Washington in every movie he does.

[@owensanfordstuff]

What does that have to do with this though?

[@kingsleycasper]

This guy is a true professional

[@baddragonite]

I feel like the studios are telling these people that people hate the movies because of racism when in reality most of the fans that were mad actually wanted his character to be more important to the movies.

[@YoungBoyFred]

I wanna finn tv show

[@jeririce4928]

dude aint no lando thats for sure

[@dgsrks102030]

Jussieeeeeee ? is that you ?

[@zounds1981]

Who cares? The character and writing behind Finn being awful has nothing to do with his skin color.

[@A.jmmmm04]

Watch the whole video, literally missed the point

[@tahnadana5435]

what a lowly little man

[@pimpsahan55]

this dude is soft man!! wth!

[@AscendanceMedia]

He might return to Star Wars..

[@unyieldingrage1389]

He ain’t coming back to that fake woke but at the same time racist industry 😂

[@brironmanbtl1162]

Im sorry he's going to be in 10. I won't see it

[@bocajr4life]

Race card again 😅

[@hamyankee9343]

Racist. That’s a bunch of BS. Worst and oldest excuse.

[@billbog25]

Omg this is so toxic.

[@carlosmcse]

Racism? Because the character sucked? 😅

[@HighKicks2yaTeef]

he's so fine

[@shawnio]

all I am going to say is I would dress up as a pile of shit just to be in a star wars movie for 1 second. I would even do it for free. This guy fucked up a sweet opportunity, BIG TIME

[@Obelov]

Disliking someone for their attitude and self centered personality does NOT make someone a racist. Smh.

[@liquidsword601]

You’re really getting butthurt over something that no one said lmao. He’s obviously talking about the explicitly racist SW “fans” that have left him and Moses racist comments and private messages. But if the shoe fits I guess, since you seem to be hurt by what he said.

[@superoldgamesaturday3277]

Yeah, but turning his character into a token like Kathleen Kennedy did DOES make someone a racist.

[@Lance37a]

@@superoldgamesaturday3277 they did a bait and switch on his character.

[@superoldgamesaturday3277]

@@fenris6051 He was good in Attack the Block and there's acting issues with everyone in those Star Wars films, so I'm inclined to chalk it up to bad direction and now, racial scapegoating.
