John Boyega Deserved So Much Better

It’s upsetting reading John Boyega’s interview. I remember when TFA trailer came out I was so surprised to see a black actor as a storm trooper and then seeing him hold a light saber thinking he was going to be a Jedi and I was thinking how progressive Disney was becoming. But we were dead wrong and Disney did Finn, as well as other characters like Rose and Poe dirty.

John is an amazing actor and was given a role that he was excited as hell to bring to life and give his all because hello it’s Star Wars (I’m sure no one would have turn down a chance to be in one of the most memorable franchises) but instead he was put to the side. Like John said, Adam knew and Daisy knew but they never commented or used their privilege to help out there fellow castmate who was dealing with racist comments from fans and producers who didn’t seem to care about John’s concerns or him wanted more for his character.

You can’t blame him for feeling this way, especially during these times. Disney has seen what having good representation in your cast does, an example being Black Panther. They got the big box office numbers they wanted but so many black people got to see someone that looks like them be the main character, the hero, not just a side character with no real progression.I’m glad John called Disney out, and letting the people know that Disney is a cash grab that doesn’t care for its black characters and cast or another other POC because be real, Star Wars didn’t need another 3 movies to “finish the story”.

I’ve always been a fan of Adam, but it’s disappointing knowing he could have done or said something, but he stayed silent, the same goes for Daisy because they were the leads of this trilogy, they saw and hearsed what was going on behind the scenes and what John was going through but still did nothing.

basically what happened

[gracemsandak]

. . .

Boyega isn't afraid to publicly comment on his issues with the new Star Wars movies, as evidenced by him throwing shade at (and spoiling) The Rise of Skywalker's controversial Reylo kiss. He's also revealed he disagreed with some of the creative choices made in The Last Jedi, particularly when it came to Finn and Rose's storyline. And as Boyega begins the post-Star Wars phase of his career, he believes Finn could have been handled much better throughout the entire trilogy.

.

[But] what I would say to Disney is do not bring out a black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are and then have them pushed to the side. It’s not good. I��ll say it straight 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 came to Kelly Marie Tran, when it came to John Boyega, you know f*** all. So what do you want me to say? What they want you to say is, ‘I enjoyed being a part of it. It was a great 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 knows this. Everybody knows. I’m not exposing anything.”
