The Star Wars sequels are divisive for a long list of reasons, but many fans have found fault with the portrayal of the franchise's non-white characters. John Boyega's Finn was promoted as a Stormtrooper turned Jedi, but ended up being a supporting character who didn't bring too much to the table (his arc in The Rise of Skywalker consisted of trying to tell Rey...something).
Despite that, in a resurfaced interview that wasn't covered last year, Boyega has admitted that he's open to returning to the franchise providing he was joined by some familiar faces.
"Whichever way, I am open to the conversation as long as it is Kathleen, J.J., and maybe someone else and the team, it's a no-brainer," he says in the video below. Now, this is definitely surprising, and it's interesting that he doesn't mention Rian Johnson. Then again, The Last Jedi did essentially close the door on the possibility that Finn might have any sort of Force-sensitive abilities.
In a previous interview, Boyega slated the Star Wars sequels for the way diverse characters were handled. "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--k all," Boyega said.
"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."
