STAR WARS Disney+ TV Series Rumored To Be In The Works Focusing On John Boyega's Finn

We have a very interesting rumour to share with you today as it's being reported that John Boyega's Finn could get his own Disney+ series, picking up after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker...

John Boyega has made no secret of the fact he was unhappy with how Finn was used in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and his comments were very much in line with how fans felt. Both the former Stormtrooper and Poe Dameron were sidelined in the threequel, with their respective storylines ending more with a whimper than a bang (but hey, at least Rey got herself a new name, eh?). 

Boyega has reportedly met with Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy to discuss how his character was used in the Star Wars sequels, but could that have led to his own Disney+ series? 

According to a new rumour doing the rounds online (via StarWarsNews.net) a series is in the works that would tell Finn's story before he joined the First Order and what happened to him following the events of Episode IX. Considering he spent most of that movie trying to tell Rey he might be force-sensitive, we're guessing that would focus on his training or perhaps pick up with him as a Jedi. 

Still, this is definitely a little hard to believe as we can't imagine the likes of Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac showing up, and their absence could be hard to explain unless Finn has left the Resistance. 

J.D. Dillard and Matt Owens were said to be working on something Star Wars related in early 2020, but the report claims that it's now become this potential Finn series. Ultimately, we'll have to wait and see what happens with this one, though there's no denying that it's an idea with some potential. 

Would you like to see Boyega return to a Galaxy Far, Far Away for his own Disney+ show?

Only if it takes place after ROS…with maybe some flashbacks. I don’t want an entire prequel series

Didn't he once say that he would never be on a Disney+ series or Am I mixing him with someone else?

His character was wasted so I really hope he does get a chance to do more.

Really there is probably 5% of the sequel trilogy that can be salvaged

I wouldn't be mad at it, he was the sequel character with most potential and he was wasted. Plus, if this is good, it could redeem the sequel trilogy.

He deserves it. He had a strong start but they did him dirty in subsequent films. It was really bad in Rise of Skywalker when his whole arc was yelling "REY!!"

Also, the studio heads kept throwing obligatory love interests at him so that people wouldn't ever get the idea he was gay or interested in Rey which is not a good look for the studio.

Have Rose come back too. I didn't even like her character but i'm still second hand insulted for the actress for what they did to her in Rise of Skywalker. She had what, two lines?
