Episode Details

John Boyega, who played Finn in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, expressed disappointment with how his characters story unfolded. Initially, Boyega believed Finn was destined to become a Jedi, but the films took a different direction. Cut scenes from The Rise of Skywalker even hinted at Finns potential as a Jedi. Boyegas criticism of Disneys handling of his character led to a conversation with executives, aiming to improve representation for Black actors and crew in Hollywood. While Boyega once considered an animated series for Finn, he is now content moving on, leaving the possibility of revisiting Finns arc in future Star Wars projects like the Rey movie uncertain.
