The new trilogy of 'Star Wars' disregarded John Boyega. Now they have contacted him again to make things right

If I ask you to tell me who your favorite Star Wars character is, in general, there is a high possibility that it is not Finn, the stormtrooper turned Resistance member we met in Episode VII and who was completely forgotten by the time the sequel trilogy ended: many expected him to be the new Han Solo, and he became a boy who was. However, it is possible that, even if it’s late, John Boyega (who plays him) might finally get his revenge. With Chewie the wookiee and Finn the human With the celebrated […]

If I ask you to tell me who your favorite character from Star Wars is, in general, there is a high possibility that it is not Finn, the stormtrooper turned Resistance member we met in Episode VII and who was completely forgotten by the time the sequel trilogy ended: many expected him to be the new Han Solo, and he became a boy who was. However, it is possible that, even if it’s late, John Boyega (who plays him) may finally have his revenge.

With Chewie the Wookiee and Finn the Human

With the celebrated departure of Kathleen Kennedy from the franchise and the arrival of Dave Filoni (we’ll have to see what he knows how to do), projects that have been stuck for years have also been unlocked in a continuous cycle of approval and cancellation that has cost Disney a fortune. And as part of these new ideas, it seems that bringing Finn back in some way is on the table.

The only thing we know at the moment is what an insider has said. That is, Boyega has had a meeting with Lucasfilm about his return to Star Wars. The last time we saw him was seven years ago, and it is possible that it will be in the continuation of that trilogy that Simon Kinberg is apparently preparing. What is clear is that, after the incendiary statements the actor has made over the years, they must have offered him a good idea (or a good stack of cash) to come back.

This spring, the actor stated about the saga “Star Wars has always had the vibe of being in a whiter and more elitist space. It is such a white franchise that the fact that a black person exists in it was something“. Will we see him again? Will the Force be with him? I’m afraid only time will tell.

John Boyega is not satisfied with the treatment his character received in Star Wars, considering it wasted

During the Florida Supercon 2025 convention, which took place in Miami Beach, actor John Boyega did not hold back in criticizing the handling of his character and the narrative of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Boyega, known for his portrayal of Finn, a former Stormtrooper, in the films The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker, shared his thoughts on his experience in the saga. Too many stories to take advantage of Boyega expressed that, in his view, the trilogy missed a valuable opportunity to explore Finn’s story more deeply. “There were moments when […]

During the Florida Supercon 2025 convention, which took place in Miami Beach, actor John Boyega did not hold back in criticizing the handling of his character and the narrative of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Boyega, known for his portrayal of Finn, a former Stormtrooper, in the films The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker, shared his thoughts on his experience in the saga.

Too many stories to take advantage of

Boyega expressed that, in his view, the trilogy missed a valuable opportunity to explore Finn’s story more deeply. “There were moments when I wished they had delved deeper into the character, his background, and his evolution. In some parts, I felt there were too many stories and not enough justice was done to each of them,” he commented during the event, reflecting the frustration of many fans who saw the character’s potential without it being fully realized.

Since his debut in The Force Awakens, Finn was introduced as a character with a unique and complex background, which sparked great interest among the saga’s followers. However, many believe that the development of his story was limited compared to other central characters, which led Boyega to question the creative decisions made in the films. “I think the narrative could have been handled differently, with more nuance,” the actor stated.

His speech resonates with the general discontent of some fans who feel that the trilogy did not adequately capture the essence of the Star Wars universe. With a desire for depth and character development, Boyega’s statements incite a debate in the community about the direction the saga took and the decisions that influenced its overall narrative.

The Return of Cascoscuro

Spaceballs 2 was recently announced and is scheduled to be released in 2027, almost 40 years after the original was released in 1987. The first installment, directed by Mel Brooks, became an instant classic by parodying not only Star Wars but also other iconic franchises like Star Trek and Transformers. The plot follows the mercenary Lone Star, played by Bill Pullman, and his alien sidekick Barf, who was played by John Candy, as they attempt to rescue Princess Vespa from the clutches of the Spaceballs.

The cast of the sequel will once again feature actors from the original film, including Bill Pullman, Rick Moranis, Daphne Zuniga, and Mel Brooks himself. Additionally, new cast members will join, such as Lewis Pullman, Bill Pullman’s son, in the role of Starburst, as well as Keke Palmer and Josh Gad. Meanwhile, uncertainty remains about Boyega’s future in Star Wars, as, unlike his co-star Daisy Ridley, there are no confirmed plans for his return as Finn in new installments.

With Spaceballs 2 finally on the way, fans of comedy and science fiction can expect another dose of academic humor and cultural references that have defined the franchise since its inception.
