, Finn and Kelly Marie Tran's Rose Tico – to name just two characters – were moved to the periphery in favor of the franchise's white characters, such as Daisy Ridley's Rey and Adam Driver's Kylo Ren.interview in September 2020, Boyega also hit out at certain sections of Star Wars' fanbase for racially abusing him and Tran. At the time, Boyega said:"I’m the only cast member who had their own unique experience of that franchise based on their race.
"Nobody else in the cast had people saying they were going to boycott the movie because [they were in it]. Nobody else had the uproar and death threats sent to their Instagram DMs and social media, saying, ‘Black this and black that and you shouldn’t be a Stormtrooper.’ Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that I’m this way. That’s my frustration.
In the near-three-year period since that interview, Boyega has made peace with his experience as a Black actor in. It's unclear what the future holds for Finn in Lucasfilm's iconic universe, but there is growing speculation that we could see him again in a futureAsked if he was interested in returning to that galaxy far, far away, Boyega told me:"That [those comments] was a few years ago, so they were the subject of that particular project.
