It may not be out of the question for John Boyega to return to a galaxy far, far away... if the stars align. In a clip shared by a Twitter user, Boyega, who played Stormtooper-turned-Resistance-fighter Finn, affirmed that he would be open to playing in the Star Wars world again — if Kathleen Kennedy and J.J. Abrams are involved.

"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 said.

Christ almighty. Don't know the inner workings but jeez, work drying up or something. Could just be blowing smoke up their arses to get a good reference knowing it probably won't be JJ but he has sway to put in a good word.

Star Wars Episode X - Reyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

Rey "Hello there"....."Excuse me...Wan moment...Good. I can feel your anger. Hi Finn "

But is he now willing to get Disney plused?
It's still crazy to me that he is willing to work with JJ again after what happened.

I mean John seems like a loyal dude and JJ gave him his first big break.

This isn't that surprising.

Bring him back and develop his story further. I love his character, in principle. The writing just needs to be better.

On one hand, no thanks. Disney plus'd too much?
On the other, weird that Ryan Johnson is always snuffed from the conversations, considering he is still involved somehow with SW.

Give him his own D+ TV series, adventures seeking out other First Order orphans, like himself, learning about the force while doing so.

John Boyega Open To 'Star Wars' Return On TV - Star Wars News Net

John Boyega has said that he's interested in returning to Star Wars on television, particularly if Colin Trevorrow's planned story for Finn is adapted.

"I think Colin Trevorrow was going to tell that story. That image of Finn with the blue flag, and you have the AT-ATs lined up with tribal marks, and the stormtroopers take off their helmets. That would have been sick! That would have been dope, man, hands down… I'm a Mandalorian fan, so Lucasfilm is doing very well with the TV shows. An animated show would be dope! We could do it from home."

JJ went to bat for him when Disney was on that racism so it makes sense

But also, I assume JJ and Kathleen allowed them to write him into "hey where's Rey?" as well

I'm still salty how they did Finn in this. From showing my dude with lightsaber to cutting him telling Rey he was force sensitive. Straight clowning

JJ is not surprising since he has made it clear his dissatisfaction mostly comes from how his character was treated in TLJ

So something I just found out is while the article is from today, the video is much older. Originally I thought it was post his GQ interview but it actually came out in May 2020.




The article I linked below however is from post his GQ interview where he expressed interest in returning

I don't know why nerds keep pretending this dude ever had a problem with JJ just cause they do.

I don't get why people keep raising an eyebrow at JJ. It's clear they liked working with him in their day to day. That's more important than how the narrative turned out for an actor.

Not surprising. Rian Johnson is the one who screwed his character over. Although JJ didn't do much to restore him in the final movie.

I mean, he needs to come back but he shouldn't put all of his eggs into that basket. They could just as well create something significant for him with a suitable director. There is a big story to tell there, but I do not believe JJ will be the one to tell it.

"It's all Rian's fault!

Awesome. Hope he does come back.

Same for Daisy Ridley.

It's gonna rile up a lot of people that he didn't say Rian, haha.
