In a galaxy far, far away, there is a chance that John Boyega would return to the тАЬStar WarsтАЭ franchise.

Boyega, who previously starred as Finn in тАЬStar Wars: Episode VII The Force AwakensтАЭ, тАЬStar Wars: Episode VIII The Last JediтАЭ and тАЬStar Wars: Episode IX The Rise of SkywalkerтАЭ, had said last year that he wouldnтАЩt return.

тАЬWhat I would say to Disney is do not bring out a black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are and then have them pushed to the side. ItтАЩs not good. IтАЩll say it straight up,тАЭ he said at the time.

Adding, тАЬNobody 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, тАШBlack this and black that and you shouldnтАЩt be a Stormtrooper.тАЩ Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that IтАЩm this way. ThatтАЩs my frustration.тАЭ
