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 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 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.
