Fans Support John Boyega After Actor Slammed Disney For Sidelining Black 'Star Wars' Character

Fans show support to John Boyega for speaking the truth regarding his character Finn in the "Star Wars" movies
They expressed gratitude to him for showing the reality of how black people are treated in the industry
In a GQ interview, Boyega said that he was the "only actor to have a unique experience based on his race"
Social media users came in support of actor John Boyega after he slammed Disney for sidelining his character in the “Star Wars” universe. He made this bombshell revelation in a recent interview with GQ magazine.

As soon as the interview surfaced online, the ardent fans of the actor and the franchise shared their disappointment because the character was completely killed off in the highly successful series. Many users then claimed that Boyega spoke nothing but the truth.

One of the users wrote that the production giant lied to the fans by using the star for all the build-up and then completely screwing his character when the movie came out. He also alleged that Disney used him because everyone wanted to see a “black stormtrooper” becoming the Jedi.

“There’s a reason why during TFA (“The Force Awakens”) build-up Disney used John Boyega’s Finn with a lightsabre in most of the promo material. A young black stormtrooper becoming the hero Jedi? It’s what we wanted to see. It’s a better story. Instead, they screwed Boyega over and lied to the fans,” one user commented.


“Let's protect John Boyega at any costs,” wrote another user.

Similarly, another fan noted that Boyega is taking on Disney because it stifled creative control. The fan also urged everyone to not be mad at the “Imperial Dreams” star for showing the reality.
