Actor John Boyega, who had a breakout moment with his role of Finn in the ‘Star Wars’ sequel trilogy, is not keen on returning to the galactic franchise.

John is currently awaiting the release of his films ‘Breaking’ and ‘The Woman King’, reports ‘Variety’.

“At this point I’m cool off it. I’m good off it,” Boyega said on SiriusXM’s ‘Tell Me Everything With John Fugelsang’, quoted by ‘Variety’. “I think Finn is at a good confirmation point where you can just enjoy him in other things, the games, the animation.

John Boyega has expressed “frustration” with Disney’s kid-gloves handling of fan protests when he was cast as a “Black Stormtrooper” in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But the British actor says he’s made peace with it after seeing how differently the company recently handled similar fan criticism of Moses Ingram in Obi-Wan Kenobi.

“That’s the peace that I felt,” he said on on SiriusXM’s Tell Me Everything With John Fugelsang. “Moses Ingram being protected makes me feel protected. Do you understand what I’m saying? It makes me feel like, ‘Okay, cool. I am not the elephant in the room.’ Because when I started, it wasn’t really a conversation you could bring up. You know how they went through it. It was kind of like, ‘Let’s just be silent.’ It wasn’t a conversation you could bring up. But now to see how blatant it is,...
