John Boyega has slammed Disney for 'sidelining' his Star Wars character and giving 'all the nuance' to his white co-stars Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley.
The actor, 28, portrayed the franchise's first black Stormtrooper, in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker and told how he thinks Disney marketed his character as being 'much more important' than he actually was.
Speaking in an interview with the October issue of British GQ magazine, he said: 'You get yourself involved in projects and you're not necessarily going to like everything.

But it just goes to show Daisy Ridley that thinking that us Trump voters are crazy is simply not good enough nowadays.
LOL!
The dude still cashed a sweet paycheck. Got no pity.
Disney went out of their way to make a PC movie ... why is he complaining?
The JarJar Binks of Stormtroopers.
That's too bad. The three principals, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy were really well cast. If only they just made something like TOS into movies and not mucked around with alternate timelines instead of whatever it is JJ did, it could have been good.
No wonder he's pissed off, he was portrayed as a conservative!
The cost of pissing all over canon.
Rose was the most pointless character... bad enough the role was poorly written, the actress couldnt act her way out of a paper bag...
But hardly is she the first star wars actor to be sub par.
She was another Kennedy woke nonsense garbage. How Kennedy still has a job is beyond me.
“John Boyega has slammed Disney for ‘sidelining’ his Star Wars character and giving ‘all the nuance’ to his white co-stars Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley.”
The days first sermon from the Church of the Perpetually Aggrieved.
THAT was freaking hilarious!
How about creating black characters under new movie plot-lines rather than butcher the existing movie history?

How about writing films with interesting stories and who gives a blank what the skin color of the actor is.
Maybe he is a piece of wood and cannot act??
Hint.
There was one Luke and one Vader.
There were tens of thousands cloned stormtroopers.
The movie series did not revolve around a select group of extras.
Well, we know that's not going to happen. The genie has been let out of the bottle. The best they can do is give minority actors unique and new characters, rather than take existing movie lines and force race and gender into the production. That's what I think they should do, but Hollywood has gone down the SJW rabbit hole willingly.
[ How about writing films with interesting stories and who gives a blank what the skin color of the actor is.]
Right? When I was a kid, Lando Calrissian’s (BD Williams) skin color was the last thing i cared about.
Is this dude whining AGAIN?
Actor, “Most of the time you only have enough love for one person, yourself”...
Right. And JarJar will finally become a Jedi Master.
