Yes, Please! John Boyega Keen on Star Wars Comeback, But Here's the Catch

John Boyega is willing to reprise his role as Finn in Star Wars, but there are specific conditions that he requires. Boyega first portrayed Finn in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a film that brought new life to the Star Wars series and introduced a fresh trilogy. Following his transformation from a stormtrooper known as FN-2187 to a courageous Resistance fighter, Finn made subsequent appearances in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

In a recent interview with TechRadar, John Boyega addressed the possibility of returning as Finn in a future Star Wars project, three years after he expressed concerns about his experience with the franchise.

In 2020, Boyega discussed his Star Wars sequel experience, expressing some frustration with the handling of his character and the treatment he received from a portion of the fanbase and the industry. Now, he clarifies that those comments specifically referred to "that particular project," and emphasizes his willingness to reprise his role as Finn in Star Wars, under the guidance of a talented director and alongside a fantastic cast.

Could Finn Return In Rey's New Jedi Order Movie?

John Boyega has the potential to reprise his role as Finn in Rey's highly anticipated New Jedi Order film, a project that holds great promise in the Star Wars universe. Set 15 years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and helmed by the talented Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, this yet-to-be-titled film will reunite Daisy Ridley as Rey. With this being Star Wars 10, it's only natural to expect the return of beloved characters and enthralling storylines from the previous sequels. It's virtually inconceivable to envision a Rey Star Wars film set after The Rise of Skywalker without Finn.

In the New Jedi Order movie, we will witness Rey's endeavors in establishing a new Jedi Order within a post-First Order galaxy. This presents an ideal opportunity to rectify one of the major missteps of the Star Wars sequels by granting Finn the role of a Jedi. The Rise of Skywalker alluded to Finn's Force sensitivity, hinting at his potential as a Jedi.

Rey's new Star Wars movie is set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker, which presents the possibility that Finn might have become a Jedi prior to the character's reentry. The upcoming New Jedi Order movie offers a multitude of possibilities for Finn's potential role in the Star Wars franchise. While it is uncertain if John Boyega will appear in Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's Star Wars film, the eagerness he has expressed to return to the series is undeniably thrilling.
