Boyega: Keep Han, Luke and Leia

At Florida Supercon 2025, John Boyega said that had he been a producer he would have radically reworked the Star Wars sequel trilogy and criticized Disney’s handling of the films and characters. He said he would not have killed off Han Solo, Luke Skywalker or Leia, insisting their stories and legacies should be fulfilled to allow a proper "handing on the baton." Boyega rejected Luke’s depiction as a distant Force projection that "disappears on a rock" and argued new heroes should not be overpowered but must struggle and earn their arcs. He also criticized the sequels’ treatment of his character Finn and said his remarks echo long-standing complaints about the handling of other non-white characters. Boyega said he would draw on Old Republic and Force Unleashed material to expand saga lore while staying true to established boundaries.
