Overview
- Speaking at Florida Supercon 2025, Boyega said the trilogy would have been “a whole completely different thing” if he had been a producer from the start.
- He said legacy figures such as Han Solo and Luke Skywalker would have remained central, with their stories completed before a clear passing of the baton.
- Boyega criticized the handling of Luke Skywalker, rejecting the notion of the character isolating himself and appearing only as a projection.
- He argued new protagonists should not be instantly proficient, calling for characters who struggle and grow in line with franchise traditions.
- Boyega proposed mining Old Republic lore and incorporating Force Unleashed elements, comments first reported by Popverse and echoed by Deadline, Dark Horizons, and The Independent.
