John Boyega Outlines Alternative Vision for the 'Star Wars' Sequels at Florida Supercon

His remarks were a public critique rather than a signal of any planned production.

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.
