JAKARTA - John Boyega doesn't want to play the Star Wars franchise anymore. He played the rising Stormtrooper Finn in Episode VII: The Force Awakens.

"At this point, I'd rather not do it," John Boyega said on the SiriusXM radio show.

“I think Finn is a good point where you can find him through other things, games, animation. But I think (Episode) VII to (Episode) IX is enough for me," he explained.

This statement was made by the actor in 2020. At that time a fan wrote a comment wanting to see Boyega in the franchise.

“Lol no thanks. I've moved on," replied John Boyega.

He also saw acts of racism in Star Wars fan groups. one of them, actor Moses Ingram who received bad comments when the Obi-Wan Kenobi series aired.

But at that time Disney and Obi-Wan actor Ewan McGregor defended Moses Ingram.

“Moses Ingram being protected made me feel protected too. Do you understand what I mean? It feels okay good. I'm not the elephant in this room," explains John Boyega.

Now John Boyega starred in a number of films and series. Most recently, he became one of the actors in Breaking and The Woman King.

“To be honest, my co-stars Joel Taylor and Jamie Foxx, Teyonah Parris, Viola Davis and others everyone I work with… flexibility is my go-to,” said John Boyega happily.
