John Boyega made waves within the Star Wars franchise as the primary Black storm trooper-turned Resistance warrior in The Force Awakens trilogy. But because the actor revealed in a recent interview, that’s the last we’ll be seeing of his character Finn.

“At this point, I’m cool off it. I’m good off it,” Boyega told Sirius XM’s John Fugelsang during an interview on his radio show. Despite Disney’s recent push for brand spanking new series and flicks centering on franchise characters, the actor says Episode IX is a superb endpoint for Finn, who was notoriously pushed to the side in The Force Awakens narrative despite being teased as its recent star in early movies.

“I believe to be fair, the allies that I’ve found inside Joel Taylor, Jamie Foxx, Teonna Parris, Viola Davis, all these people I’ve been working with, versatility is my path,” he explained. “I believe Finn is at a superb confirmation point where you’ll be able to just enjoy him in other things – the games, the animation. But I feel like [Episode] VII to [Episode] IX was good for me.”

Boyega also opened up on the recent racist backlash recent franchise star Moses Ingram received upon the premiere of the Obi-Wan Kenobi miniseries on Disney+, which the actress boldly addressed head-on to the resounding support and protection of Disney. Though he recognizes that he was not privileged to have the identical support when he went through his own challenge with racist trolls, he appreciates and feels validated by the way in which Ingram was upheld by the corporation.

“That’s the way it goes. But that’s the peace that I felt,” Boyega explains. “Moses Ingram being protected makes me feel protected. It makes me feel like, ‘OK, cool. I’m not the elephant within the room.’ Because once I began, it wasn’t really a conversation you can bring up.”

While the actor was discouraged from publicly addressing the web nastiness he experienced, Ingram was in a position to address the torment as unacceptable head-on. But as an alternative of wondering why he wasn’t in a position to receive the identical support from Disney, he’s fulfilled by the indisputable fact that it’s a possibility today.

“It doesn’t make me feel bitter in any respect. It makes me feel like…sometimes, you’re that guy. And my dad taught me that. Sometimes you’re not the guy to get the blessing. Sometimes you’re Moses, . You lead the people to the mountain, and also you see the destination, buy you don’t get to go in. You get others to go in. And that’s where you get your happiness from.”

“What the conversation does, and for me, it’s so positive, it gives other actors the power to say ‘look, I’m not comfortable with this,’ or ‘that is what’s happening, and that is the form of support I would like.’ That, for me, is what I wanted out of every little thing,” he said.

“I need a Black actor to find a way to walk right into a room, at any time when they feel some variety of way, they usually can go to the studio head and say ‘that is how I feel, that is the support I would like,’ and it won’t be a weird conversation. Me knowing that? I’m cool.”
