Recent headlines have focused on actor John Boyega, who resurfaced amidst discussions about his role in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. During a documentary interview, Boyega criticized the franchise for its lack of diversity, emphasizing that Star Wars is "so white that a Black person existing in it is a big deal." He pointed out that major characters like Finn, a stormtrooper-turned-Jedi, were sidelined due to behind-the-scenes decisions rooted in studio politics, specifically Kathleen Kennedy’s leadership and the franchise's focus on traditional, white-centered storytelling.
