As a film enthusiast with a soft spot for Star Wars and its rich universe, I find myself both excited and apprehensive about the latest rumors surrounding John Boyega‘s potential return as Finn. Having grown up watching the original trilogy, the sequels have been a bit of a rollercoaster ride – filled with both highs (Finn’s character development) and lows (the somewhat underwhelming conclusion to the Skywalker Saga).
Star Wars appears to be working on a new movie trilogy featuring fresh characters, but there’s also talk about revisiting some familiar faces. Despite the mixed feelings fans had after watching The Rise of Skywalker, many still think Rey, Finn, and Poe could get another chance in a new film. However, it remains uncertain how Lucasfilm intends to handle the main trio. A recent rumor hints that a beloved character may return for more adventures in a distant galaxy.
According to DanielRPK, Lucasfilm is considering bringing back John Boyega as the character Finn for a future Star Wars film. The specific project hasn’t been specified yet, but it’s speculated that it could be the Rey solo movie starring Daisy Ridley, which has faced delays. There were initial reports suggesting that Simon Kinberg would write a new trilogy to introduce fresh characters and begin a new saga, but it appears the studio wants to continue utilizing popular characters like Finn. Despite mixed reactions to the films overall, fans still appreciate these characters and the performances of their actors, particularly Boyega, who many hoped would become a Jedi as Finn. It’s important to note that this information should be treated with some skepticism, but there seems to be a noticeable buzz surrounding it.
Is it uncertain if John Boyega would be open to reprising his role as Finn? Despite finding peace with his Star Wars journey following the turbulent experience of starring in the trilogy, he has not shown eagerness about returning. However, circumstances could shift in the future, perhaps if Lucasfilm provided a more substantial storyline for Finn (and possibly even a lightsaber). Here’s what he recently expressed about the current Star Wars state:
In simpler terms, “I find it satisfying that JJ left loose ends for me, which I feel good about him leaving. Ever since then, I’ve been able to appreciate ‘The Mandalorian’ and ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ as a fan, and I really enjoy the overall balance of these stories.
What’s Next For ‘Star Wars’?
The situation regarding future “Star Wars” movies on the big screen is as unclear now as it was before Disney took over the renowned franchise more than a decade ago. Projects officially confirmed for feature-length films appear to be scrapped almost every other month, and even the project featuring Daisy Ridley has encountered delays during its production. The studio appears to be very cautious about what they release, particularly following the mixed reactions to their sequel trilogy. Even the film directed by Taika Waititi is moving slowly, while others like “Rogue Squadron” from Patty Jenkins might have been resurrected.
Even though things might seem grim sometimes, Star Wars enthusiasts, there’s some light at the end of the tunnel! The spin-off film featuring The Mandalorian and Grogu is scheduled to premiere in cinemas in 2026. Meanwhile, James Mangold is still on board for a Jedi origin story movie, slated for release between late 2026 and early 2027. Given that the former is already in production, it’s safe to say we’ll get to see it at some point (unless Disney decides to write it off as a tax expense). With the studio currently grappling with deciding the next major move for their franchise post-Skywalker Saga, they’re likely to keep delving into familiar Star Wars territories until then.
