John Boyega is the latest guest on the popular show Truth or Dare: Rapid Fire, a production of First We Feast. Though the fiery chicken wings are absent this time, the actor engaged in an enjoyable discussion about his current career phase and his earlier work in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The episode was shot prior to the current Writers Guild Association and SAG-AFTRA negotiations, where screenwriters and performers are advocating for improved working conditions.
Boyega’s first role as Finn was in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, portraying a stormtrooper dissatisfied with the First Order. A chance encounter with Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) broadened his horizons, leading to his alliance with the Resistance against the dark side. Finn’s story continues in The Last Jedi, where he and Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) are assigned to locate a master codebreaker to infiltrate Snoke’s (Andy Serkis) ship. In the trilogy’s finale, The Rise of Skywalker, he aids the Resistance in defeating Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) once again.
In the interview, Boyega ranked the sequel trilogy according to his personal preference and how he viewed his character’s narrative. The Force Awakens was his top pick, with The Rise of Skywalker coming second. Despite having no grievances against it, Boyega ranked The Last Jedi last. Daisy Ridley is set to reprise her role as Rey in an upcoming Star Wars movie, but Boyega has yet to hint at any plans to return to the franchise since the trilogy’s completion.
