John Boyega talks landing the role of Finn ‘after seven months of extreme auditioning’

A new Star Wars book titled The Galaxy’s Greatest Heroes goes in-depth into the process of bringing the characters of the Skywalker Saga to life. As one of the main players in Disney’s sequel trilogy, John Boyega‘s Finn is one such character, and the British actor has a lot of insight into how the stormtrooper-turned-rebel found his footing in the new era.

Boyega actually had a solid opening with The Force Awakens and introduced a new dynamic to the Star Wars ensemble. But fan expectations quickly turned sour with the character’s subplot in The Last Jedi. Even passionate loyalists who support Rian Johnson’s controversial middle act with every breath sometimes admit that Finn’s storyline wasn’t exactly exceptional in that film. By J.J. Abrams’ The Rise of Skywalker, Finn completely lost his depth and turned into just another tool that the writers shaped into their makeshift narrative.
