Lucasfilm Reportedly Trying to Bring Back Actor Who Vowed Never to Return After Being Treated Unfairly

As a seasoned gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the galaxy far, far away, I must say that the prospect of a new Star Wars trilogy is nothing short of exhilarating! The news about Simon Kinberg returning to helm these projects fills me with hope that we’re in for a treat.


As an avid Star Wars fan, I’m thrilled to see our beloved universe expanding at a rapid pace! Fresh live-action series and films are on the horizon, and just when I thought it couldn’t get any more exciting, word has it that a brand new Star Wars trilogy is underway.

Lucasfilm has recently reached an agreement with Simon Kinberg, a collaborator from previous projects. He was instrumental in creating the Emmy-nominated animated series “Star Wars Rebels,” which aired from 2014 to 2018, alongside Dave Filoni and Carrie Beck. Additionally, Kinberg played a part in the 2015 film “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens,” the movie that rejuvenated the franchise under the direction of JJ Abrams.

These fresh movies might serve as Episodes X-XII within the Star Wars chronology, a saga that commenced with George Lucas’s first Star Wars film in 1977.

According to recent reports, it appears that Daisy Ridley’s character Rey is set for a significant part in future Star Wars films. Additionally, rumors from within the industry hint that Lucasfilm is hoping to bring back John Boyega to the Star Wars universe once more.

I stumbled upon some intriguing tidbits in Richtman’s premium newsletter, but I want to make it clear that these details haven’t been officially verified yet, either by reliable sources or the actor himself.

Previously, Boyega himself stated that he would not rejoin the Star Wars universe, despite his fellow actor Daisy Ridley expressing a desire for them to work together again on the same film set.

It’s unlikely we’ll see John Boyega rejoin the Star Wars franchise again, as he has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the experience during the filming of the sequel trilogy. He felt that Finn’s character progression was not fully realized and that he didn’t receive the growth in the role that he believed he deserved from the writers and directors.

John Boyega, who has been open about it, has moved past the previous problems he encountered related to the Star Wars franchise. Though he remains a fan of the series, he’s ready to step away from that part of his life. Instead, his current goal is to establish a diverse acting career, avoiding being pigeonholed like Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher were with their Star Wars characters, as stated by Boyega himself.
