John Boyega 33, believes that “Star Wars” It has a white and elitist space. The actor made the statement in the documentary “Number One on the Call Sheet: Black Leading Men In Hollywood”, by AppleTV+.
“Let me tell you, Star Wars has always had the vibe of being in the white and elitist space. It’s such a white franchise that the presence of a black person in her was already something,” said Finn’s interpreter in “Awakening of Force,” “The Last Jedi” and “The Skywalker Ascension.”
“You always realize it’s something when some Star Wars fans try to say, ‘Well, we had Calrissian and Samuel L. Jackson!’ It’s like telling me how many chocolate drops in the cookie pasta. They just spread it there, bro! ”
John Boyega condemned the reaction of Star Wars fans for black actors in the saga. “They are ok with us playing the role of the best friend, but when we touch their heroes, when we lead, when we open the way, it is like:” Oh my God, this is a little too much! They are surrendering to politically correct, “he said.
