Interesting Quote: John Boyega



“What’s so funny, I posted a video the other day of myself working out, skipping, and in the background Oscar is just like, ‘Yeah baby go on!’ and people just went crazy.

“But as far as I’m concerned, when JJ [Abrams] sat us down to go through the script, it was a bromance. But now I’m learning what Mark Hamill said before when he didn’t know that Darth Vader was Luke’s father: you never know what they’re going to pull. I’m looking at the director Rian [Johnson] closely so he can get me involved early, so I can prepare myself. So who knows?”
So there could be a Finn and Poe romance?

"Fans" Whine over Star Wars' John Boyega in a Stormtrooper Suit


Star Wars: The Force Awakens release a teaser last week.

In it, we saw the debut of 22-year-old John Boyega, who was dressed as a Stormtrooper. While many cheered this teaser, many were upset that the stormtrooper was Black.

John was cool about this. He posted this statement on his Instagram:

But really, folks. What is the deal ass deal? For all we know, he could be in disguise. It's so ridic that "fans" are acting so childish over this?

So, he's Black, so what! The stormtroopers are clones from Jango Fett... The actor who plays Jango is a person of color. What's the issue, "fans"?

Lord, these folks are trying it!
