What he will say about the movie is that Finn is on a journey, much like the origin stories of gods and superheroes from other mythologies. “All the characters we love — Batman, Spider-Man — never ever start off as those guys,” Boyega says in his rich British accent.

Yeah. And on the flip side of that there's a whole generation of kids for whom this is gonna be their first Star Wars movie.

Absolutely.

The lead is being played by a black man wielding a lightsaber. Their first Jedi, like their first president, is black. Is that a responsibility you thought of before going into it?

No. (Pauses.) I am 23, so I don't have information about the way the world works when it comes to different mentalities. What I'm being exposed to now is new. I'm not the ordinary when it comes to this stuff. To me, going into a Star Wars film, having a responsibility to the world — I feel like if I thought about that my audition would not have been great. I would have been crying and making speeches halfway through the audition. For me, I went in as an actor. That has always been the main fixation. Whatever inspiration anyone draws from that is absolutely fantastic. It's always good to feel like you're involved in anything positive. In terms of my approach to Star Wars the main fixation to me was the role, the story and making sure Star Wars is honored in a very respectable way.

somewhat off topic, but i've been watching the clone wars cgi show. Show is better than most of the prequel trilogy. especially episode 1 and 2. plus it makes parts of 3 more :mjcry: cause you get to know more of the jedi warriors and see more of obi and anakin.

have you watched rebels?

only like a episode or two. I'll do it fully once i finish Clone Wars.

When I rewatched ep. 3 after the clone wars and saw Plo Koon get merked :mjcry:

The animated prequels are definitely better than the movies

Check out the Tartakovsky series from 2003 as well

Yeah I've heard folks say that they like the "Clone Wars" series so much, it made them like the prequel trilogy more than the original trilogy.

I still haven't watched the "Clone Wars" show, but I loved the Tartakovsky series from 2003.

It's a good bridge.

The stuff with Ahsoka Tano and Anakin is really good
