John Boyega isn’t happy with how his character was treated in the latest Star Wars trilogy. The actor made the bold move of blasting Disney for sidelining his character Finn over the course of three films in the blockbuster franchise, claiming that producers saved “all the nuance” for his white co-stars Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley.

As fans know, the 28-year-old played a Stormtrooper turned resistance fighter in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker.
