John Boyega on if He’ll Do More ‘Star Wars’: ‘You Ain’t Going to Disney Plus Me!’

John Boyega on if He’ll Do More ‘Star Wars’: ‘You Ain’t Going to Disney Plus Me!’

If you know anything about “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” it’s that the movie from director J.J. Abrams marks the official conclusion of the three-trilogy Skywalker Saga. But that does not necessarily mean that the characters created for the final trilogy — especially Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) — couldn’t have their stories told in future “Star Wars” projects.

That is, if the actors are willing to sign up for them.

“In what?” is John Boyega’s answer when Variety asked him on Tuesday what it would take for him to return to “Star Wars.”

“You ain’t going to Disney Plus me!” the actor added with a laugh.

Boyega is of course referring to the slate of “Star Wars” TV series set for Disney’s streaming service. While Disney Plus hasn’t released viewership numbers for the currently-streaming “The Mandalorian,” you’d have to be in a coma to miss the widespread obsession with the show’s breakout character of Baby Yoda. And there is significant fan enthusiasm for the spin-off series planned for Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, and for “Rogue One” character Cassian Andor (Diego Luna).

Boyega, however, is not keen to join their ranks.

“I ain’t getting no Disney Plus!” he says. “I’m watching it, though, but I’ll stay in the feature films.”

And Boyega made clear that he would hypothetically be interested in making another “Star Wars” movie.

“As long as Daisy and Oscar are down for it, then I’ll come back,” he says.

Ridley and Isaac, however, are much less gung-ho.

“I don’t know,” Isaac tells Variety. He says that while he would miss the camaraderie he experienced making the trilogy, starting with 2015’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” he sees “The Rise of Skywalker” as “the closing of a chapter of my life.”

“[I’m] happy and feeling fulfilled that the task is complete,” he says. “So I can’t imagine what it would be that would make me want to redo this thing or revisit it.”

Ridley feels the same way. “I just don’t know if anything could top this one, honestly,” she says. “I think it’s just a great story and a great close, and even though obviously the characters continue to exist, it would have to be so extraordinary [to return], and I don’t know if that’s possible.”

In other words, do, or do not — they probably will not try.

Based Boyega is Bailing on Baddies

Boyega is like the least "bailing" of the actors in that article. Both Isaacs and Ridley are engaging in classic actor-speak for "fuck no I'm not showing up for another of these abominations". Saying things feel completed now after spending months in reshoots reeks of putting lipstick on a pig of a situation and trying to make their exit without getting a reputation for trashing bad projects like Boyega is flirting with.

One of the many things these new movies lack is a really good villian i mean think about it.
OT had : vader, bobba, Sideus, Jabba , greedo, bosk, tarkin.
PT had : Sideus, Jango, doku, anakin, grevious, Maul.
Soy wars has : Kylo, snoke and phasma?

None of them are cool or meancing.
Kylo couldnt be threatening to save his life and Phasma is an obvious less cool jango ripoff who couldnt win a fight against an one armed ewok. Snoke is such a bitch he couldnt see his apprentice betraying him after seeing all the doubt in him.

 

[Love Machine]

You know its fucked when a character with about 15 minutes of screen time in a 20+ year old movie is more fondly remembered, and has more fan relevance, then the main characters of the newest trilogy.

I like how Hux is completely forgotten in this.

He's just that forgettable.

 

[Reverend]

>that story in TCW where the Gungans mattered and didn't suck ass

I'm surprised they didn't have it for John Wick 3

Thou Shalt Not Mention John Wick in thine Same Breath as Soy Wars blasphemer!

If the JediPaxis leaks are to be believed (and given that they've been pretty accurate so far) I'm suspecting that this Johnny Come Lately "General Pryde" will be another forgettable villain because apparently Hux is the mole inside the First Order!

Are your expectations subverted yet?

I only quoted about Mouse Wars. If quoting doesn't count towards "no one word replies" in A&H then it doesn't count here either.

Yeah he did get a couple good hits in, but he still went down like a sack of potatoes. Him trying to fry her out of desperation was ludicrous & quickly rendered pathetic when she just steps on his arm. I dunno man, this just reeks of girl power shit, but more than that the whole fight just seemed forced and a little unbelievable even for Star Wars.

They at least put in the work to explain that the girl was a former soldier and has some combat experience.

I get what you're saying, but on the gurrl pwr scale, this is like a 1 or 2.

Are you referring to the Ewoks knocking Stormtroopers out with rocks to the head? Yeah, I'll give you that. They're cute and silly carnivores though, so I let that slide. The Stormtroopers should've been able to massacre more of them and not go down so easily.

I do have this whole thing though that I'm convinced kids are going to grow up believing helmets are just fashion accessories and don't have any practical purposes...

If you're going to make a Gary Stu, make him the player character in a videogame and go ham. That's how you do it. I could even just take him as the ex-Imperial merc he was in Dark Forces and leave it at that, no Jedi skills required. He still had to punch a Krayt dragon to death at one point.

Kyle is the only meatbag worthy of our lord and savior, Skippy, the Jedi Droid calling "master."

And he didn't become a jedi. After punching out the Krayt dragons barefisted, the Force was too afraid to ever tell Kyle no.

So was Luke.

I dread to think how this is possible in a film. I can't think of any other film that's had an epilepsy warning on it. Either way, it implies that they do lots of quickfire cutting between bright and dark shots which in turn implies short scenes which in turn implies that they think little of their intended audience's attention span.

There was one recently.

Incredibles 2.

I remember seeing it on the theater.

Maybe Disney has something against epileptic people?


More fun I found.

Which is the thing that I hate most about CURRENT YEAR hollywood: you can't tell if a marginal case was simply poor execution or pandering preaching.

You and me both, brother. 110% agree

 

[Poe-Shen Zcela]

Yeah, @Judge Holden gave a good rant about this very issue a couple pages back. Hollywood has done more harm to women and minorities than any straight white male they decide to demonize for the week.

Crack in the facade. Just a small crack that drives you insane.

Just look at the comments for his “fandom menace” video. The EFAP fan base decimated it like how the 501st decimated the Jedi Temple

What ever happened to Timothy Rose? I thought fans would come to his aid? He okay?

I don't doubt most fans backed him up even on Twitter, but the only news I've seen of him lately are stories from the sets of Last Jedi and RotJ like this one:

Star Wars actor REFUSED to shoot this famous scene and threatened to walk out

STAR WARS actors love the franchise and their characters as much as the fans do. In a new interview, an iconic star reveals he refused to shoot one of the most famous moments in the entire franchise unless it was taken more seriously.

www.express.co.uk

Guy had more balls than Mark Hamill does today, apparently. Although he did deign himself to saying "IT'S A WRAP" for soyballoon Johnson's amusement, so I guess he's just old. Moment of weakness, you see.

HE'S OOOOLD. HE CALLED HIM A BOY.

All this Titenic talk makes me wish they were making the bougiest of beat-em-ups a movie instead:

Gotta love a guy who looks cool, wins some, and keeps his mouth shut. Lost art form.

I also love that no matter how many times hipsters shit on him, he will never stop being memorable. Oh, he got knocked off a skiff and into a Sarlacc pit, big shit. Look at all that techno-junk on his arms, or whatever's in his belt. He can get out of that. Meanwhile everybody loves the Mando for being "relatable" (read: losing).

EDIT:

More fun I found.

Man I miss seeing Jared memes on EFAP. He was so much fucking fun. At least he got onto EFAP before he threatened some livestream edgelords and his dad with murder or whatever it was that happened.

 

[Marissa Moira]

I hope Ryan Johnson does direct Mandalorean season 2. Warner Brothers just bought up nearly all the fucking anime which means Crunchy Roll is now fucked and will soon die and there will be now one streaming service for dedicated nerd shit. Johnson is probably the only person who could kill Disney+ by shitting all over their newfound moderate success.

And it's pretty fucking serious attempt because not only does the WB now have Studio Ghibli's whole catalog, they're wheeling and dealing to get shit made like more seasons of Everyday Life with Monster Girls and Dragon Maid and will premiere only on that service.

Mickey Mouse will be cucked by Bugs Bunny.

 

[Poe-Shen Zcela]

The absolute state of Star Wars:

moved on Twitter

“the sequel cast are so done with star wars yikes https://t.co/deHWf6OfZ0”

Me when reading through the Twitter thread and reflecting on it all:

I missed the Jared train. Care to fill in a bot?

I missed the Jared train. Care to fill in a bot?

I wasn't there when it happened, but some time after Jared made his debut on EFAP, he had finally reached 1000 subs (again*) and could start doing livestreams on his own channel. What I heard is during his livestream he had somebody in the chat either trolling him or accusing him of being a pedophile or something, and at some point Jared lost it and started making threats about finding and killing the guy. Then his dad told him to shut up and go to bed from the other room and that made Jared even more pissed. He threatened to kill his dad on his first livestream. At that point, MauLer and co felt like they couldn't associate with or mention him anymore. He mentioned something about how making death threats in videos violated YouTube policy.

Here was MauLer's official statement on the whole situation:

It sucks, but I'll always remember the Jared memes fondly. Tonald may be a god-tier EFAP meme, but Tonald basically took Jared's place. Everybody loved him.

*Jared had a habit of nuking his YouTube before he reached 1000 subs for some reason.

She doesn't have the Domino marks, her eye is just shadowed in that pic. But Disney and Chuck Wendig did bring Deadpool into Star Wars in the form of a very VERY obnoxious droid who is a queer and twitterized hipster version of HK-47 who I've talked about in length before.

Disney drones proudly call this abomination the Deadpool of Star Wars or HK-47 but better because he acts just like Deadpool and makes "le funny quips XD" about killing for lulz and space chimichangas. Also his name is Mr. Bones and he was created by Snap Wexley aka Nu-Porkins. Its also said that he is the final fate of HK-47 (from KOTOR) in Disney canon... They couldn't even come up with an original design for this thing, they just used a regular B1 Battle Droid and gave it Deadpool's color scheme. Again, another good reason to purge

Mr. Bones is an abomination to all droid kind. May Skippy's holy wrath smite the degenerate.
