My role is a big deal in Star Wars The Last Jedi: John Boyega

Actor John Boyega says his Star Wars character is a big deal in The Last Jedi. The 25-year-old actor plays Finn in the new trilogy of the popular sci-fi franchise which started with Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015, and has teased details about his character in the upcoming movie, which is the eighth installment in the saga, reported Entertainment Tonight.

“Finn’s a big deal. Hes a big deal in the resistance now. I mean, you’ve got to think about it, between (episodes) VII and VIII, people have now heard about all the amazing things that he has done,” said Boyega.

“And now he’s, like, waving and saying hi to all the resistance ladies around. It is that kind of transition, it’s crazy! It’s a fun time,” added Boyega.
