Good grief. What the heck is he talking about? I loved his character in The Force Awakens. He was a Stormtrooper who managed to overcome his brainwashing after being rescued by "Top Gun"-style pilot Po Dameron.
But it just goes to show Daisy Ridley that thinking that us Trump voters are crazy is simply not good enough nowadays.

The dude still cashed a sweet paycheck. Got no pity.

There should not have even been a black stormtrooper ... they were all cloned from a white guy!
Disney went out of their way to make a PC movie ... why is he complaining?

This has already happened with the Kelvin timeline in ST which has been terminated and declared not canonical. That's too bad. The three principals, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy were really well cast. If only they just made something like TOS into movies and not mucked around with alternate timelines instead of whatever it is JJ did, it could have been good.

He played a character that was a loyal soldier to an oppressive, tyrannical system, who had an epiphany and turned on his old masters to fight for freedom.
No wonder he's pissed off, he was portrayed as a conservative!

Rose was the most pointless character... bad enough the role was poorly written, the actress couldnt act her way out of a paper bag...
But hardly is she the first star wars actor to be sub par.
She was another Kennedy woke nonsense garbage. How Kennedy still has a job is beyond me.

“John Boyega has slammed Disney for ‘sidelining’ his Star Wars character and giving ‘all the nuance’ to his white co-stars Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley.”
The days first sermon from the Church of the Perpetually Aggrieved.

How about creating black characters under new movie plot-lines rather than butcher the existing movie history?

How about writing films with interesting stories and who gives a blank what the skin color of the actor is.

Maybe he is a piece of wood and cannot act??
To: C19fan
Hint.
There was one Luke and one Vader.
There were tens of thousands cloned stormtroopers.
The movie series did not revolve around a select group of extras.

The best they can do is give minority actors unique and new characters, rather than take existing movie lines and force race and gender into the production. That's what I think they should do, but Hollywood has gone down the SJW rabbit hole willingly.

Right? When I was a kid, Lando Calrissian’s (BD Williams) skin color was the last thing i cared about.

The reins will be handed back to Lucas who will rewrite canon correctly.Right. And JarJar will finally become a Jedi Master.
