Jon Boyega is playing Finn in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and it looks like his character is going to play a big part in the new film. In the latest behind the scenes featurette, Boyega talks a little bit about his character’s history and how he longs to leave the life of a stormtrooper behind.
“There is this feeling in him, that I want to mean something more. I want to find the good in myself. So the decision is to leave his stormtrooper days behind. That leads him to meeting Rey and they embark on this journey together.” Boyega said.
It doesn’t sound like that’s going to be an issue as we’ve already seen Finn wielding a lightsaber in quite a few of the clips for the film. So it’s safe to say that his life is about to change drastically.
