10 Biggest Behind The Scenes Star Wars Mistakes That Ever Happened
1. Bring In John Boyega As A New Leading Light (Only To Sideline Him) - Sequel Trilogy
For a trilogy over-flowing with potential and chances to really change the game when it came to all things Star Wars, arguably the biggest of example of failing to capitalise on either of those things can be found in the way John Boyega's Finn was handled throughout his time in the twin suns.
After being brought aboard and billed as a leading light upon setting foot in the galaxy far, far away as the reformed First Order stormtrooper in The Force Awakens, the Brit quickly found himself being nudged to one side in favour of centring much of the Skywalker Saga story and nuance on the likes of Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver's Rey and Kylo Ren, respectively.
Fans of Boyega's conflicted and charismatic Resistance fighter weren't the only ones entirely brassed off by the way Disney eventually treated the one-time prominent POC character either, with the star himself later telling GQ:
"What I say to Disney is do not market a Black character as important and then push them aside"
So, here's hoping Disney are wise enough to not make this sort of depressing mistake again in their future projects on both the big and small screen in the coming years.
