10 Most Unusual Demands By Star Wars Actors
5. A "Cooler" Costume For Finn - John Boyega
John Boyega has certainly held nothing back in detailing his mixed experience of working on the sequel trilogy, though while shooting The Last Jedi he had just one major ask for director Rian Johnson - some cooler duds for Finn. He said:
"I went in and we just spoke about the character, spoke about the scenes. It was actually a real casual conversation about what he was planning to do. I asked for a much more cool-looking costume. I wanted to look way more Resistance than I did in VII."
Though Boyega says that Johnson obliged, Finn still spends most of the movie wearing the same jacket he wore in The Force Awakens, and it wasn't until The Rise of Skywalker that he got some truly snazzy Resistance threads.
Then again, Boyega might be alone in thinking that original jacket wasn't up to much - it's pretty damn cool itself.
