10 Wholesome Behind-The-Scenes Star Wars Moments
9. John Boyega Reacts To Seeing Himself In The Force Awakens Trailer
John Boyega's time in the galaxy far, far away may not have gone the way many would have liked, but that will never change the fact that it started out in the most delightful way imaginable.
One could only imagine the feeling of being cast as one of the central characters in a Star Wars movie. It must have been surreal turning up to set each day and walking around the Millennium Falcon with Han Solo and Chewbacca.
The whole experience probably felt like a dream for Boyega. But that dream likely felt a little bit more real when the Brit finally got to watch the first trailer for Episode VII - The Force Awakens.
As the entire planet stopped what they were doing and glued their eyes to a screen, Boyega was captured doing the same thing at home and understandably losing his mind. There he was, speaking Finn's words and holding the Skywalker family lightsaber, with that latter shot being enough to send the actor flying over his own couch!
It's the sort of overwhelming and unbelievable moment that would leave any long-time Star Wars lover exploding with joy, and watching a giddy Boyega do precisely that will always induce a smile.
