Ridley’s Big Hope for Finn’s Return
In a recent interview, Ridley didn’t hold back when asked if she wants Boyega to join her in the new Star Wars films. Her response? An enthusiastic “Absolutely, of course. It feels like we should, yeah.”
This isn’t just professional courtesy—Ridley and Boyega formed a tight bond during the sequel trilogy, and she’s clearly rooting for more time to explore their characters’ connection. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to see Rey and Finn kicking ass together again?
Finn Deserved Better, and We’re Still Mad About It
Let’s talk about Finn. He started off so strong—a stormtrooper who broke free from the First Order, grappling with guilt and finding his way. That’s A+ character arc material! But as the sequels went on, Finn’s story got pushed to the sidelines, and fans were left wondering: what the heck happened?
The consensus among fans? Boyega—and Finn—deserved better. One comment sums it up perfectly: “Honestly, they’re talented actors but they were just given poor writing and character development. Not their fault.”
It’s no wonder fans are holding onto hope that the new storyline will finally let Finn shine. “Hopefully they actually utilize him as a character this time,” another fan wrote, capturing what we’re all thinking.
A New Chapter for Finn?
Here’s the dream: Finn’s story picks up where it left off, diving into his hinted Force sensitivity and maybe—just maybe—his journey to becoming a Jedi. Imagine the parallels to Rey’s own path and the emotional weight of Finn fully stepping into his potential. It’s the kind of storytelling we’ve been waiting for.
Daisy Ridley wants John Boyega back. The fans want him back. And if Lucasfilm is paying attention, this could be the redemption arc Finn—and Boyega—deserve.
