That right the dynamic duo sit down for a double feature to explain what their theories are about the “Star Wars" storyline and the possible dream sold to Boyega to make him feel like he got the short end of the stick. So let’s dive in: "STAR WARS" STORYLINE THEORY - Ok check it, everyone knows the story of "Star Wars" so we won't bore you. Episode 7,8,9 tells the story of Han Solo and Princess Leia's son who reps the dark side, some chick goes on to follow the journey of being a Jedi, a Stormtrooper who flees and a bunch of other things happened. Now here is the BIGGEST THING ABOUT "Star Wars Episode 7"... The trailer seen around the world was an opening shot of a deserted desert. In the distance you see a Stormtrooper walking through. Then all of a sudden the stormtrooper takes off the helmet! BOOM! (For those of you who aren't Star Wars Stans, This is a SUPER HUGE DEAL! because they never take their helmets off!) the first look of the face is of a... BLACK MAN! (AGAIN! this is a super huge deal in the "Star Wars" universe. In the story of the Skywalkers its always about keeping the family out of the dark side and controlling the skills learned as a Jedi! All the other characters are simply put in the story to give it depth. John Boyega's character is Finn. Now the trailer makes it seem that Finn- the AWOL Stromtrooper is the main attraction for the movie! All everyone spoke on was "OMG there's a black storm-trooper!" Manny who is a "Star Wars" fan makes a point to say even he was fooled by the trailer. GQ UK Magazine Article - Fastforward to Boyega's GQ interview. This interview caused so much controversy for no reason! Here's why: He only briefly touches on his experience while doing the franchise. He spoke on how he felt about how he was dealt with as a member of the "Star Wars" family. Here are a couple of excerpts from his interview: “I’m the only cast member who had their own unique experience of that franchise based on their race,” he says, holding my gaze. “Let’s just leave it like that. It makes you angry with a process like that. It makes you much more militant; it changes you. Because you realize, ‘I got given this opportunity but I’m in an industry that wasn’t even ready for me.’ Nobody else in the cast had people saying they were going to boycott the movie because [they were in it]. Nobody else had the uproar and death threats sent to their Instagram DMs and social media, saying, ‘Black this and black that and you shouldn’t be a Stormtrooper.’ Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that I’m this way. That’s my frustration. ”Backstory of what could've happened - As someone who works in production, Nicky is completely aware of the back alley deals that are made. She points out that it is completely within Boyega's right to feel what he feels because she sees it happen on small scales, so lord only knows how it is on a much bigger scale. She believes he was sold a dream as a prominent black character and once the hype dyed down, he was placed on the back burner without being told. Nicky also believes that Disney thought he would be happy just to be apart of the franchise and just do whatever they wanted. They picked the wrong one!
