    I Read this article https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/201...ill-react-to-star-wars-the-force-awakens.html

    It got me thinking,What if John Boyega is the acting week link in this movie,He is using A fake Accent.We have been Assaulted of with images of John Boyega doing nothing but running and making weird facial expressions of dumbfoundment.Also maybe his Star Wars Fandom has Fandom has to come into question .Who Remembers at Star Wars celebration .He had to incite the crowd to applaud for him and his love for The Force Unleashed on PS3.

    Here is one last thought A theory,if you will.What if it was Disney's Public Relations Department was behind the whole boycott star wars because theres A black actor.To cover for John Boyega's poor acting.So if you dont like John Boyega's Acting Your A racist .I only state this because of Chuck Wendig came out and said the negative reviews of his book Star Wars Aftermath was because of "HomoPhobia" http://www.cnet.com/news/star-wars-author-scolds-homophobic-fan-reviewers/


    Ill end This by saying I hope John Boyega's Portrayal of Finn is Awsome and for Stars Wars 7 to be great

    He did not have to incite the crowd. That is dumb.

    He looks great in everything seen so far.

    The master plan was:

    Buy rights to make a Star Wars film from Lucas.
    Insist a character that defects from the Empire be black.
    Create a bunch of twitter accounts for years, to establish credibility.
    When its revealed a black guy has a Star Wars part, protest this with these accounts.
    Then use the disdain of this tactic to promote a film that's already one of the largest cinematic franchises in world history?

    Yeah, sounds like solid public relations to me.

    Have you seen Attack the Block? He's fantastic.
    If there's a weak link in TFA, it won't be him.

    I don't think you have anything to fear. By all accounts, he's a phenomenal actor and we have no reason to doubt his performance will be excellent. And why point out Boyega? Why not Ridley or Driver? People seem to be complaining about Daisy's acting... which is something I find exceptionally silly.

    Let the movie come out. Watch it first.

    PLEASE learn the difference between

    "There are a bunch of crazy racists/homophobes who hate X because they are racist/homophobic"

    and

    "If you don't like X then you are also a racist/homophobe."

    PLEASE.

    Unless I've been looking at the wrong footage....his acting is one of the strongest bits of the promos.

    But please, if someone can direct me to examples of his bad acting in this, I beg of you to please show me.

    Looking at those ratings :p I'm not even going to waste time debating this. Ratings speak for themselves.

    The difference between Finn and Anakin Skywalker is the PT was built on Anakin so the development of the character and the actor who played him would make or break the Trilogy.

    I assume Rey is the Anakin/Luke of this Trilogy so Daisy Ridley is more important to the ST then John Boyega.
