Part 9/13:
Boyega himself dismisses the notion that his race influenced the marginalization of his character, asserting that the issues stem from Disney's incompetence and mismanagement. He likened the franchise’s handling of Finn to other missteps, such as mishandling characters like Poe Dameron and Leia, and criticized the inconsistent storytelling and priorities of the creators.
He maintains that the treatment of Finn was not racially driven but a symptom of broader franchise mismanagement and scripting failures. Boyega stresses that his experience of racial discrimination, including the death threats, was distinct and more severe than what other cast members faced.
