The star first explained how director changes in the ninth movie, The Rise of Skywalker, may have changed his character’s story.
Talking about the film, Boyega said: “I think Colin Trevorrow was [originally] going to tell that story.”
Speaking to Yahoo, the star went on to reference some concept art of Finn taking a more central role in the story.
In the concept art Finn was backed up by other Storm Troopers, as well as a fleet of AT-ATs, and his comrades Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo).
