The Road So Far

Oh, my decision? Well, I-I think we’ve seen how effective my decisions have been. Let’s re-cap. I lead a band of plundering vandals to the greatest archaeological find in recorded history, thus enabling the kidnap and/or murder of the royal family, not to mention personally delivering the most powerful force known to man into the hands of a mercenary nutcase who’s probably gonna sell it to the Kaiser! Have I left anything out? Well, you did set the camp on fire and drop us down that big hole. Thank you! Thank you very much. 

Let’s talk about John Boyega and when Disney Lucasfilm did to him

There was a promise Disney Lucasfilm made when they cast John Boyega as Finn, the male lead & co-protagonist of the sequel trilogy. They broke that promise & this is a conversation we need to have. John Boyega & Finn deserved better

For the longest time I wondered if people still cared about what happened to John Boyega. I wondered if the racism of Disney Lucasfilm had just gone unnoticed, but to my surprise, lots of people still do care. 

So I wanted to go over what actually happened to John Boyega and his experience with Disney Lucasfilm.

Especially after this most recent tweet of theirs:

Where was this energy for John Boyega? Kelly Marie Tran? Naomi Ackie? 

I support this sentiment but considering where this is coming from, the people who did nothing for Naomi Ackie, Kelly Marie Tran, Thandie Newton and participated in the racism against John Boyega by sidelining him, and mistreating every black character, this feels performative

So with that being said, I made this video where I recounted everything that Disney Lucasfilm did to John Boyega. 

I want people to know this story. I want people to know what John Boyega went through. I want people to know what John Boyega meant when he said his experience in Star Wars was based off his race:

So if you care about John Boyega, if you care about justice for his character Finn, or if you just want people to know what happened, watch this video and share it around. 

Reblog it so everyone knows.
