What else has this “actor” done?

He peaked in his first movie. It’s a South London alien invasion comedy. Nick Frost has an entertaining supporting role. Subtitles needed because the accents are heavy.

A lot of us think Lucas ruined it with the stories in the prequels and everything after was another half-assed attempt.

But I'm probably at the age where I can yell about someone being on my lawn, so there's that.

Glad that they reported this so that the white people that will never watch this documentary series can get upset over it.

Boyega mentions the fans, but it sounds like he has more of a problem with what the producers did; and maybe THEY tried to dump the blame on the fans.

Consider: In TFA, he was primed to be the lead actor going forward.
HE was the guy that was tight with Rey, and it seemed like there was room for those two becoming a couple. He was protective of her, she was the reason he wasn't just heading out on his own after deserting from the First Order.
He was also becoming besties with Poe, and that dynamic was what was linking Rey and Poe working together towards fighting Snoke.

That was all dropped by the next movie, he was dumped off on some chubby Asian who fit nowhere in the Star Wars dynamics.
Maybe the producers said "we did some test screening, and the fans just don't accept you becoming the romantic lead"

Fwiw, I don't think they bothered to do that, because what they did produce wouldn't have made it out of pre-screening either.

Mostly, I think he's pissed because he THOUGHT he could become the next Harrison Ford if they played it right, and they screwed everything up.

Star Wars enthusiasts have never griped about an actor’s race, but they’re quick to criticize subpar acting and writing. Take James Earl Jones, for instance, no one’s ever grumbled about him, and his name rarely even comes up. Yet, he delivered an impeccable performance as the voice of the most iconic character in the franchise.
