The Finn actor added that he would've loved to have seen them adapt some material from the video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

John Boyega has revealed how he would've done the Star Wars sequels, and it involves fulfilling the "legacy" of characters like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.

"If I was a producer on Star Wars from the beginning," the actor, who played stormtrooper-turned-rebel Finn, said at Florida Supercon 2025 (via Popverse), "you would have had a whole completely different thing. It would be mad. First of all, we're not getting rid of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, all these people. We're not doing that. The first thing we're going to do is fulfil their story, fulfil their legacy. We're going to make a good moment of handing on the baton."

At the risk of spoiling things for those who haven't seen it – though we'll assume that if you'll still reading, you're well versed in all things Skywalker Saga – Harrison Ford's Han Solo was fatally stabbed by his son Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in 2015's The Force Awakens. Luke (Mark Hamill), on the other hand, had a non-speaking cameo at the end of the movie, before going on to meet his own demise in 2017's The Last Jedi. (And if that wasn't enough, Carrie Fisher's Leia dies in 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, though it's worth noting that that narrative decision was prompted by Fisher's death prior to filming).
