By now, you might be familiar with Duel of the Fates. The original Star Wars Episode 9, set to be directed by Colin Trevorrow before he departed the project, had its full script leaked in 2020 – which sent shockwaves around the fandom. For many – including the talent involved – the passion for the scrapped project still remains.
In a new interview on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast (H/T ComicBook.com), Finn actor John Boyega reveals his excitement over the initial plans for Duel of the Fates – and why he’ll never read the script.
"I can’t read that one, because I’ll be heartbroken," Boyega said upon discovering the Duel of the Fates script is available to read online.
Boyega continued, "I had a sitdown with Colin. That was one of the best Star Wars meetings I had ever had. It felt like two nerds that were like, ‘Yes, that’s what we want to see!’ I saw the art, the Stormtrooper rebellion. That stuff was cold."
Duel of the Fates may have introduced the world to Luke Skywalker’s ghost following Kylo Ren – among other things – but there’s plenty more to come from the world of cinematic Star Wars adventures.
