John Boyega Says ‘The Last Jedi’ Was The Worst Of The Sequel Trilogy
There is no film in the Star Wars cannon as divisive as 2017’s The Last Jedi. The second film in the sequel trilogy was helmed by Rian Johnson, and reintroduced a very bitter Luke Skywalker to the franchise.
The film’s treatment of Skywalker, combined with a strange trip for Rose and Finn to the casino town of Canto Bight, have been topics of the debate among Star Wars fans since the film’s debut.
While some have praised the film for its fresh take on classic Star Wars formats, and celebrated the off-beat path the film took, others have criticized The Last Jedi for seemingly being unconnected to the films that came before and after it.
John Boyega Ranks His Star Wars Films
As the debate continues to rage on social media, John Boyega has entered the fray.
The actor, who portrayed Finn in all three of the sequel trilogy films, was recently asked to rank the Star Wars movies that he starred in.
With both ease, and perhaps a little bit of glee at being able to stir up some Star Wars controversy, Boyega quickly declared The Force Awakens “most definitely the best” of the newer Star Wars films.
After calling The Rise of Skywalker the second best of the three, Boyega dropped the hammer.
“And then the worst—in the most respectful sense—is Episode VIII. But they’re all lovely.” Boyega then shot a side-eye to the camera, which said everything he needed too.
While Boyega’s comments will likely not settle The Last Jedi debate, it is interesting to hear that someone instrumental in making the film was not enamored with the final product. You can watch Boyega’s response below!
