John Boyega teases a Star Wars comeback as Finn, hinting at talks with Daisy Ridley and hopes for a true Jedi arc.

John Boyega might soon bring Finn back to the Star Wars galaxy—and fans online are hyped. During a recent panel at Fan Expo Philadelphia, Boyega teased he’s open to reprising his role, hinting he’s even discussed the possibility with Daisy Ridley, who returns as Rey in upcoming projects.

After Disney sidelined Finn’s Jedi storyline in previous movies—a decision that sparked internet backlash—Boyega clarified he’s still passionate about the franchise, provided his character gets proper development.

Rumors point toward a trilogy written by Simon Kinberg, which Lucasfilm calls “the new saga,” potentially featuring Rey prominently. Meanwhile, Finn’s future is already getting some love with an upcoming novel, Star Wars: The Last Order, about Finn teaming up with Jannah to battle remnants of the First Order.

Boyega’s openness and cryptic hints have reignited hype among fans who hope the next films finally fulfill Finn’s potential—especially his long-awaited journey as a Jedi.
