Finn spent most of Star Wars: The Force Awakens running like hell away from the First Order, who had raised him since childhood to be one of their followers and ultimately a Stormtrooper. Actor John Boyega told IGN today that Finn's next encounter with the First Order in this December's Star Wars: The Last Jedi "doesn't come without a fight" for his character.

As was revealed during Star Wars Celebration, at one point during The Last Jedi Finn is joined by new character Rose (Kelly Marie Tran), a Resistance worker, on a mission that takes them undercover in The First Order. I asked Boyega during a phone interview today how Finn must feel returning to the very organization he so desperately tried to escape from in the previous film."Well, it's like imagine you work at McDonald's. You push your manager into a chute compactor and then a year later you decide to go back dressed as one of the colleagues. It's not the best situation," said Boyega. "There's a lot of chasing, there's a mission that needs to be completed but that isn't necessarily something that doesn't come without a fight and it's something that he's gonna have to face for himself."Boyega continued, "But it was fun for me. I always wanted to go undercover. Star Wars undercover is different because you wear a hat and all of a sudden no one recognizes you. ... I'd be thinking to myself walking in one of those scenes, isn't anyone gonna go, 'Wait, isn't that Finn?' Do you know what I mean? But such is the magic of Star Wars. It's fun. It's fun to do. It's cool."John Boyega's new film, Detroit, expands into wide theatrical release this Friday, August 4. Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens December 15.
