In the wake of some Star Wars ‘fans’ harassing its stars off social media, John Boyega has added his thoughts.

And he’s not too happy some who claim they are fans are spoiling the franchise for others – and for the stars, especially.

The actor – who played Stormtrooper Finn – took to Twitter this week to air his grievances towards the pests in the wake of Kelly Marie Tran being forced off social media by a bunch of harassers who apparently didn’t like the direction her character, Rose, went in on The Last Jedi.

He tweeted: ‘If you don’t like Star Wars or the characters understand that there are decisions makers and harassing the actors/ actresses will do nothing. You’re not entitled to politeness when your approach is rude. Even if you paid for a ticket!

‘To the majority of Star Wars fans thank you for supporting and putting yourselves in our shoes. You understand that there is a process so much appreciated ! (sic)’



After the 26-year-old sent out the blast, castmate Mark Hamill, AKA Luke Skywalker, warned him to be aware of the aftermath as he might be met with the wrath of fans.

Hamill tweeted Boyega: ‘Be careful there son- the last time I let a fan put themself in my shoes, they just took off running & sold them on Ebay.’

Boyega quipped: ‘Don’t worry dad ! I got spares !’

Taking advantage of the uptake in traffic on his page, Boyega took the opportunity to let his fans know he’s currently filming another instalment, which is sure to excite the lot of you.

He said: ‘EP 9 loading… see ya! (sic)’

That’s how you drop the mic!

It comes as a trolling Facebook union ‘took responsibility’ for forcing Kelly, as well as previously Daisy Ridley offline with their taunts, as they want to bring Star Wars back to its ‘straight, white male hero vibe.’

Wrong on so many levels.
