Actor says his character's story has "never been seen before, but it also mirrors the stories of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo."

Star Wars: The Force Awakens remains a tantalizing few months away, but John Boyega — who plays Finn in the movie — promises that it'll be an emotional experience when it finally arrives. After all, the screenplay alone moved him to tears.

"When I read the script I cried," the actor told GQ, "and I'm not really a big crier. I'm more like a frog-in-the-throat kind of guy, who'll try to hold it in and make sure I don't let it all out." (Of course, perhaps he was just crying with relief because it had taken him so long to nail down the part; Boyega also told the magazine that it took seven months of auditions before he got the role, calling it "like The X Factor but without the TV show around it.")
