What did John Boyega say about the New Jedi Order movie?

He said he doesn’t know anything about it and joked he’s the “Tom Holland of Star Wars.”

Where did he make this statement?

At Liverpool Comic Con during a panel discussion.

Is Finn confirmed for the New Jedi Order film?

No, Boyega stated he has not been contacted or informed about involvement.

Is the New Jedi Order movie confirmed?

Yes, Lucasfilm has confirmed the film, with Daisy Ridley returning as Rey.

Could Boyega return to Star Wars in the future?

He hasn’t ruled it out—he’s open under the right creative conditions.

John Boyega Says He Knows Nothing About Rey’s New Jedi Order Movie

John Boyega is back at it with the best Star Wars energy imaginable.
During a panel at Liverpool Comic Con, the actor behind Finn was asked—again—whether he knows anything about the upcoming New Jedi Order movie starring Daisy Ridley as Rey.

His answer?
Peak Boyega. Peak chaos. Peak honesty.

“Trust me I’m like the Tom Holland of Star Wars, once I know something I’ll let you know.”

Somewhere out there, Lucasfilm PR felt a disturbance in the Force.

Boyega’s “Tom Holland of Star Wars” Quote Is Instantly Legendary

If there’s one thing Boyega has mastered over the years, it’s turning every interview into a mix of sincerity and stand-up comedy. Comparing himself to Tom Holland—the king of accidental Marvel spoilers—is perfect.

He’s basically saying:

If Lucasfilm trusted him with secret info
He absolutely couldn’t keep quiet
And fans would hear it instantly

Honestly, respect.

But the bigger takeaway?
Boyega insists he knows nothing about the film… at least not yet.

So What Does This Mean for Finn in the Post-Episode IX Era?

Right now, the upcoming New Jedi Order movie (from director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy) is confirmed to star Daisy Ridley, focusing on Rey rebuilding the Jedi Order 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker.

As for Finn?

Well… this quote pretty much confirms:

No official talks (yet)
No cameo (yet)
No secret involvement (yet)

But Boyega has recently softened on returning to Star Wars—especially under the right creative conditions.

He’s been clear about wanting strong writing…
He’s been open about appreciating the fans…
And he definitely hasn’t closed the door forever.

So while he may not be in the New Jedi Order film today, the galaxy is big, timelines are long, and Finn’s story has unfinished threads.

Why Fans Still Want Finn Back

Finn’s arc has become one of the most discussed in the sequel trilogy—largely because fans felt the character had much more to offer.

A former stormtrooper turned Resistance hero?
A Force-sensitive awakening never fully explored?
A dynamic connection to Rey and Poe?

There’s so much potential left on the table that any future Jedi Order story feels incomplete without at least acknowledging him.

And Boyega knows how much love fans have for the character.

Boyega’s Humor Shows His Relationship With Star Wars Has Healed

Let’s be honest—the years after the sequel trilogy weren’t easy.
Boyega was open about his frustration, and rightly so.

But his tone at recent conventions has been lighter, funnier, and more playful:

He’s joked about returning
He’s praised the fans
He celebrated the Finn–Poe dynamic
And now he’s comparing himself to Tom Holland

This doesn’t sound like someone done with Star Wars forever.
It sounds like someone waiting for the right moment—and the right script.

If He Ever Does Know Something… He’ll Tell Us

That’s the promise.
That’s the quote.
That’s the most Boyega thing ever.

If he gets the call from Lucasfilm, we won’t need insiders, leaks, or half-baked rumors.

He’ll probably livestream his excitement before the ink dries.

Until then, Rey’s new Jedi Order is taking shape—and the door for Finn remains wide open.
