The Season 2 announcement of The Mandalorian was, unfortunately, covered with another controversy on the Star Wars world.
At the same day that it was announced, British-Nigerian actor John Boyega (played as Finn in the film franchise) made an exclusive interview with British GQ, exposing his bad experiences as a 'black' actor in the set of the famous film.
He highlighted that Disney did not treat him well enough or other black actors on the set, compared to his white co-actors.
"You knew what to do with these other people, but when it came to Kelly Marie Tran, when it came to John Boyega, you know f- all. So what do you want me to say? What they want you to say is, 'I enjoyed being a part of it. It was a great experience...' Nah, nah, nah. I'll take that deal when it's a great experience. They gave all the nuance to Adam Driver, all the nuance to Daisy Ridley. Let's be honest. Daisy knows this. Adam knows this. Everybody knows. I'm not exposing anything," he said.
As of now, Disney nor Lucasfilm have not yet commented on this matter.
