Can you elaborate?

[(Anonymous)]

He was in the running for Finn. He's been on Breaking Bad and Fargo most recently both where he gave great performances.

[(Anonymous)]

Why?

[morieris]

Who is this.

[silverr]

GRIS says Jesse Plemons.

[kaijinscendre]

Jesse Plemons who was in Breaking Bad and Fargo (that I've watched). And he was amazing in both.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought it was an old picture of Mark Wahlberg. Oops.

[(Anonymous)]

Because there just aren't enough generic brown-haired white guys in lead roles.

[(Anonymous)]

Because who wants a good actor when you can have a diversity™ actor!

[(Anonymous)]

There aren't many fat one's to be fair.

[iggy]

Yeah, Finn definitely needed to be a white guy!

... :\

(Honestly this secret makes me sad. Boyega is so adorable.)

[(Anonymous)]

But Boyega is so ugly...

[(Anonymous)]

So basically race is your deciding factor?

[(Anonymous)]

Finn's race is pretty irrelevant and doesn't affect the character or the story, he could have been Asian or Latino and it would be the same.

[elaminator]

Well I'm at least glad he wasn't. Boyega was perfect from my POV; the guy is a great actor and charming as hell. He's so pleased and excited to have the role too that I couldn't help but be happy for him even before seeing his performance. (He's a big fan and looks like he won the lottery when he talks about it. It's adorable.)

But I think I've only seen this guy in a few episodes of Fargo and I didn't care for him or anyone else. His acting wasn't bad, I just didn't connect with the characters.

Anyway, I think it's great to have a bit more diversity in SW.

[sarillia]

I haven't seen the movie yet but I agree that he's really adorable out of character.

Hopefully you made the diversity part sufficiently afterthought-like to avoid people accusing you of not caring about acting ability.

[morieris]

Exactly this, sans actually having watched Fargo. I'm sure this person is fine, and as long as people like Kellan Lutz, Taylor Kitch, and to a slightly lesser extent, Chris Hemsworth keep getting chances to star in stuff, he will too.

[nightscale]

John Boyega is so cute, so goddamn cute. Like I love that he loves being in these movies and is so excited about it(and I'm not even a huge fan but seeing his enthusiasm is wonderful). I saw a gifset(either posted by you or someone else) where it was a mock-interview or something at a photo-shoot and someone was asking him for an autograph so he roots through his bags to find a pen and it's full of Star Wars toys and he keeps pulling out more and more, it was great. Like he pokes fun at himself for being such a big fan, it's adorable.

[(Anonymous)]

"Finn" has the Gaelic meaning of "fair (blonde)", so my inner name-meanings geek is a bit irked by Star Wars using it for a non-blonde character, even though there's no reason a galaxy far far away would use Earth linguistics for naming in the first place...

(I had the same issue with Princess Fiona in Shrek, so I know my ire will fade with time.)

[nightscale]

I have no idea who this guy is, he could have been amazing as Finn for all I know, but I am completely happy with Boyega in the role as I found him so adorable and sweet.

[otakugal15]

[(Anonymous)]

Ew, fuck Todd. Boyega was awesome.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yay a racist asshole troll!

[(Anonymous)]

thank god he wasn't, Boyega is cute and this potato is not
