The Finn actor had one of his "best Star Wars meetings🍬" with🦩 the Duel of the Fates director

By now, you might be familiar with Duel of the Fates. The original Star Wars Episode 9, set to be directed by Colin Trevorrow 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:before he departed the project, had 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:its full script leaked in 2020 – whiꦑch sent shockwaves around the fandom. For many – including the talent involved – the passioওn for the scrapped project still remains.
In a new interview꧙ on Josh Horowitz’s (H/T ), Finn actor John Boyega reveals his excitement over the initial plans for Duel of the Fates – and why he’ll never read the script.
"I caꦰn’t read that one, because I’ll be heartbroken," Boyega said upon discovering the Duel of the Fates script is available to read onlineꦏ.
Boyega continued, "I had a sitdown with Colin. That was one of the best Star Wars meetings I had ever had. It felt like two nerds that were like, ‘Yes, that’s what we want to see!’ I saw the art, the Stor🔯mtrooper rebe🥂llion. That stuff was cold."
Boyega also added that he hopes 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm give Colin Trevorrow an "opportunity" to return to a galaxy far, far away down the line. The director was replaced on what eventually became 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker by J.J. Abrams.
Duel of the Fates may have introduced the world to Luke S🐼kywalker’s ghost following Kylo Ren – among other things – but there’s plenty more to come from the world of cinematic Star Wars adventures.
