STAR WARS: John Boyega Admits Rian Johnson's THE LAST JEDI Was "Worst" Movie In The Sequel Trilogy

The entire Star Wars sequel trilogy was divisive, with The Force Awakens dismissed as a rip-off of A New Hope and The Rise of Skywalker derided for being a rushed, unsatisfying conclusion.

As for The Last Jedi, despite being a well-made movie, filmmaker Rian Johnson's middle entry looks set to forever divide opinions. That's primarily down to the way Luke Skywalker was portrayed, with the Jedi Knight a washed-up hermit who had turned his back on the Galaxy during the First Order's rise. 

Unsurprisingly, that upset many fans, particularly as the Expanded Universe featured a post-Return of the Jedi Luke who never gave up fighting the good fight. 

John Boyega's Finn was also sorely underutilized in the movie with a bizarre side mission that largely saw him go through the same arc he did in the previous instalment. Now, the actor has ranked the Star Wars movies he appeared in, beginning by calling The Force Awakens "most definitely the best."

In second place is The Rise of Skywalker, and in third...well, it's obviously Episode VIII.

"And then the worst, in the most respectful sense, is Episode VIII," Boyega says, quickly adding with a smile: "But they're all lovely." With that, he shoots some serious side-eye for the benefit of the camera, suggesting he too wasn't overly enamoured with Finn's trip to Canto Bight. 

The actor has expressed an interest in returning to Star Wars after previously dismissing the notion and the expectation now is that we'll see him return as Finn in the Daisy Ridley-led "New Jedi Order" movie from filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.
