John Boyega Responds To ‘Alt-Right’ Group That Allegedly Attacked ‘Last Jedi’

Not only does John Boyega play Finn in “Star Wars,” but he’s also pulling double duty producing and starring in the upcoming “Pacific Rim Uprising.” So he doesn’t have time for nonsense — in fact, he doesn’t know how anybody does.

While talking with HuffPost about his new film, the actor also gave us his take on the so-called “alt-right” Facebook group, Down With Disney’s Treatment of Franchises and Its Fanboys, which claimed credit for tanking the Rotten Tomatoes audience score for “The Last Jedi” in December. The same group was reportedly organizing to attack the “Black Panther” audience score before Facebook shut down the page.

The actor has some advice for them.

“I would say that they need to definitely get job applications to utilize their time for a much more suitable thing. I think they’re too bored. We need to get more people working for their jobs, man. I think like, don’t you have a family? And time? I don’t understand it.”

He continued, “I don’t really think it’s that deep. I think ‘Black Panther’ has done what it’s done because of the creativity and great work. And I think a few people saying they’re going to [mess] with Rotten Tomatoes marks ain’t gonna do nothing, man. We give too much attention to those who don’t deserve it.”
