It was recently when John Boyega voiced his opinion about the Star Wars franchise and called out the makers for lack of representation of black characters. Just around the same time, Lucas Films & Disney announced the release date of the much-awaited The Mandalorian Season 2.
While this might just be another coincidence, Twitterati feels they did it to cover up the backlash that Boyega’s confession brought. Below is all you need to know.
John Boyega famous for the sequel trilogy, in a rather explosive interview, called out various wrong aspects of the Star Wars universe. He said that Finn was sidelined in The Rise Of Skywalkers and The Last Jedi. Boyega even went on to slam the bosses for lack of diversity and representation.
While this was a raging topic of discussion, it was suddenly announced that The Mandalorian Season 2 would hit Disney Plus on October 31, 2020. This is for sure exciting news, but for the people backing Boyega this turned out to be a cover-up to erase his voice.

John Boyega appreciation because he is so loving and kind. Hey Disney, maybe you should address your racism instead of trying to cover it up with the mandalorian trailer 😊 pic.twitter.com/XCqPcNundi
