Last week, Boyega prompted a light-hearted debate on the internet by tweeting his belief that Anakin Skywalker is a better Jedi than the new trilogy’s heroine, Rey. According to NME.

“I’m sorry guys,” Boyega wrote on Twitter, “but Anakin slapping all of us in a pit of lava. Including Kylo.” It led fans to brand him a “Stanakin”.

It was revealed today (November 8) that Star Wars films are set to “go into hiatus” after The Rise Of Skywalker, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger.

Recent figures show that The Rise of Skywalker is on course to score the lowest opening weekend box office figures of the trilogy.
