John Boyega Calls Star Wars Episode IX “The War To End All Wars”!

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi isn’t out yet, but John Boyega is already starting up the Star Wars Episode IX hype train by explaining that the final movie in the Sequel Trilogy is going to tell the story of an all-out war.

 

 

The information comes from the New York Comic Con, where Boyega was promoting Pacific Rim: UprisingComing Soon got to talk with the rising star recently, and when asked:

“I don’t know nothing about the script, the story. I don’t know where Finn’s going, I don’t know where Rey is going, but definitely I feel this is the war to end all wars in this movie. I’m interested to know how he will handle that. I’m asking so many questions and I haven’t had a chance to kinda sit down and write J.J. a message just to say congratulations and I’m stoked. My fixation now is that he needs to get some sleep and gear up because we’re doing another one of these movies, mate! But I think he’s gonna do a great job, as always. He’s J.J.! I think what’s fantastic is it feels like it’s coming back full circle.”

 

This is far from a confirmation about anything – such as whether or not Episode IX is comprised of one major war sequence after another – but Boyega is closer to the production of these movies than most, so it’s probably a good idea to trust his hunch. And if nothing else it’s a good sign that Finn will survive The Last Jedi.

    So I guess Finn lives through Ep.8.

    Sounds interesting, but then again, how else would Boyega describe it?

    Is this war going to take place in the stars, perhaps?

    I hope this isn’t true because I was sort of hoping they would follow this up with another trilogy, I don’t want the FO gone @ the end of 9

      “The war to end all wars.” Disney will not let that happen because they want to make $$$$. If you take the ‘wars’ out of Star Wars, then you’re left with ‘Star Peace’, which would be a horrible concept for a trilogy spanning episodes X through XII. Perhaps there will be a time of peace after IX, but it won’t last. Peace never lasts, unfortunately. Look at WWI, which was dubbed ‘the war to end all wars’…

    His opinion speaks as much about the trajectory of TLJ as it does about ep9. Can’t wait.

    The war to end all wars… between an Imperial Remnant and a small Resistance coming out of a shattered Republic?

    Not sure how big that can really be. Especially since they’ve already taken the big pieces off the board on both sides in the first episode…

    I nitpick!

      It’s funny you make that joke, because I was about to make the same one. 🙂 So thank you for making my day.

      Perhaps episode 8 will be all about military building. Or there comes an outside force of evil into the galaxy that the two sides must ally with each other to fight against or they will all be destroyed.

    Dostoievsky have already said: the only way of not having war is everybody being part o the same group, so: phase 1 – People are made free from tyrany, 2 – The first thing most of the people do imediately after being freed is choose who are they going to serve, cause freedom is a burden 3 – Sell their freedrom for bread. 4 – Finally, eveybody as one, but under a new dictartorship — usually religious – that has bought everybody’s freedom. (See Moroccos, North Coreia, Amish,.. )

    Ep8 really needs to pull it out of the bag after missing certain elements from 7 and now fisher gone. Let’s stick to what the script needs and not be all politically correct for the sake of it etc etc…. let’s not waste an opportunity especially after the prequels. Maybe that’s one of the reason there’s not many good films anymore. For example people getting on their high horse about having a woman director, well if there was one she could, you can’t force it, the result would be inevitable. Etc.. the state of things is due to due to a very small minority being pleased and bugga everyone else

      Agreed on TLJ, but I have faith LF will. There’s too many eyes on them now to pull a TFA and mystery box everything. As for the amount of virtue signaling in Hollywood, I won’t lie; it is really annoying. I am all for diversity, but really the idea is becoming a gimmick more so than something genuine in my view. Especially, the concept of the physically “strong” female character.

      I grow tired of that concept as it is as cliched as the damsel in distress. Hence, why I really didn’t gravitate towards Rey, personally. Ridley did a fine job, but in the movie I found her really boring. Though, Forces of Destiny actually makes the character better, I wonder why, cough Abrams, Kasdam.

      But in all seriousness, I trust Rian Johnson as a screenwriter. I imagine he is going to be doing some things that I expect a good chunk of the fandom may not agree. But I do not mind. Because, I am expecting a really cool unique experience with TLJ.
