Carrie Fisher was the social conscience of the Original Trilogy, calling attention to women’s rights and feminist issues. John Boyega is the social conscience of the Sequel Trilogy, calling attention to racial justice. On today’s show, I’m featuring his speech yesterday at a London protest related to the killing of George Floyd. The audio (as recorded and published by the Evening Standard) appears in today’s show; but I highly encourage you to watch the video version, for reasons I explain in the podcast.
