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.

“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.
