Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker‘s John Boyega has exhausted a new video addressing Reylo shippers and their tweets to him over the last few months. Almost no favourite dealership or piece of pop culture is free of shipping, and one of the most popular( and controversial) ones in recent Star Wars movies is that of central characters Kylo Ren and Rey, or Reylo. In fact, like most fan ships, Reylo drew in a fairly vocal part of the fanbase, one fitted with devotees who were not afraid to voice their opinions on social media.

Boyega, who portrays Finn in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and its two predecessors, has previously thrown shade at Reylo shippers on social media, especially in the last few weeks. This resulted in a lot of Reylo advocates answering negatively to the actor’s berths, wandering from alleging Boyega of motiving yet more division among Star Wars supporters to personal attacks. Boyega has never been afraid to defend himself( or defend other Star Wars performers) in the past, and a recently released video seems to indicate he won’t be stopping current trends anytime soon.

Boyega liberated a new video on his Instagram page featuring a montage of negative tweets he’d received in response to his recent Reylo announces. In the video, the actor kickings and reduces the negative tweets exerting footage from his past interviews and television images. Towards the end of the video, Boyega swears, “Glad I get that out of my system.” To receive the video in question, inspection below 😛 TAGEND

Not long after the video was affixed by Boyega, the actor started to trend on Twitter. Strangely fairly, a good component of the tweets were in support of Boyega, with more than a few of the top announces announcing out the most toxic tweets was indicated in the video. Still, this isn’t the first time that Boyega has been at the center of attention over his Star Wars antics, although not all of them have been so positively received. In December, Boyega made some seemingly negative commentaries about his co-star Kelly Marie Tran, but unlike his other polemics, Boyega offered an defense for how he worded his comments.

Either way, fans are obviously entitled, and more than likely encouraged, to ship who they want and defend that as fervently as there is a desire, but there’s a difference in being enthusiastic and being toxic, and Boyega’s video reply to the more toxic element of the Reylo fanbase actually foreground the gap between the two. Still, it’s probably just a matter of time before the next big controversy surrounding the divisive Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker backs its head.
