And I absolutely agree with him. He was the most interesting character in the first sequel. Rey, Kylo, and Poe were all just palette swaps for the Luke, Vader, Han. A rogue Stormtrooper? That's got incredible potential.
Finn and Phasma were two characters that I thought were absolutely mistreated by the franchise.
Boyega's character Finn was set up to be something amazing, especially with the pre-release coverage that ended up being mostly plot misdirection, and his entire character was essentially dismissed in the next two movies.

“You get yourself involved in projects and you’re not necessarily going to like everything. [But] what I would say to Disney is do not bring out a black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are and then have them pushed to the side. It’s not good. I’ll say it straight up.”
