John Boyega recently shocked the world with his impactful interview with GQ where he opened up about experiencing racial discrimination while shooting Star Wars. John also called ou the makers for lack of representation of black characters in their popular sci-fi movie franchise. He also wanted to tell Disney to 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. He ended the conversation by staying that it’s not good and he'll be open about it. He accused the top heads at Disney of racially discriminating against him on the sets of Star Wars franchise.
John’s words were being heard on social media until the Star Wars fans started spamming about The Mandalorian Season 2 release date. This made fans accuse the makers of using The Mandalorian Season 2 release date to divert attention from the allegations made by him. A fan commented, “And just like that, the John Boyega trending topic slips beneath “The Mandalorian” and googling Star Wars is a lot of Baby Yoda, Baby Yoda, Baby Yoda. Coincidence or not, they silenced him today”.
Similarly, a number of other fans of the Pacific Rim Uprising star have been backing the star and have noticed the makers’ trick to steer away from John Boyega’s accusations. The fans have been sharing a number of posts from their respective social media accounts regarding the same. Here are some popular fan reactions about John Boyega and The Mandalorian Season 2 release date.
baby yoda is an incredibly insidious gambit on disney's part to strengthen their monopoly over the entertainment industry and it's never been worse than today, when they're trying to silence legitimate criticism of the racism they perpetuate

Who John should be blaming is JJ Abrams, in addition to Disney. There's strong evidence that JJ made a lot of empty promises to not only John Boyega, but Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver as well.

John should hold JJ accountable on making false and empty promises to him as well.
And just like that, the John Boyega trending topic slips beneath “The Mandalorian” and googling Star Wars is a lot of Baby Yoda, Baby Yoda, Baby Yoda. Coincidence or not, they silenced him today.
