“Star Wars” actor John Boyega seems to be pushing all the wrong buttons this week, from Reylo fans to feminists. Before his throwing caution to the wind on New Year’s Eve by openly mocking the Disney trilogy, the actor stepped into heavy social media fire when he made a rather raunchy joke regarding the character Rey (played by actress Daisy Ridley).

According to Insider, Boyega posted a video of himself dancing on Instagram to celebrate New Year’s Eve, which prompted one fan to make a joke about how Boyega’s character, Finn, can now date the character Rey due to Kylo Ren being out of the picture. SPOILER: Rey and Kylo share a kiss “The Rise of Skywalker” just before the latter dies.
