We love John Boyega.
There’s so much about the Peckham-born actor to admire. Above all else, he’s a brilliantly talented young Brit and a fine leading man, but he also exudes such a genuine enthusiasm and easy charm that it makes you kind of wish he was your best mate.
With the DVD/Blu-Ray release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens just around the corner on April 18, we’ll see a steady trickle of exclusive extras coming out to entice us into buying the film to own (and trust us, we need no encouragement whatsoever).
Boyega is the star of this particular snippet, which shows him laying eyes on the actual Millennium Falcon for the first time. His fanboy reaction is priceless and it’s great to see the 24-year-old respond with the same awe and giddiness as any of us would.

We had the pleasure of chatting to John before he went stratospheric, and we can confirm that he’s every bit as funny, charismatic and down-to-earth as he seems here….
