British actor John Boyega posted on his Instagram account quite a meaningful message addressed to both supporters and non-supporters of the upcoming film "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" where he plays as the very first black storm trooper.

"Thank you for all the love and support. The fan mail and fan art has added to my joy!" Boyega said and further adding, "Isn't it crazy that Star Wars is actually happening? I'm in the movie but as 'Star Wars' fan I am very excited."
He ends his message with a meaningful hint, "To whom it may concern... Get used to it. :)"
The last part of the message seems to address people who have shown dislike and resentments toward having a black storm trooper for the very first time in this installment directed by J.J. Abrams.
The detractors' predicaments come from the 88-second trailer the film has released which mainly featured Boyega and co-stars Oscar Isaac and Daisy Ridley. This has raised eyebrows and questions of why Disney chose to focus on the mentioned actors instead of the big shots Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher.
This has been taken by some as an insult to the Star Wars kingdom, although there were some who also understood it was probably Disney's approach to enticement.
Boyega rose to fame when he played the role of Moses in the science-fiction movie "Attack the Block" in 2011. He starred in several movies afterward including "Junkhearts," "Half of a Yellow Sun," and "Imperial Dreams," and graced the television with his appearances in "Da Brick," "Becoming Human," "Law & Order: UK," and "24: Live Another Day."
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is set to hit the big screen on Dec. 18, 2015. It is highly being anticipated how Boyega's critics will react when the film is actually shown.
