Letitia Wright and John Boyega attend the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 7, 2018 in New York City.
The London-born star, who plays Finn in Star Wars, said: “I can’t wait to start shooting the next and final leg of the franchise.
“The first step is growing out my hair, so you can wait for the trailer to see why.”

Interesting.
For one thing it confirms that there’ll a time skip of some magnitude between TLJ and Episode IX. Unless they’re intent on breaking normal biological rules along with everything else.
But apart from a time skip – which nearly everyone is expecting – what could Finn having longer hair mean? Any takers on theories?
For one thing it may mean that we won’t be seeing a Stormtrooper infiltration, at least not at first, since Stormtroopers all have short hair. I mean I can imagine an Important Haircut sequence, but would the haircut have to be real? Is it practical when it means you can’t do retakes of prior scenes without a wig? I have a feeling if there was going to be a haircut scene John wouldn’t grow out his hair in the first place.
If there is a Stormtrooper uprising plot, as I dearly hope, maybe it’ll be achieved without the need for him to go undercover because let’s face it, that’s been done before and Supreme Buttface is going to sense him anyway because he’s obsessed.
