Jackson; Finn played by John Boyega; Natalie Portman\u2019s Padm\u00e9 Amidala, Carrie Fisher\u2019s Princess Leia, and Felicity Jones\u2019 Jyn Erso in the very recent \u201cRogue One.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, the beatdown of Star Wars\u2019 own fans, under the leadership of Disney, is habitual.<\/p>\n<p>J.J.
