Up-and-comer John Boyega is reprising his role as Finn in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the upcoming sequel to 2015’s hit Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He’ll also be playing Jake Pentecost in the 2018 sequel film Pacific Rim: Uprising.Boyega was one of the two leads in The Force Awakens. He doesn’t appear much in the Last Jedi trailer we currently have, though. So it’s possible he may not have as big a role in this sequel. There’s only one brief shot of him in the trailer. And he’s not even awake during it. He’ll likely appear more in the final film of the trilogy. Although, he definitely may have a reduced role in the one coming out this December. We do see some more of him in some behind-the-scenes footage, though. So there’s that. As for Pacific Rim: Uprising, well, Boyega wasn’t even in the first film. So you might assume he does not have a huge role in this one. Having said that, he’s actually the only character to appear in this first trailer, released by Legendary Pictures. He only appears briefly at the end. But hey, it’s just a teaser. There’s not too much else in the video. It’s only a little over a minute long. The rest of the teaser features a giant robot that resembles a Transformer robot and makes reference to something called the "Jaeger Uprising."The original Pacific Rim starred Emmy-nominee Idris Elba as Stacker Pentecost. Boyega is portraying the son of Elba's character in this sequel.Boyega is a British actor, who has had a good bit a success at the young age of 25. He had his first major role back in 2011 with the indie cult classic Attack the Block. He also had some recent success for his lead role in the critically acclaimed crime drama Detroit from Kathryn Bigelow, Oscar-winning director of The Hurt Locker.

Monolith Soft employs the talent behind the Xeno series of gamesThe sword of the Bionis blazes blue with powerThe monolith in the name Monolith Soft may have one envisioning a game studio with only a single hit or idea, but Monolith Soft has developed a number of games since it was founded in 2000. They developed the Xeno series of games from Xenosaga to the most recent Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. They have also worked on several collaborative projects with Nintendo including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Splatoon. The company has enjoyed success since splitting away from Square-Enix (then known as Squaresoft).The talent behind Xenogears believed that Square was not giving him enough creative freedomThe agile and powerful gear of Xenogears protagonist FeiTetsuya Takahashi worked for Squaresoft on Final Fantasy 6 and later earned the chance to lead development on his passion project, the PS1 era game, Xenogears. The world and story of Xenogears involved not only giant fighting robots, called gears, but also quasi-religious, philosophical, and psychological themes which, according to Takahashi, Square deemed too dark or complicated to exist alongside their other properties. It was Takahashi who later convinced Hirohide Sugiura to branch off into their own studio.During Japanese magazine Famitsu's interview with Sugiura he mentions one reason for the split was disagreement on fundingSpirits Within was a graphical triumph but didn't do well as a movieAt the time, Square was pouring money into its ill-fated movie studio Square Pictures. Final Fantasy: Spirits Within was the result of that investment and unfortunately ended up being a significant boondoggle for the company grossing only $85 million of its $137 million dollar cost. Though this funding spat was a part of his decision, Sugiura mentions that his main impetus for forming Monolith Soft was to one day create Xenogears 2. That hope is not yet fulfilled but did result in Monolith's first game Xenosaga: Episode 1 in 2002 as well as the Xeno series as a whole till today.Sugiura also talks about what he wants for the future of Monolith SoftThe Mechonis of Xenoblade stares ominously at lifeforms on the BionisMonolith Soft's first game series Xenosaga was a commercial success and managed to capture a devoted audience. The second game in the series was not received as well but, with the third, the series managed to end on a high note. As a whole Takahashi has stated that the series underperformed expectations.Xenoblade Chronicles for the Nintendo Wii and, most recently, the definitive edition for the Switch has brought even more success to the company. So much success that the game's main protagonist, Shulk, is even a character in the venerable Smash Bros series. Sugiura continues with the interview by stating that he sees Xenoblade as almost a “prototype” for the true sequel to Xenogears, but whether that future ever comes to pass truly cannot be foretold.
