“I don’t know why. Maybe the royal family were like, ‘Nah, leave them out of the Star Wars universe,'” he continued, before joking, “There’s something about royalty. It just seeps through the suit. No, I’m sure that they had their reasons.”
The Golden Globe winner also discussed other high-profile stars who visited the Star Wars set. “[William and Harry] walked on with the big costumes on. They got in the elevator because it was a big elevator scene,” Boyega recalled. “Tom Hardy was on set that day, so it was kind of random. Star Wars is open for everybody. You want to do a cameo?

The visit came several years before William and Harry’s infamous rift. The Archewell cofounder’s relationship with his family took a turn in 2019 and got more strained in 2020
