Well hey there, FN-2187.

Finn may have been mostly covered up by a Stormtrooper outfit and Poe Dameron's jacket in Star Wars: The Force Awakens -- but John Boyega is still diligent about his fitness training. The actor tweeted a picture on Thursday with the simple caption "VIII" to show that he's already gearing up for the next Star Wars film.

Stars Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill both had to lose weight for The Force Awakens, and it appears Boyega and his fellow cast mates must also follow a strict regimen to stay in optimal space shape.

Filming for Star Wars Episode VIII is scheduled to begin this month.
