John Boyega photobombing Star Wars fans will fill you with the Force
Star Wars Celebration may be in the past, but what went down at the global gathering of fans still has the capacity to surprise us.
Case in point: This video of John Boyega photobombing fans at a photoshoot on the convention floor. They have no idea the Force Awakens and Last Jedi star is standing right there -- and their reactions when they find out are priceless.
The photoshoot, and the video, were in the service of Force For Change, Lucasfilm's charity effort for children. Fans were told they'd simply be taking a picture with a couple of First Order troopers and a movie original BB-8.
Come for the heartwarming moments of revelation and the feelings of representation; stay for the dabbing with BB-8.
Force For Change is currently running a contest that will let fans appear in the Han Solo movie or party on the red carpet for the Last Jedi premiere this December.
