The actor, best known for portraying fan-favorite Finn in _Star Wars: The Force Awakens_ and _Star Wars: The Last Jedi_, posted multiple videos on his Instagram account of being taken into custody by the Empire’s henchmen. In the films, Boyega’s Finn decides to leave his life as a stormtrooper behind and join the rebellion to battle the First Order. The clips, posted to his 1.6 million followers, shows Boyega laughing as he is playfully jostled by the costumed employees. > [](https://twitter.com/luminousfinn/status/1076509319649210368) “They’re arresting me right now at Disney,” he jokes. “I get arrested? Damn!” “The fugitive is in custody,” one of the trooper says as Boyega laughs. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5487574/star-wars-john-boyega-stormtroopers-disneyland-paris/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5487574/star-wars-john-boyega-stormtroopers-disneyland-paris/"},"headline":"'Star Wars' Actor John Boyega 'Arrested' by Stormtroopers at Disneyland Paris","datePublished":"2018-12-22T21:54:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:56:37.085Z","description":"“They’re arresting me right now at Disney,” he joked","url":"https://time.com/5487574/star-wars-john-boyega-stormtroopers-disneyland-paris/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Star Wars topic","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09e52e81cf2d08af/698890fa2dce01492b9e8d93/boyega-watership-down-bbc-netflix.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Gina Martinez","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/gina-martinez/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09e52e81cf2d08af/698890fa2dce01492b9e8d93/boyega-watership-down-bbc-netflix.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"boyega watership down bbc netflix","caption":"boyega watership down bbc netflix","creditText":"Eamonn McCormack—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5487574/star-wars-john-boyega-stormtroopers-disneyland-paris/","name":"'Star Wars' Actor John Boyega 'Arrested' by Stormtroopers at Disneyland Paris"}}]}] ```
