Actor John Boyega has subtly slammed those who did not like the inclusion of a black Stormtrooper in the newly launched trailer of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'.
The 22-year-old actor appears in the very beginning of the trailer but he faced some abusive comments online.
Boyega posted following message on a social networking website.
"Thank you for all the love and support! The fan mail and fan art has added to my joy! Isn't it crazy that Star Wars is actually happening? I'm in the movie but as a star wars fan I am very excited. A year is a long time but it will be worth the wait.
To whom it may concern: Get used to it," Boyega said.
The new film opens some 30-years after 'Return of the Jedi'. The film will release in the US on December 18, 2015.
