Corporal Leonis is one of two main characters in the upcoming film Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. He will be played by John Boyega. Prior to the casting of Boyega in 2014, Leonis was portrayed as white in concept art.

Working as a Stormtrooper, Leonis' TIE fighter is shot down on Tatooine. Rescued by Kira, Leonis ends up abandoning the Empire.

Leonis is a descendent of Zare Leonis, from Star Wars Rebels. After the casting of John Boyega, the episode of Rebels, Breaking Ranks redid the character model of Zare to make him appear related to Leonis.
