Daisy Ridley Discusses Making the Sequel Trilogy and Emphasizes Her Willingness to Return

In a recent interview with Brian Davids from Variety, Daisy Ridley, who is currently promoting her film Sometimes I Think About Dying, continues to get asked Star Wars questions. Now that we are three years post The Rise of Skywalker and Lucasfilm appears to be finally honing in on a map for future films, many fans are wondering when we will see characters like Rey next. In this interview, she reflects on the chaos and joy that was making the sequel trilogy, and emphasizes her willingness to come back to the franchise.



Reflecting on the speed at which the sequel trilogy was developed, Davids asked:

Joonas Suotamo is Chewbacca, Oscar Isaac is Poe Dameron, Daisy Ridley is Rey and John Boyega is Finn in STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER



Daisy Ridley has recently been shedding light on the mental adjustments that starring as a central character in Star Wars required for her, whether that’s acknowledging her own doubts, stepping away from social media, or taking moments to soak up all the positive aspects of the unique experience. Moreover, she’s been carefully and diplomatically open in response to questions on how and when she would like to return to Star Wars. Regarding her potential return, Davids asked:

Ridley’s response feels both true to form for her character, Rey, as well as the words of a tried and true franchise professional – avoiding the question entirely while keeping all options open in a very positive way. The Disney PR team would be proud.



Jokes aside, it’s clear that many fans are both curious about her return and excited for the possibility. As Ridley continues to explore the world of indie filmmaking, I expect we’ll see more and more interviewers ask questions about her Star Wars experience.



Sometimes I Think About Dying recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Check out the full interview here.
