Main Rey/Daisy Ridley Episode IX thread

Rey is actually a clone of Ben Solo. You heard it here first folks.

 

That is one theory that just won’t go away. I would like to see her reaction to to it though

 

"ultimately, Rian’s a filmmaker and one person can’t dictate how a film is supposed to be – but freedom of expression, sure"
So is she actually confirming here that Rian didn't have all the freedom to do what he wanted.

 

Daisy Ridley: “I was…I remember…I do believe in the universe and that it has its way…I was walking down the street [with people] who are now my friends who I had met on a shoot, and one of them went, ‘Oh apparently they’re doing a new Star Wars film,’ and literally my whole body went tingly, and I was like, ‘I think I’m gonna get a part in this film’. I’m not even kidding. This was in…early in the year [2013]. My audition was in August. I called my agent. And also I wasn’t of the ilk to be like, ‘Hey, get me an audition would ya? With J. J. Abrams.’ But I literally – that day I was like (clicks tongue) ‘I just feel I’m gonna get a part in this film.’ It was so strange so even though I was doubting myself the whole way through I just felt that there was like a universal thing pushing me forward. It was the strangest thing. And then it was a lot longer before I got the actual part.” (July 1, 2019) (archive)

Daisy Ridley: “[Speculation is the title ‘The Rise of Skywalker‘ is about the evolution of the Jedi Order not a particular person?] Okay. I mean yeah that sounds like a great thing. What do you think?” “I mean J. J. [Abrams] I think did sort of say as much he said it represents a lot of different things.” “It’s interesting because he told me the title and I was like, ‘Oh!’ because he’d sort of been throwing around things when we were filming and then he told me when I went to LA [Los Angeles] – just before Chicago [for Celebration 2019] – and saw the trailer. And I was like, ‘Oh! Okay.'” “Yeah [it kind of made sense the more I thought about it], but even John [Boyega] and people were like, ‘Oh!’ I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t what I was expecting and I would agree that it represents a lot of things. Yeah, I don’t know. I think it will be one of those things that…it’s sort of the last few lines of the film when people are like, ‘Ah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.'” (July 1, 2019)

Daisy Ridley: “(sing-song voice) [Adam Driver and I] actually joke the whole time! We just walk around swinging our sabers! Yeah, no it’s not a laugh riot.” “Yeah [there’s unique material I get to do with Adam in the new movie]. It was umm…yeah. I think it, I think it…I just think they’ve just done a great job with all the relationships like with the fun friendships and with the sort of strange thing with Rey and Kylo [Ren]. And the thing is too, it’s…we finished Episode VIII and you know where Rey is entirely so it’s…yeah it was interesting going into that and sort of figuring out where that was going and there was a way that J. J. [Abrams] was describing it as we were doing it, and I was like, ‘god that’s so true that really is like what this film is for Rey,’ (smacks lips) I think people are going to like it! I really do. Also we have a great fight…a great fight. And I was really happy that the Vanity Fair pictures did show a bit of it. It’s a great fight. Like I’ve become such a better fighter and they’ve made the Lightsabers lighter so it actually looks like we’re swinging light and not like heavy, heavy.” “I have seen [a bit of what the fight looks like on video]. I have.” “This fight we did, it was [in] November [2018], we had water being thrown at us and I got a great deal of respect because I did not…I was ‘I was not gonna complain about the cold, I’m just not gonna do it,’ so it was like a real thing of stamina and it just felt…it feels really epic and it felt epic even at the times where I thought we’ll imagine we had the waves like this and then they get up and make the waves I’m sure bigger. So one can only imagine what it’s gonna look like.” (July 1, 2019)

Daisy Ridley: “Colin [Trevorrow] sat next to me [at dinner after the premiere or something for Murder on the Orient Express]. I was like, ‘What’s [Episode IX] gonna be like?’ It was…all I had heard – I didn’t know what had happened, I just knew that he wasn’t doing it anymore – and he did sort of tell me…and sort of not. And it was fine and…” “Yeah [an awkward situation]. He sort of told me but…” “Yeah [a much different kind of a tale], yeah, yeah…and actually no, we’d gone for dinner and stuff. We went to dinner with Michelle [Rejwan] who’s a producer [on Episode IX], so I sort of knew. I think everything happens for a reason I guess.” (July 1, 2019)

The Sun - Daisy Ridley talks ‘Ophelia,’ and saying goodbye to the ‘Star Wars’ universe

 

I've seen TLJ at least 10 times and my last time was today. Here is something I have never caught on to until this last time I watched it. When Rey goes into the darkside cave and touches the mirror she is shown from the otherside. Not the side she touches.

Maybe this isn't new to anyone but it is to me. I had never noticed we are actually on the otherside.

I wonder who the 'narcissist' is?

 

What?????? *mind blown*

 

FWIW (for whatever it's worth...)

Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: Ultimate Star Wars New Edition: The Definitive Guide to the Star Wars Universe (release date: October 4, 2019)

"Awakened hero: Talented Rey possesses an unusually strong connection to the Force. Much like the legendary Anakin Skywalker, she is also an expert mechanic and pilot."

"Abandoned: A tiny Rey watches helplessly as a starship pulls away, marooning her on the unfamiliar world of Jakku."

"Rey asks Kylo to help her save the Resistance, but he refuses to be redeemed."

"It is soon revealed that Kylo is only motivated by his own ruthless ambition."

"[Luke] Skywalker senses a raw power that he has not felt since training Ben Solo."

"Searching for truth: Entering a mysterious cavern on Ahch-To, Rey believes she can finally learn who her parents are, but finds only an illusion of the Force."

 

Doesn't sound like she's from Jakku

 

So she's not Rey from Jakku, I like that : D

 

She's now kown as Rey, Descendent of Light:


And Kylo is called, Cloaked in Shadows:

 

New T-shirt for RoS

 

Looks kind of weird that they only colored her face... Like she's wrapped up like a mummy. I'm not going to comment on the text.

 

I can hear the dudebros crying from here.

 

She's the Galaxy's only hope. That's just the way it is

Edit. Oh shoot, I didn't want to comment on the text. Ah, screw it!
