Agreed. But will rey fight him alone? Or at all? Time will tell.

I'm glad she's like this...she seems the most open and excited about star wars of the new cast (maybe tied with Oscar Issac) .

I love it. Daisy has come a long way in her SW knowledge. She's gone from a very limited knowledge of SW to now mentioning what's in the Holiday special.

 

She deserves the time off.

Wow that would be a quite a introduction to Kylo's arrival.

 

LOVE this.

 

Careful with that one. Some people find hips offensive.

 

To me this looks more like Daisy's older sister than herself lol!

I dunno if this has been posted but I love this picture;

 

Not really about Star Wars but a nice little article here;


Lights, camera, time for action

Daisy Ridley: actor
Generation prophet

There has been a lot of discussion about women in film recently, and although it is glaringly obvious that the industry still has a problem with gender equality and diversity, I’ve been so fortunate that my experience has been very different.

What I have noticed is the lack of female talent in technical roles on set. Although film sets have a wonderful mix of brilliant men and women behind the camera—in costume, hair and make-up departments in particular—in areas like cinematography there are incredibly limited numbers of women. In fact, in 2015, only 3% of cinematographers on the top 100 films were women.

As a young woman starting my film career, I know I’m fortunate to be doing so now. I’m lucky to be surrounded by brilliant women, both personally and professionally, and to be part of a franchise that continues to break down barriers of gender and race in front of the camera. The fight for gender equality rages on but things are changing, little by little.


The Walt Disney Company has, for example, put some great incentives in place to bolster equality and diversity behind the camera. The British Film Institute is encouraging young, diverse talent with grants and training schemes, and independent production companies are setting up their own programmes to help create a more diverse industry. I hope that, in 2017, those young women who may once have been dissuaded from working in (up until this point) typically “male” positions are encouraged to train and take apprenticeships in these brilliant roles.

One interesting point is that the Force awakens in Ep VII, that could mean that Rey wasn't force sensitive before it.

Did the Force awakened in the Skywalker family or are they sensitive from their birth ?

 

Just a quick question, is Daisy filming at the moment? I know John is, I've seen the pics.

 

Daisy may be doing smaller projects currently after filming Episode VIII. Go check out her Wiki or IMDB page for more info on that. She just narrated a nature documentary about an eagle that looked intriguing. I know John is filming for the Pacific Rim sequel.
