Daisy Ridley expresses her excitement to reprise Rey on the heels of the unexpected announcement that she will spearhead Star Wars: New Jedi Order.
In light of the announcement that she will reprise her role as Rey in a new Star Wars film, Daisy Ridley comments for the first time on what it feels like to rejoin the famed franchise. Playing the protagonist of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, the character's final Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker fate was divisive as not many liked how Disney and Lucasfilm finished off her narrative given the events of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The news of Ridley's Star Wars comeback as Rey was announced at Star Wars Celebration 2023 which is currently happening in London. Thanks to videos from THR and Total Film, the actress revealed how thankful she is for the opportunity saying: "Thank you, Kathleen and Sharmeen, for having me back. I'm very thrilled to be continuing this journey.
Will Other Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Actors Return In New Jedi Order? So far, only Ridley is confirmed for Star Wars: New Jedi Order. This makes sense considering that the film is said to still be in its early development as the narrative tackles her adventures leading a generation of Jedi — something that Luke Skywalker failed spectacularly to do in-between the original and sequel trilogy.
For context, all three primary characters in the Star Wars threequel survived the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Both Finn and Poe Dameron were instrumental in the defeat of Emperor Palpatine and the First Order. Given this, it makes sense that fans are also clamoring for their return. For what it's worth, the trio had great chemistry which wasn't really focused on in the said films. Lucasfilm has a way to rectify that by reuniting Finn and Poe back.
With three new films announced, including a The Mandalorian movie helmed by Dave Filoni, Lucasfilm and Disney are clearly revitalizing Star Wars' big screen presence following the underwhelming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It's safe to expect that as filming for Star Wars: New Jedi Order nears, more details about it will come, including whether Finn and Poe will be in it.
