Daisy Ridley is offering some advice to future female StarWars actors as the franchise continues to grow. 'Everyone knows how things are and how they can be. We’re all living in that, with people saying more than they need to...'
A few years after seemingly bringing her time in the franchise to a close, Daisy Ridley is offering some advice to future female Star Wars actors. Ridley rose to international stardom with her work in the Lucasfilm franchise as Rey, the main protagonist of the sequel trilogy who tries to restore peace to the galaxy by putting a stop to Kylo Ren and the First Order while also learn of her mysterious family origins, of which she learns she was the descendant of Emperor Palpatine.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While speaking with Variety to discuss the Sundance premiere of her new film Sometimes I Think About Dying, Ridley reflected on her time working in a galaxy far, far away. Asked whether she has any advice for future female Star Wars actors, the former Rey performer expressed the need to "tune out" fan backlash and her confidence in the franchise's future.
The world is a crazy place. It’s important to tune out the stuff. Not just with ‘Star Wars,’ but with everything, you try and be in the moment and enjoy what it is because life moves quickly. Amandla Stenberg can handle herself. She’s been working for a long time. I sat next to someone at the ‘Wakanda Forever’ premiere, an executive, and they said [‘The Acolyte’] is amazing. Everyone knows how things are and how they can be.
Interestingly, Ridley sparked major Star Wars return speculation this past December when she revealed she had enjoyed a lunch at Lucasfilm HQ, though she did note in her social media posts that there was "nothing saucy happening.
Everything We Know About Star Wars' Future Even if Daisy Ridley were never to return to the fold, the future is looking bright for the Star Wars franchise, especially in regard to its female stars and characters.
