Daisy Ridley says “It’s not what I expected, but I’m very excited” when speaking about Rey Skywalker’s next appearance in the galaxy far, far away…
Rey Skywalker’s next STAR WARS adventure may be some way off, but Daisy Ridley is eager to get underway. Although the film is still in the earliest stages of development, the actor is looking forward to receiving her script for the project. However, after speaking with Collider, the project may be undergoing a slight transformation.
We already knew that Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s film will be set after the events of Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker and the fall of the First Order. The story was confirmed to follow Rey Skywalker as she builds a new Jedi Order and defends it from a new rising threat. But after speaking to the outlet, the course of the movie is no longer what she expected!
“I will tell you, Steve, when I saw you in Park City, I had not been approached. I was asked some, not by you, but I was asked something when I was there and strangely, people were asking me stuff and I was like, “No, I’m not doing another one.” Then it all happened after I came back. It was such a nice reception. I was s****ing myself before I went on stage, because no one knew I was going to that. No one knew I was going to Celebration, bar like Kathy [Kennedy] and there were a couple of people. I was so nervous. Oh my God. It was such a wonderful reception. I’m very excited. The story is really cool. I’m waiting to read a script because, obviously, I don’t have any other updates. It’s not what I expected, but I’m very excited.”
“I know the storyline for one film. That’s not to say that that’s all it is, but that’s what I was told about. And I imagine it will be the next film, I think. I mean, again, I don’t know, post strikes and everything, how quickly everything will start up again. But yes, so far, I know the story of one film and I think people will be very excited.”
RELEASE
Those fortunate enough to be seated in any of the three stages at STAR WARS CELEBRATION earlier this year were rewarded with an appearance from Daisy Ridley. And the actor was more than happy to share her excitement about the project. Sadly, the new movie hasn’t yet received an official release date. Although it has been suggested that Daisy Ridley’s “New Jedi Order” movie is all but ready to commence filming. So fans can look forward to reuniting with Rey sooner rather than later. And that alone is enough to have us reaching for our lightsabers. But how has the screenplay changed since its first draft? Will the Sith return to threaten the security of the new Jedi Order? All will be revealed in the coming months.
