Daisy Ridley has spoken to Total Film about returning to play Rey in a film set 15 years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, “I’m in a very different place than I was. I’m probably going to be one of the adults, and initially, I was the youngest person on set.”
“I honestly have had moments where I’m like, ‘I don’t know if I remember what I did [as Rey],'” Ridley tells us. “It’s really strange. I think the whole thing will feel so different anyway with a totally different team. I’m in a very different place than I was. I’m probably going to be one of the adults, and initially, I was the youngest person on set, which is a weird feeling.”
The actor, who played Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, also opened up about her hopes for working with director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy on the project. “I would also hope that it’s a lot of the same crew. Obviously, many people shifted, but many people stayed the same through all three films, and there was something wonderful and comforting about that. But I don’t know. It all remains to be seen. I would hope it feels natural in some way, but also like – I don’t know – like it’s a new adventure. I’m hoping it’s sort of a bit of both.”
