In an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub for The Marsh King’s Daughter, out now on digital, Daisy Ridley talked about her surprise appearance at Star Wars Celebration and how the plot of her new Star Wars film was not what she expected.
As she told Weintraub, the announcement of a new film was news even prior to her appearance at Star Wars Celebration. Ridley recalls that when she spoke to Collider at Sundance Film Festival for her film Sometimes I Think About Dying, she still hadn’t been approached to reprise her role as the scavenger-turned-Jedi:
“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 shitting 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.”
