Daisy Ridley, who played Rey in the latest Star Wars movie trilogy, is coming back to play that role again in a future Star Wars film. Speaking about this movie, Ridley told Collider, “It’s not what I expected, but I’m very excited.”
She said she originally had no interest in coming back for another Star Wars movie movie, but she ultimately agreed to, and said it was “such a nice reception” to appear at Star Wars Celebration for the unveiling.
“I was sh*tting 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,” she said.
