Daisy Ridley Simply Needs You to Know the Rey Film Is Nice, We’re All Nice Right here Now, Thank You

Till Daisy Ridley picks up her yellow lightsaber as soon as once more, any time she releases a film, she’s going to be asked about Rey. She will play a swimmer, she will be able to play a window cleaner, it doesn’t matter. Individuals wish to know what’s going on with Star Wars.

Ridley is at the moment selling a film known as Cleaner (the place she actually performs a window cleaner who simply so occurs to be ex-military) and so she’s as soon as once more having to offer an replace on the Rey film. First announced back in 2023, the Lucasfilm venture is about after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and brings again Ridley as Rey, who’ll work to create a brand new Jedi order. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is directing and whereas a number of writers, and we do mean several, have tackled the venture, the latest one to come on board is George Nolfi (The Bourne Ultimatum, The Adjustment Bureau, Ocean’s 12, Elevation).

Talking to ComicBook, Ridley had nothing however reward for Nofli, although she hasn’t learn his work but. “I’ve not learn the newest script, however I do know what’s occurring, and I do know the story, and I feel what feels actually good is that George is an outstanding author,” she stated. “I feel we’re ensuring that this story is one of the best ways, this script is one of the best ways to inform the story, and I feel will probably be worthwhile for everybody watching it, and I’m very excited, yeah.”

That sounds good! The story is sweet, the author is sweet, they’re taking their time, and that’s the deal. She added one other wrinkle speaking to Screenrant, revealing she’s received one other film arising so the Rey film isn’t the following factor she’s engaged on. “I don’t suppose it’ll be the following factor I am going to manufacturing on as a result of I’m purported to be doing—oh no, it’s not, as a result of I’m doing one thing subsequent month, very excitingly,” Ridley stated. “So it’s not the following factor production-wise, however the script is being written and I’m very excited.”

Did you hear she’s excited? We’re excited too! Collider took a barely totally different spin with the star, asking about how concerned she is behind the scenes with the movie. This can be a little much less on message however, are you able to blame her? She’s doing a improbable job speaking about one thing she contractually shouldn’t be speaking about.

“I don’t know that I’d be a producer on it, however I definitely have been very concerned,” Ridley stated. “I’m concerned in, properly, not very concerned, however I’m concerned in as a lot as I do know what’s happening, I do know the story, I do know what’s happening with the script, so I’m conscious of all that. And I feel what’s been actually great over the previous few years is being extra concerned from the begin to end, actually coming to set figuring out that is the best possible method we will inform this story. These are the perfect actors for the job. That is the perfect crew for the job. Having that confidence is so beautiful. And it’s not that I didn’t have that earlier than, however I’m way more cognizant of it now. So in that method, I’m wanting ahead to turning up, actually figuring out the ins and outs of what the journey has been, and we’re arriving at the best possible place to inform this explicit story.”

And, actually, all jokes apart, that’s all we would like. The absolute best film. And if the film isn’t going to be nice, then don’t make it. Don’t additional tarnish any Star Wars legacies. It definitely seems like Ridley is conscious of all that and making an attempt her hardest to be— sure—excited concerning the prospects.

The following Star Wars film to hit theaters will likely be The Mandalorian and Grogu in summer season 2026. We don’t know what’s subsequent after that, although it may very well be this film, it may very well be Shawn Levy’s film, or one thing else. Unclear, the longer term is.
