@redditstorytime21: Daisy Ridley says the reaction to the Star Wars sequel films can still be upsetting, even years after she played Rey. In a resurfaced interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, host Josh Horowitz asked Ridley about the mixed response to The Rise of Skywalker. She said it was difficult to think that fans might feel the films had not delivered the story they loved. Ridley also described Rian Johnson’s 2017 film, The Last Jedi, as “so divisive.” She recalled that The Force Awakens had received a more united response, while the next two films brought strong and divided opinions. The actress said the criticism did not change how she felt about making the movies. Her comments began circulating again after Adam Driver said a planned film about his character, Ben Solo, had been dropped. Driver said he and the team had tried to make another Star Wars project, but it was not approved. Ridley had announced a separate New Jedi Order film in 2023, with Rey expected to help rebuild the Jedi. However, the project has faced several writing changes, and Lucasfilm has not confirmed its current status. Ridley is also attached to other projects, including a new horror film and a Paramount+ series. For now, her return as Rey remains uncertain, while the debate around the sequel trilogy continues. Did the sequel trilogy deserve the fan backlash? #DaisyRidley #StarWars #TheLastJedi #TheRiseOfSkywalker #movienews
