Rebellions are built on hope! So do the Star Wars fans! Many Star Wars fans hoped to see Daisy Ridley again in the space-opera franchise despite the backlash received by The Rise of Skywalker (2019). And their wishes have come true. One of the protagonists of the sequel trilogy is returning to wield her lightsaber again in Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s upcoming Star Wars feature, set 15 years after the events of Episode IX.
Yes, we deserved a better ending to the Skywalker saga than The Rise of Skywalker. In addition to the film’s plot and over-bestowment of fan service, the cast members faced the wrath of the franchise’s fanbase. No one can love or hate Star Wars more than the franchise’s fans. And the film’s cast, including Daisy Ridley, received immense online hate after the release of Episode IX.
Daisy Ridley is one of the finest actors of this generation. And she deserves another shot at the galaxy far, far away!
A brilliant portrayal of Rey
Ridley’s performance as Rey was positively received by fans upon the release of Episode VII: The Force Awakens. She brought depth and complexity to Rey, transforming her into an intriguing and relatable character. Additionally, she is a talented performer well-known for handling complex and demanding roles.
Ridley loves Star Wars
Despite facing online hate, Ridley’s love and passion for the space-opera franchise have not yet vanished, making her an ideal candidate to return to the franchise in some capacity.
The Star Wars universe is vast
Yes! It is hard to keep track of the plotlines and characters in the Star Wars universe. But it is also the reason why fans love the franchise. Whenever the franchise starts to lose its grip, it hits us with another spectacular and mind-blowing entry. The Mandalorian is the epitome of this scenario. No one knew how the Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni series would perform, regarding viewership and critical reception, after the disappointing conclusion of the Skywalker saga with Episode IX. But the Pedro Pascal starrer blew our minds, emerging as one of the greatest Star Wars instalments ever.
The franchise is vast and expansive, and there are plenty of opportunities for introducing new stories, including Daisy Ridley’s Rey.
