Daisy Ridley: “[Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is] definitely dark…There are bits that are genuinely scary. And sad. And joyful.” (November 14, 2019)

Daisy Ridley: "The connection that was made [between Rey and Kylo Ren], and the false connections, what is done cannot be undone. But story-wise, it's so major that it's very contentious, as you can see [due to the controversy surrounding the two characters]." (SciFiNow Magazine Issue 165)

Daisy Ridley: "[If I had to choose a line from a past Star Wars film that would be key to Rey's story going forward, it would be...] Do you know what's weird? I'm just getting that Maz line: 'The belonging you seek is not behind you...it is ahead.' That one came to my mind." "I feel amazingly spoiled that the first thing I did was such a great character. It's not that she's a 'strong female character'. But you can understand where she's coming from. You're going through the journey with her. It also feels right to end here, because there's no way you can carry on after this film. It's an epic ending to the saga." "This is the end of the Skywalker saga. So the film will come out, and we'll all go our separate ways. I mean, for now, it really is the end of the saga. But who knows? (smiles) Because nothing really ends." (Total Film magazine December 2019)

Entertainment Weekly - Inside Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: ‘The stakes are all or nothing’

“I think it really captures the spirit of the original trilogy,” Isaac adds. “On top of that there’s fact that Rey has…“

The actor stops, catching himself before revealing too much.

Rey has… what?

“Rey is driving her own thing,” Ridley says. “She’s not doing what other people are telling her to do.”

We last saw Rey mourning the death of her mentor Luke Skywalker (who returns in the film, presumably in Force ghost form, played once again by Mark Hamill) and shutting the door to Kylo’s power-mad seduction attempt. The heroine has since made progress in her Jedi training. “I have skills that have developed, but ‘confident’ isn’t a word I’d use to describe it,” Ridley says. “She’s definitely more in control of everything and can do new fun stuff, but she’s vulnerable and a little insecure about at all.”

Yet Rey will use more than her Force powers in the new film. As Abrams hints: “The scavenger who is desperate and haggling for portions and trying to survive [in Force Awakens] — those special skills and that special experience ends up being something that is essential to saving the galaxy.”

Ridley trained in kickboxing for the final chapter as well, but says the emotional toll of Rey’s journey was more difficult than any combat scenes. “It’s a heavy story for Rey,” Ridley says. “There were days where I was literally like, ‘I can’t do this, I’m so tired, I don’t know if I can like reach that emotion again.’”

Part of Rey’s journey involves solving the mystery of her identity. Well, again. Kylo revealed in The Last Jedi that Rey’s parents are deceased nobodies, “filthy junk traders [who] sold you off for drinking money.” The line embraced the idea that a hero doesn’t need to come from somebody special in order to be somebody special. Yet many fans called foul as the trilogy has teased Rey’s identity as being crucial information from the start (“Classified?” Rey echoed back to BB-8 during her debut sequence. “Me too. Big secret”).

“The parents thing is not satisfied — for her and for the audience,” Ridley says. “That’s something she’s still trying to figure out — where does she come from?”

It’s unclear if Abrams has made a course correction to Last Jedi writer-director Rian Johnson’s plan or there was always more to say about Rey’s parentage. Either way, wasn’t the Episode VIII scene supposed to be sincere?

“It’s not that she doesn’t believe it,” Ridley says carefully, “but she feels there’s more to the story. And she needs to figure out what’s come before so she can figure out what to do next…”

There’s also paranoid android C-3PO, who in the latest Skywalker trailer ominously says he’s taking a “last look” at his friends. Threepio is essential to a movie’s plot for the first time since A New Hope (Ridley points out Rey might spend more time with Threepio than any character in the film).

Daisy Ridley: "Everything is being questioned. Everything is being explored. So [Rey]'s still searching, but she's more at home than she was." "She is still figuring it out. I think as people do like you could be so settled, you could be married, and [have] kids, and [have] the house and everything and you're still like questioning your place in the world and I think her and all the other characters are still doing that." (October 17, 2019)

Daisy Ridley: "At the time I genuinely just thought this is an awesome costume in white. I'm sure the costume designer Michael [Kaplan] had some other thought. Maybe purity. Wholesomeness. Hope. Love." "Well J. J. [Abrams] did say that in the original [1977 Star Wars] - I think it's after the trash compactor [scene] - and Leia literally goes (gestures) and her costume is brilliantly clean that was like one of the things he wanted do." "Well we tried a couple of different ones and the white was just everyone just sort of [thought] it looked amazing." "My dresser was like, 'Oh my god, keeping this clean is gonna be a nightmare.' But it worked pretty well." (October 17, 2019)

Daisy Ridley: "It does not bother me - people writing theories. It's really fun hearing them. Plus because either - I know what's going on...or I knew what was sort of going to happen - because obviously there's this whole Reylo thing and some people are very passionate about it, some aren't - it's a very complex issue - like the whole Reylo thing people talk about toxic relationships and whatever it is - it's like (gestures) no joke and I think it's dealt with really well because it's not skimmed over like it's approached. It will be really interesting to see people's reaction to it." (October 17, 2019)

Daisy Ridley: "The Leia stuff is fantastic, like really fantastic, because she's also - the footage is brilliant. It's strange because all of the stuff that Carrie [Fisher] did fits eerily into the story of [Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker]. Honestly I think people watching it are gonna think that she was there and that we did it in situ[ation] for that particular...it's the strangest thing. It'll be a very emotional but also very sort of fulfilling ending for Leia." (October 17, 2019)
