The Force Awakens Daisy Ridley as Rey - Part 1

[NotSoLongAgo]

I think she only looks like keira, olivia or portman in a picture cuz in the movie she didn't remind me of anyone (which is great)

 

[Iceman]

but most importantly mark Hamill.

Correct!

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

I say...Daisy looks more like Keira than Natalie. While those two are still good actresses...I take Keira but moreover daisy 😃

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

I never really liked any of those actresses, but Daisy trumps em all by far

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Daisy owned this movie.

She out acted everyone by a wide margin and had most of the best scenes.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Oh yeah. I most definitely agree here. Daisy ...Welcome to the world of Star Wars!! I was literally on the edge of the seat! oh man! I cant wait to see it again with my parents who I love so much!

Loved this actress.

My issue with Rey is she's just too close to being perfect from the get go in this flick[BLACKOUT]. Personality wise, fighting wise, pilot wise, she's a good shot with a blaster, can speak every language, she knows the force without needing to be taught, she can use a lightsaber and seemed to just advance in techniques within a few moments etc. She's pretty much perfect in attitude and strength.

Luke and Anakin had attitude problems and quite a bit more room to grow. Besides just getting more powerful in the Force being trained by Luke, I'm curious as to what the character can learn or if something happens to give her more conflict in future films as a character. [/BLACKOUT]

Well I'd imagine [blackout]she'll learn to accept help from others. You say she doesn't have an attitude problem, but I think she does. She's a classic abandoned child who thinks she doesn't need anyone else in this world, and she's only just now starting to learn that she does, and that maybe that's ok. She's also about to learn that while she may THINK she knows everything she needs, there's A LOT she still has to learn, both in the ways of the Force and in the galaxy in general. Also, she could learn to be a bit more of a people person because her default mode seems to be hostile, lol. [/blackout]

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Flickchick, I totally agree with you there. On point!

[BLACKOUT]She got along with everyone pretty well imo. Letting go and moving from wanting her family back seemed to be her main issue. I can see her pov of say not wanting someone to be grabbing your hand every five seconds like Finn was trying to do. Or rejecting Maz after that intense moment. But she was extremely forgiving and trustworthy with him and Solo. She's a great character but overall I didn't see much turmoil there. All that heavy stuff came from Kylo imo. Which was a nice switch for the first of a trilogy.

But yeah, I'm curious to where she goes. She seems to be a patient person which Luke and Anakin were not. [/BLACKOUT]

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

^^ I agree too... but regardless, I still love Rey!

 

[def28]

I loved her too, she's a near impossible character to dislike imo and that's kind of my issue haha.

JJ did an amazing job giving her, Poe and Finn the personalities that the prequels were missing.

 

[mclay18]

I think she only looks like keira, olivia or portman in a picture cuz in the movie she didn't remind me of anyone (which is great)

Some photo shoots she looks similar to Keira. In others, she looks like Natalie.

I'd like to see these three actresses together in a movie. Playing sisters.

 

[CELTICPRED]

lolwut

Everyone's favorite new character turns out to be a grandchild or great grandchild of Palpatine. I think that would be an awesome curve ball. Maybe Ren discovered that after she force blocked him in the movie and that's why he was so afraid of her becoming more powerful by the minute.

Well in a way, she's the opposite of Luke and Anakin in that she had no desire to learn the ways of the Force, and she doesn't want to be a part of the fight. It's just being pushed on her, and she's going along with it [blackout](in part out of respect for Han, I think), so I think a lot of that "turmoil" you're looking for will come out of her accepting some responsibility for the lives of others whom she could help, which seems to be the primary thing she's afraid of at this point. As Maz pointed out, the family she was "waiting for" on Jakku weren't coming back, and Rey knew it. She's known it all along. She was just using them as an excuse not to move on to bigger things. She doesn't want to depend on anyone, and she doesn't want anyone depending on her. [/blackout] And that's what's changing throughout her journey, imo.

tl;dr - she's like Buffy.

 

[Tony Stark]

I'm still saying the fact it's spelled out so clearly makes me think she's not. The breads crumbs are far too easy to follow.

That's kind of what makes me skeptical too, [blackout]but the lightsaber connection, and above all the line "you're afraid you'll never be as powerful as Darth Vader."[/blackout]

 

[spiderman2]

She is going to be my wife Hey it could happen we are around the same age!

Gotcha, and good points.

 

[guy_in_us1]

The writing and her acting are a bit wooden, but the camera loves her. She is stunning. I can tell she is absolutely intent on not f-ing it up: she takes her role very seriously.

Spot on!

[DarknessOfDeath]

Very nice pic. I see a bit of Emma Watson in there too...but a lot more of Keira.

Well, my pet theory is that a Mad Scientist created her in a lab by combining the DNA of Hayley Atwell and Emma Watson.

Does this mean she will die fighting a war god and be resurrected using the Force and establish an unhealthy sexual relationship with Kylo Ren.

 

[Legendver2]

She's probably the best thing in this movie for me, after the let down that Kylo Ren was. I am curious to what are the others thoughts on [BLACKOUT]whether she is indeed Luke's daughter or not?[/BLACKOUT]
