It seems like Daisy Ridley’s return as Rey was a surprise for the actor too. Her Star Wars moviewas announced at Star Wars Celebration earlier this yearwhenLucasfilmpresident Kathleen Kennedy brought Ridley on stage.
While Ridley has yet to read anything for the new movie, she gave a positive update on the film. “I know the storyline for one film,” Ridley added. “That’s not to say that that’s all it is, but that’s what I was told about. And I imagine it will be the next film, I think. I mean, again, I don’t know, post strikes and everything, how quickly everything will start up again. But yes, so far, I know the story of one film and I think people will be very excited.”
