Daisy Ridley has a new tease about her return as Rey in an upcoming Star Wars movie, and it sounds like something new and exciting for the galaxy far, far away.

“I thought about it for a little bit, and once I knew what the story was and everything, I knew it was something I really wanted to do,” Ridley told French publicationAlloCiné. “I think it’s a really fantastic exploration of the Star Wars world. It’s a really cool way of taking the story on in a bit of a different direction.”

“We’re post-war, post-First Order, and the Jedi are in disarray,“LucasfilmbossKathleen Kennedy previously said of the film. “There’s a lot of discussion around, ‘Who are the Jedi? What are they doing? What’s the state of the galaxy?’ She’s attempting to rebuild the Jedi Order, based on the books, based on what she promised Luke, so that’s where we’re going.”
