Daisy Ridley catapulted to international stardom thanks to her leading role as Rey in the most recent “Star Wars” trilogy. The three-film storyline ended in polarizing fashion last December with the release of J.J. Abrams’ “The Rise of Skywalker,” which earned some of the worst reviews ever for a “Star Wars” movie. Yet though critics were not kind to the movie, Ridley told IGN in a recent interview that “Rise of Skywalker” ended in such a perfect way that she can’t imagine herself returning as Rey in a future “Star Wars” project.
“I think for me the beauty of Episode IX is it ends with such hope and such potential,” Ridley said, referring to how her character adopts the Skywalker family name before heading off to parts unknown. “I just feel like that was Rey’s perfect ending. The big battle was in Episodes VII, VIII, and IX.

Daisy Ridley was no stranger to “Star Wars” controversy by the time Disney released “The Rise of Skywalker” in theaters nationwide last Christmas. After receiving unanimous acclaim from critics and fans alike in her debut tentpole “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” the follow-up film “The Last Jedi” severely divided the fandom.
