As her latest film The Marsh King’s Daughter arrives on digital platforms, Daisy Ridley caught up with Collider, and speaking to them the conversation naturally turned to topics of a galaxy far, far away and Rey Skywalker. Obviously unable to give much away, Daisy certainly let it be known that not only was her return somewhat unexpected, but what she knows of the project (or projects) so far is exciting.
“I will tell you, Steve, when I saw you in Park City, I had not been approached. I was asked some, not by you, but I was asked something when I was there and strangely, people were asking me stuff and I was like, “No, I’m not doing another one.” Then it all happened after I came back. It was such a nice reception. I was s****ing myself before I went on stage, because no one knew I was going to that. No one knew I was going to Celebration, bar like Kathy [Kennedy] and there were a couple of people. I was so nervous. Oh my God. It was such a wonderful reception. I’m very excited. The story is really cool. I’m waiting to read a script because, obviously, I don’t have any other updates. It’s not what I expected, but I’m very excited.”
“I know the storyline for one film. 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.”
We’re excited too, so stay tuned as we start the long journey to what we’re going to call (until told otherwise) Episode 10.
