Daisy Ridley Promises Rey’s Return Is Still On Track
Daisy Ridley reassures Star Wars fans that the much-anticipated Rey film is still in the works, despite delays and changes behind the scenes.
More than six years have passed since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hit cinemas, closing out what was meant to be the last chapter in the Skywalker saga. Yet, Daisy Ridley is set to step back into the galaxy far, far away, reprising her role as Rey in a fresh instalment. The project was first revealed to punters at the 2023 Star Wars Celebration, sparking plenty of chatter and speculation among fans.
Since that initial announcement, the film has seen a fair bit of shuffling behind the scenes. The script has changed hands a few times, with several writers having a crack at it. As it stands, there’s still no official release date, leaving many wondering when—or if—they’ll see Rey wield a lightsaber again. Despite the uncertainty, Ridley remains firmly attached to the project and hasn’t wavered in her commitment.
While details about the plot are being kept under wraps, Ridley has offered some reassurance to those feeling a bit impatient.
I think the wait will be worthwhile,
she said, making it clear she’s just as keen as the fans to see the story unfold. Her comments have given a bit of hope to those who might have started to doubt whether the film would ever get off the ground.
