Daisy Ridley maner til ro over den næste Star Wars-film

Der er en række Star Wars-film i støbeskeen, men den måske mest interessante kommer fra instruktør Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, og byder på et comeback for Daisey Ridley som karakteren Rey, og en reel fortsættelse af den kronologiske Star Wars-fortælling.

For nylig er en række rapporter cirkuleret (dog fra tvivlsomme kilder) der påstår at Disney er ved at miste troen på projektet, og at det er på vej på hylden. Desuden er fans, fortsat, kritiske overfor Rey som karakter. Ridley har nu adresseret disse rygter i et interview med Premiere, og slår fast at hun kun vender tilbage fordi hun føler at det er passende, og at historien er værd at fortælle:

It is already known that a new Star Wars film is on the way and that the movie, known as Star Wars: New Jedi Order, is hoping to release around 2026. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (Ms. Marvel) will direct and Daisy Ridley will return in her role as Rey Skywalker.

"My thoughts on the matter are quite simple: if I didn't think it was a story worth telling, I wouldn't have come back. I was simply asked if I wanted to do it, based on an idea, without the script being written yet. But if I hadn't been convinced by the concept, the film wouldn't have seen the light of day. I took the time to think about it for a day and I said to myself that I had a great time on these films. This new adventure seemed fun to me, why say no? Also, there was a strange coincidence: two people told me in the same week that they would love to know what Rey was doing now. I had no idea that there was interest! People really like Rey. I think this new film will be exciting and will advance the franchise in an interesting way."

Vi krydser fingre for at projektet ser dagens lys.
