Daisy Ridley provided a promising update about reprising her role as Rey Skywalker in a new Star Wars movie.

What did Daisy Ridley say about her upcoming Star Wars movie?

It’s been nearly three years since 2023’s Star Wars Celebration, when Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced that Ridley would return as Rey in a new movie directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. The Rey movie is no closer to being made since Kennedy’s announcement, with numerous writers being brought in to work on the script.

While speaking with IGN, Ridley expressed her trust in the creatives behind the Rey movie and teased that patience will pay off.

“Honestly, there are scripts that I read five years ago, and now I’ve gone, ‘Oh, maybe they will actually happen,’” Ridley explained. “I think over the years, I’ve learned how the reality of getting any film made is so massive. The hurdles are vast . . . But with this [Rey movie], particularly, I know that incredible voices and creatives are part of it, and I know the wait will be worth it.”

Ridley’s Rey was first introduced to audiences as a Force-sensitive scavenger in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Over the course of the sequel trilogy, Rey trained to become a Jedi, culminating with her victory over her grandfather, Emperor Palpatine. At the end of The Rise of Skywalker, Rey adopted the last name Skywalker.

Ridley’s solo movie dates back to 2022, with Obaid-Chinoy directing from a screenplay by Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson. Steven Knight replaced Lindelof and Britt-Gibson in March 2023, with production set to begin in February 2024. Knight departed the project in October 2024, with filming pushed back to 2025. As of Janaury 2025, George Nolfi is the new screenwriter.

The untitled Rey movie is expected to take place 15 years after the events in Rise of Skywalker, with Rey forming a new Jedi Order.
