Star Wars star Daisy Ridley gives a small update on her Rey Sequel movie in a recent interview promoting her new movie Cleaner. Speaking with Collider, Ridley does not give us anything we didn’t already know. Namely, the movie is still in development and is now in the hands of a new writer, George Nolfi. Therefore, there is no finished script and we do not know of any planned date for filming without one.
“I don’t know that I’d be a producer on it, but I certainly have been very involved. I’m involved in, well, not very involved, but I’m involved in as much as I know what’s going on, I know the story, I know what’s going on with the script, so I’m aware of all that. And I think what’s been really wonderful over the last few years is being more involved from the start to finish, really coming to set knowing this is the absolute best way we can tell this story. These are the best actors for the job. This is the best crew for the job. Having that confidence is so lovely.”
“And it’s not that I didn’t have that before, but I’m much more cognizant of it now. So in that way, I’m looking forward to turning up, really knowing the ins and outs of what the journey has been, and we’re arriving at the absolute best place to tell this particular story.”

It’s simple really, Lucasfilm liked the direction of the general pitch from Damon Lindelof and his partners. That’s still the basic story being told. Yet, they didn’t want his version of the script. This is just normal Hollywood. Lucasfilm simply has to get a good script before they start filming this time.
Sadly for them, they initially hired Stephen Knight. Either Knight couldn’t get there creatively, or Lucasfilm didn’t like it. Either way it did not work out. I’m sure every Star Wars fan wants Lucasfilm to make sure you get a solid script before making a sequel to the universally hated The Rise of Skywalker. I say take your time, Ridley isn’t going anywhere.
So, Daisy Ridley gives a small update on her Rey Sequel Star Wars movie. What do you think of Ridley’s comments? Any Star Wars thoughts below.
