Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley left fans confused and a little disappointed a few days ago. The actress, who plays Rey in Lucasfilm's newest trilogy, seemed to imply that she was through with the franchise when she had concluded her work on the final installment, Episode IX (due for release in 2019).
"I am really, really excited to do the third thing and round it out, because ultimately, what I was signing on to was three films. So in my head, it's three films. I think it will feel like the right time to round it out," Ridley told Rolling Stone.
Ridley has since clarified her comments with the BBC, saying that she envisioned Rey's story ending in Episode IX due to only having signed up for three films, but she isn't averse to returning after the new trilogy has ended. "When I did sign up, I did sign up for three films and that's where I sort of saw the story ending," she said. "I think everyone has perhaps taken that as me going, 'I don't want anything to do with it' which is vastly untrue because this is awesome."
Of course, this doesn't confirm that Rey will appear in any film beyond Episode IX, but it's reassuring to know that Ridley is open to the possibility.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives in theatres on December 15, 2017.
