The star of
The Force Awakens and the upcoming
The Last Jedi , Daisy Ridley, sat down with
Elle UK to take some pics and talk about
Star Wars.
Ridley discussed how the pressure was increased this go around, and how she didn't think her performance in the last film measured up:
'I didn't think I was good in the first film, and I was struggling with that.'
How the late Carrie Fisher told her not to shy away from success, but to enjoy it:
'And that was wonderful. At work, you're normal, you're not the anomaly, unlike in other situations.'
On how her having less scenes with co-star John Boyega made her realize the magnitude of the franchise:
'It's not this big adventure that I'm on with John [unlike the first movie]. I was thinking I did the first one because I didn't really know what I was getting myself into and I was having loads of fun, and suddenly I'm realising what this actually is, and I can't f**king do this. I'm highly dramatic – so it's all 'oh my God'…finally I was like 'Oh yeah, this is working.''
And in what ways Harrison Ford and her father remind her of each other:
'They both have an earring and are f**king awesome.'
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is in theaters December 14th.
