Daisy Ridley Shows Off Improved Lightsaber Skills In STAR WARS EPISODE VIII Behind The Scenes Video
Rey managed to overcome Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but she's going to need a lot of help to do the same in Episode VII. It's a good job Luke has taught her some fancy new moves then...
Star Wars: The Force Awakens ended with Kylo Ren being taken to Supreme Leader Snoke to finish his training and Rey hunting down Luke Skywalker in order to begin hers, and based on the video below, it seems like it's been going pretty well for the Jedi hopeful. While the battle between those two characters in that movie was very similar to the lightsaber duels from the original trilogy, it seems like Rian Johnson will be taking things in a slightly more graceful direction, something which makes sense seeing as both Rey and Kylo are very strong in the Force. That should make prequel fans happy!
Oh, and the guy helping Daisy Ridley to perfect these moves? It's Liang Yang, better known as TR-8R in The Force Awakens! Rumour has it that we'll learn the title of Episode VIII on May 4th, but with Disney no doubt keen to have the focus remain on this December's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, it may be a little too soon to bank on that. As always, we're just going to have to wait and see for now.
