STAR WARS Sequel Trilogy's Daisy Ridley Replies With "Never Say Never" When Asked About Rey Return

The Star Wars sequel trilogy has reached its conclusion, but would Daisy Ridley consider returning to the role of Rey in the not too distant future? The actress seems willing to leave the door open!

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was met with a mixed response, and the way things wrapped up for each of the sequel trilogy's new characters - Rey "Skywalker," Finn, and Poe Dameron - didn't exactly strike a chord with every fan. The door was clearly left open for them to retun, but comments from both John Boyega and Oscar Isaac have made it sound like they're far from keen. 

Daisy Ridley, however, at least seems open to the idea if comments she shared in an interview with Josh Gad on Jimmy Kimmel Live! are any indiction. 

Asked if she would consider returning as the daughter of an Emperor Palpatine clone, the English actress responded, "Never say never, but to me The Rise of Skywalker was tied off with a bow." It doesn't sound like Ridley is exactly chomping at the bit to come back, which is perfectly understandable.

Mark Hamill and Hayden Christensen both struggled to remain in the spotlight after their respective Star Wars movies, with the latter dropping completely off the radar. Things are looking up for Ridley for the most part, though she's yet to book a role anywhere near as high-profile as the lead in a Star Wars trilogy. 

There's more story to be told with Rey, but that can easily be tackled in a comic or novelization.

Well she has to, otherwise how can we know for certain she travels back in time being pregnant with Ben's child and change her name to Shmi? It's not incest, since her dad, just like the Episode IX Palpatine, aren't the real Palpatine, but just mere clones.

I would not mind another crack at a trilogy for Rey. The first one started out strong but then withered. The just need to make a more compelling villain and a cohesive story.

Old woman: Do you have some spare food.

Rey: I’m Rey...

Old woman: Yeah okay Rey, how about you hit me with some spare change?

Rey: ... Rey Skywalker

Old woman: F*** off bi***, I hope you die hungry too.

I'm not into Star Wars... Like at all, but there's one good reason I watched TROS and TFA.

Bring Rey back, write her better. The more Daisy the better!!

Just have Daisy playing herself as a Sith lord called Darth Daisy, that'll do me.

Of course she'll return, she ain't getting work anywhere else.

I expect her to return in about 30 years when they retell a new hope for third or fourth time.

If they do use the time reset I would love to see Rey redone and written by a non sexist she could of been an amazing character and Jedi.
