Daisy Ridley offers a very measured, diplomatic take on “divisive” Star Wars sequels

In other words, she liked all three of them (unlike John Boyega). That’s in keeping with what Ridley said last year, when she noted that the idea that “you can be a hero and not come from anywhere” (from The Last Jedi) and “you can be a hero and come from literally the worst person in the universe” (from Rise Of Skywalker) are both “interesting,” even though it doesn’t make sense if those heroes are the same person. Are you nobody or are you the most definitive Somebody in the galaxy? Honestly, it’s just irresponsible.

Whatever. It’s silly to keep relitigating the Star Wars sequels (how many times can we say that without meaning it?), which was actually part of the point Ridley was making. She said on Happy Sad Confused that, when she met with Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy last year, multiple people came up to her and asked if she would do more Star Wars movies—which she says was “quite different” from the reaction after Rise Of Skywalker. The point is: We all get over our dumb Star Wars grievances eventually, and Lucasfilm will always be there to give us more Star Wars whenever we’re ready for it. Also: Ridley and Vin Diesel should consider getting into politics together.

*The Last Jedi is the good one.
