The world of Star Wars
has moved on so much since Daisy Ridley
first performed Rey Skywalker in The Power Awakens, and it’s now six years since her final look in The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. The time that has handed gave the actress a cause to hesitate when being requested to return in a brand new Star Wars film, which is anticipated to reach in cinemas in 2026/2027, as she frightened that she might not bear in mind methods to be her character once more.
Talking in an intensive interview on In The Envelope, Ridley defined how, regardless of having performed Rey in three main Star Wars films, her return for the “New World Order” film is a totally new problem. She mentioned:
“The primary three movies, we did pretty shut collectively within the grand scheme of issues. So one of many issues is: Do I bear in mind methods to be Rey? It’s been some time, and time has handed in [the ‘Star Wars’] world. So there are lots of questions on what has occurred in that point, each for me and for the character; that in and of itself appears like a problem. After which there’s the truth that I’ll be working with totally different actors and totally different filmmakers, which brings up various things. And that’s at all times progressive, I suppose, as a result of it’s another person’s interpretation.
There are such a lot of totally different approaches when it’s a unique staff that I really feel like it would already be a problem to bridge the earlier movies and this one, as a result of it’s been a very long time. However it’s an thrilling problem—a fantastic one—as a result of each job is a ‘Who is aware of?’ You possibly can have a tremendous script, a tremendous director, a tremendous tick, tick, tick, tick, however you simply don’t know what one thing may be. The potential is all there, however none of us is aware of [what will happen]. We do our work and we go house, and a lot of it’s in different individuals’s arms. It’s at all times a lesson in interpretation and perspective.”

Disney is well-known for trying forward, and with a slate of flicks scheduled out for the subsequent three years, it’s unsurprising that a few of these movies don’t land on the date they had been initially meant to.

She beforehand mentioned:
“Individuals have talked about it so much that the discharge date usually impacts movies and the way shortly issues go into manufacturing. So the liberty to ensure that this script is one of the best ways to inform this story is fantastic, and I don’t suppose any followers would need it to be rushed. The wait shall be value it. I do know what George [Nolfi] is engaged on, and he is an exceptional author. So I’m actually trying ahead to studying it, and sure, it’s all worthwhile.”
The principle downside with Disney is that they often announce tasks slightly too far forward. It’s now over two years since Lucasfilm revealed a swathe of recent films from some massive filmmakers heading out into theaters within the following years. Up to now, the one film with a concrete launch date is Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian and Grogu, which shall be arriving in cinemas on Might 22, 2026.

Nevertheless, they’ve been equally aggravated by continually altering launch dates. Maybe, as Ridley suggests, followers simply want to simply accept that films are prepared when they’re prepared, and simply don’t pay an excessive amount of consideration to launch dates till they’re finalized.
