Star Wars 8 Goes ‘Deeper Into Rey’s Story’, Says Daisy Ridley

Daisy Ridley as Rey

After a certain amount of goofing around: "Who doesn't know their own last name?!", Gad finally got Ridley to talk about what we can expect in Star Wars 8. "Do you know I actually can tell you some things. Yeah, yeah. A small amount I have for you," she teased.

"What I can say is, in The Last Jedi, we go deeper into Rey’s story. And what is very apparent from where we left off in The Force Awakens and where we begin with The Last Jedi is Rey has a certain expectation as to what she might be getting from Luke and what that might entail. And as a lot of people know, it’s difficult when you meet your heroes because it might not be what you expect."

At the end of "The Force Awakens," Rey finds a hidden Luke Skywalker and appears to give him back his lightsaber lost years ago. Fans expect that Luke might train Rey in the ways of the force.

Those words are sure to catch the eye of fans as the mentor/mentee relationship may not develop as organically as many had hoped, but that could only help the dynamic between Mark Hamill and Ridley more intriguing. As this is played out, Ridley will have the chance to shine even brighter as an actresses, and director Rian Johnson is praising everything that she brings to the role.
