Daisy Ridley described Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker without revealing too much with an interesting summary of the final chapter in the Skywalker saga.
With the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker just over a month away, Daisy Ridley has teased wha fans can expect from the film aside from the usual battle of good versus evil. The most recent trailers for The Rise of Skywalker tease an emotional conclusion to the new trilogy from Disney, as Daisy Ridley’s Rey faces Kylo Ren aboard the wreckage of the second Death Star from the original Star Wars trilogy. But Daisy Ridley teased that the film has a significantly darker tone than previous chapters in the saga.
Entertainment Weekly asked Daisy Ridley to describe the film in a few words, but without spoiling anything. The actress carefully described the last chapter in the Skywalker saga as “genuinely scary” in places, but with a joyful undertone. It’s fair to guess that the scary scenes she mentions might have something to do with the scene of Daisy Ridley’s Rey wielding a double sided red lightsaber that we saw in a previous trailer. The joyful nature could come from the impressive scene of all the ships in the Resistance leading the battle against the First Order. Either way, Daisy Ridley’s Rey will definitely have an interesting character arc in the film. Take a look at what Daisy Ridley said about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker below.
“Definitely dark….There are bits that are genuinely scary. And sad. And joyful.”
