There’s been very little movement on Star Wars’ upcoming Rey standalone movie, but star Daisy Ridley has promised it will be worth the wait.
“Honestly, there are scripts that I read five years ago, and now I’ve gone, ‘Oh, maybe they will actually happen,’” Ridley told IGN of the reality of films being stuck in limbo.
“I think over the years, I’ve learned how the reality of getting any film made is so massive. The hurdles are vast… But with [the Rey movie] particularly, I know that incredible voices and creatives are part of it, and I know the wait will be worth it.”
The Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy-directed Rey movie was announced at the 2023 event along with confirmation of its place on the Star Wars timeline – which will see a post-Rise of Skywalker Rey attempt to rebuild the Jedi Order.
