The class is 2023 and , yes , we ’re still blab about the Star Wars sequel trilogy . Specifically , thedisconnectbetween Rian Johnson’sThe Last Jediand J.J. Abrams’The Force AwakensandThe Rise of Skywalker . Star Daisy Ridley has anew movie at Sundanceand there , she was asked what she thought about the reveal that her character , Rey , was the grandchild of Emperor Palpatine , especially when so much was made of her potentially being “ no one . ”
“ Well , J.J. [ Abrams ] was the one who was like , she is of no one , so it was n’t just The Last Jedi where that was the message , ” Ridleysaid to Rolling Stone . “ What was interesting about the last one , for me , was that you could be a submarine and not add up from anywhere or you could be a paladin and total from literally the unfit person in the existence . You ’re not your parent , you ’re not your grandparent , you ’re not your bloodline and you ’re not the generations before you . So , I always was like , sure . But it ’s beyond my pay level . I say the words , do the thing . I do love the version of , you’re able to be anyone you want to be , but I also make out the version where you’re able to remedy wrongs and ca n’t help what you ’re have a bun in the oven into . ”
On the open , this is a very diplomatical solvent . She does n’t lay blame or take a side . She just provides perspective on how every rendition of the film ’s events can be seen . Which , while electroneutral , is the veracious reply . Because there is no answer . Once the movies are out , they no longer go to the movie maker , they belong to the devotee . So if you detest that Rey was Rey Palpatine , that ’s fine . If you love it , that ’s fine . If you have a more complex view on it , that ’s fine too . Ridley just seems to be open to whatever , and that ’s the right answer .
