Daisy Ridley on ‘Sometimes I Think About Dying’ and Her ‘Worthwhile’ Return to ‘Star Wars’: The ‘Idea Is Cool as S—’


Daisy Ridley spoke to Variety about her indie drama "Sometimes I Think About Dying" and stepping back into Rey for another "Star Wars."

Daisy Ridley spent her 20s on film sets, fighting Siths as Rey in the “Star Wars” trilogy and ironing out her alibi in Kenneth Branagh’s whodunit “Murder on the Orient Express.” Ridley spoke to Variety about her first time as a producer on “Sometimes I Think About Dying” and stepping back into Rey’s Jakku desert garb for another “Star Wars” adventure (and before you ask — no, she doesn’t know when the new installment goes into production). She finds it hard to fit in, but sometimes she’s like, “I don’t want to be part of this.” By the last shot of the film, she has done the scariest thing she could imagine: Telling someone her actual thoughts and being vulnerable; making a true connection with another human.
