Daisy Ridley Says ‘Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker’ Outrage Is ‘Still Upsetting,’ Calls Rey and Kylo Ren’s Divisive Kiss ‘a Goodbye’ That ‘Felt Earned’


Daisy Ridley says the divisive response to "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" is "still upsetting."

Another moment in “The Rise of Skywalker” that generated a polarizing response is when Rey and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) share a passionate kiss before his death. Kylo has fully abandoned the dark side at this point and even used his own Force healing powers to resurrect Rey, who appeared to die after defeating Palpatine. The trilogy’s will-they-won’t-they moments between Rey and Kylo led to the “Reylo” movement, with some fans hoping for a full-blown romance storyline between the two characters.
