Daisy Ridley Didn't Like Her Force Awakens Performance

Daisy Ridley was not a sports fan of her performance inStar warfare : The Force Awakens , which made filmingThe Last Jedia stressful thing . The actress was surcharge out of obscurity by J.J. Abrams to headlineEpisode VII , which not only was one of the most awaited photographic film ever made , but also Ridley ’s feature cinema debut . It kick the bucket without saying that there was an enormous amount of pressure on the small fry to be one of the new face of the franchise , and even withAbrams telling his newfound adept how seriously fans takeStar Wars , Ridley never full grasped the order of magnitude of the undertaking until the cameras were really rolling .

Fortunately , it all turn out in the serious way possible , with Ridley ’s Rey quickly becoming a fan - favorite viewer ca n’t waitress to see more of . While the character was well - drop a line by Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan , a lion ’s percentage of the credit has to go to Ridley , who won the hearts of millions with a multi - dimensional turn that hinted at the promise of handsome things to come .

In an audience withElle , Ridley talk about her emotion while on theLast Jediset , tell the outlet,“I did n’t think I was good in the first film , and I was struggling with that . “She also found the experience of being without co - asterisk John Boyega for large portions of the subsequence ( after the two were side - by - side onForce Awakens ) strenuous for a little second :

' It ’s not this big adventure that I ’m on with John [ unlike the first movie ] . I was thinking I did the first one because I did n’t really know what I was getting myself into and I was having slews of fun , and suddenly I ’m gain what this actually is , and I ca n’t f**king do this . I ’m extremely striking – so it ’s all ' oh my God' … finally I was like ' Oh yeah , this is mould . ''

It ’s sure as shooting perceivable why Ridley would finger this way . InForce Awakens , she developed a squeamish alchemy and rapport with Boyega , and the two were a dynamical brace for audiences to follow along the journeying . In the case ofThe Last Jedi , however , Rey is separate from her friend as she seeks out the exiled Luke Skywalker , a astronomical legend who isnone too please to see a visitant on his island . From a certain point of view , there ’s a meta slant to explore here , as Ridley found herself act against Mark Hamill on aStar Warssequel , handling some aroused scenesthat solution crusade interrogation about the sequel trilogy . That ’s a intimidating project for someone who is still fundamentally an industry newcomer , and Ridley missing Boyega could have informed her Rey functioning ( especially early on on ) . as luck would have it , her nerves settle down down , and base on the brief amounts of footage release , she ’s more than prosperous in the role .

Some may see this as Ridley being too grueling on herself ( she even says she ’s extremely striking ) , but it ’s encouraging that the actress is n’t simply bask in the congratulations she receive and wants to improve her guile as the series progresses . That should ensure Rey becomes a more compelling character in the upcoming films , since Ridley is on her means to becoming a more dynamic actress . fortunately for her , she also had Abrams ( who ’s returning forEpisode IX ) and Johnson - two directors known for incur excellent performance out of their casts - to head her , which sure makes the process easy . No one will ever full grasp the demands of being the star ofStar Wars , but Ridley has the right brain .
