Daisy Ridley rose to fame playing Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy beginning with 2015’s The Force Awakens, but it turns out she hasn’t rewatched it since it first came out.Ridley took part in a Q&A after a screening of her upcoming movie Cleaner, hosted by Collider, and was asked how many times she’s seen The Force Awakens.“I watched it maybe three times around the time it came out,” she answered. “And then weirdly it was on in the gym when I was working out, so I saw a bit of it recently.”She went on to say that she has to separate watching herself on the screen from watching a movie she’s in as a whole. “It’s never really comfortable, but certainly when it came on recently I was like, ‘Aw!’ and it really felt, like, very sweet to watch very young me on the screen.”Some rapid-fire questions with Daisy Ridley, starting with “how many times have you seen the Force Awakens?” pic.twitter.com/Z2rtotoIwA— mel (@whitesuitdriver) February 11, 2025Ridley, who then appeared in 2017’s The Last Jedi and 2019’s The Rise Of Skywalker to complete the trilogy, also updated ComicBook on her upcoming Star Wars movie, in which she’ll again be playing Rey – and it has working title of Star Wars: New Jedi Order.

Earlier this year, she described the plot as being “cool as shit.”While most of the details are being kept under wraps, it’s reported that Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is directing and George Nolfi is working on the screenplay – after a number of writers, including Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders), dropped out.
