Daisy Ridley Opens Up About Star Wars Backlash and Health Struggles

Set to Return as Rey in New Film Despite Past Challenges

Daisy Ridley, who played Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, has spoken about the backlash she faced from fans, describing it as 'still upsetting'.
Ridley revealed that the stress of filming the Star Wars movies led to her developing holes in her stomach wall due to severe anxiety.
She took a six-month break before filming the final installment, 'The Rise of Skywalker', and found the COVID-19 lockdown helpful in processing her experiences.
Despite the challenges, Ridley is set to reprise her role as Rey in a new Star Wars film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, set 15 years after 'The Rise of Skywalker'.
Ridley has expressed excitement about the new film, stating that the story is 'cool as shit' and 'worthwhile'.
