Actor Daisy Ridley has shared some advice for any future female actors joining the Star Wars universe.
Speaking to Variety in a recent interview to promote her new film Sometimes I Think About Dying, Ridley–who played Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker–spoke up on how she dealt with being the star of the sequel trilogy.
Ridley offered some advice to female actors becoming leads, saying, “The world is a crazy place. It’s important to tune out the stuff. Not just with Star Wars, but with everything, you try and be in the moment and enjoy what it is because life moves quickly.”
Ridley also commented on the upcoming Disney+ series The Acolyte, set around 100 years before the Skywalker Saga, as well as the star of the show Amanda Stenberg.
“Amandla Stenberg can handle herself. She’s been working for a long time. I sat next to someone at the Wakanda Forever premiere, an executive, and they said [The Acolyte] is amazing.”
“Everyone knows how things are and how they can be,” Ridley added. “We’re all living in that, with people saying more than they need to and commenting more than they need to. It’s so individual. Find the good in it all and enjoy it.”
