What did you think of RISE OF SKYWALKER? Watch my full chat with Daisy here! czcams.com/video/h06b_eY_-es/video.htmlsi=RXLZFcaI0IxSOUKL
The problem with TROS was JJ not Daisy! I mean, sure, it was an entertaining escape from reality, but as a sequel to TLJ it was terrible (too much back peddling) and as an ending to the saga it was lazy.
@@lookingforwookiecopilot You must be surely kidding? The issue was that TLJ thought subverting expectations built by Force Awakens was an actual crowd pleaser. That entry wrote itself into a corner so the only way to move forward was to back peddle. TLJ should go down in history as an example of what not to do in the 2nd part of a trilogy.
I know I'm in the minority.......but I LOVED TROS! TLJ, on the other hand, gets worse each time I watch it 😔
@@eufrosniad994 In TFA the New Republic government is destroyed and Luke is missing, having just "walked away from it all" after one of his students destroyed his school. TLJ begins with what's left of the "good guys" fleeing, and Rey finding a Luke that still has a "walk away from it all" mentality.
So, what expectations from TFA did TLJ subvert?
@@lookingforwookiecopilot I think it’s safe to say that being unable to comprehend any expectations in TFA explains why you enjoyed TLJ. You remind me of a friend who had many of their favourite movies in the IMDb bottom 100 list. In short, you are far from a level of grasping themes and narrative devices that build expectations. So it is natural that everything appears great to you.
She did the best possible job she could with the material given. The story is not her fault.
Exactly. Writers are the blame for the sequel trilogy becoming a complete failure. If fans are blaming the actors for the roles, then they need to grow up and get their facts straight. The writers are telling the story, not the actors.
agreee 100%
THE "TRUE" STAR WARS FANS hated her back in 2017 she even quit social media back then fuck those guys..... she did her job why hated her ??? man child fans "TRUE FANS" star wars fans will attack other star wars fan sad fanbase....
So true. I feel so sorry for Ms Ridley. Imagine the excitement for a young actor being cast in the role of a lifetime only to watch it rapidly become such a weighty yoke around her professional and creative neck. I am amazed she’s returning to the role. If I was her, I’d be running as far away as possible.
Yeah Daisy did fine, just the writing was horrible.
I never blame the actors for a story that is being told. They’re there to bring what the writers put on the page onto the screen. But I 100% blame the writers and Disney for allowing them to switch directors for Last Jedi and ruining what was originally planned. Cause Rian ruined it all.
I never held the actors for being responsible for it I think they did the best they could with what they had
They're often the uplifting parts of bad films or TV episodes because they are playing these characters for quite some time, getting to know them, step into their skin so to speak and thus, even in a bad film or episode, they manage to give their best because they know their characters so well.
Definitely. Even Rose's actress did a fine job with the turd of a character she was given to play.
They should have turned down the role. They will get no forgiveness from me.
She can’t act she’s plays victim and guess what there’s another Rey movie yikes but she’ll complain about death threats after posting herself talking about the force is female state of it
@@gamer-px5cu Eh, don't mind that guy. He's just some incel in his mom's anyway. He's probably wearing a feroda and clothes he hasn't washed in two weeks too. Bet he also studies the blade.
I love how everyone learned from Hayden and isn’t blaming her
You’d be surprised how many people haven’t learned this lesson.
Well Hayden was a different thing. It wasn't the writing that people were hating on,it was the acting on his part.
@@bruno4499No it was the awful, awful writing.
@@criert135 Is that why the movies were a success praised by the majority? Because the writing was awful?
@@bruno4499 It is not worth your time and you are correct. I am old enough to remember, and the complaints were specifically about his delivery - especially in the second film, and MAGNIFIED by the scenes on Naboo. The dialogue did not help, but it was specifically pointed out that it was not just the writing, it was the delivery.
After the Revenge came out the perception changed because his performance was widely seen as far superior in that film to the previous. Different viewers attributed it to different skills he had acquired, but mostly agreed that he improved as an actor.
Some people are just parrots of things they heard, having not experienced it for themselves. It's like a ten year old trying to tell a college student what highschool is like.
I will never deny not liking the sequels and thinking the writing was a dumpster fire. What I will NEVER say is that any of the actors were to blame. NONE OF THEM.
Daisy, John, Oscar, Rose; Mark, Harrison & Carrie's reunion...they all got shafted by others.
So, respect to the actors. Always.
Adam? Probably my single favorite aspect of the sequel trilogy.
Totally agree, actors DEFINITELY delivered as best as they could.
They accepted the role. They're just as much to blame.
@@JonO387 Tht makes no sense 😭😭
The sequels were at least an improvement on the prequels, which have no redeeming features (esp. the fans).
You can tell she’s being as nice as she can be.. There’s a lot more that she wants to say but can’t.
agree, but yeah, I understand she can't really bash the writing or the movie or the direction since she's been cast again
Yeah she was going into this buffer zone of "let me think how honest I can be with an answer here"
@@jackbrodie7147 maybe she liked to film them but there is not ONE person that like Star Wars 9
I liked it. Star Wars is like Pizza. Even when it's not amazing, it's still pretty good. Except Revenge of the Sith. That's my least favorite in the entire Saga.
@@EthnHayabusa no you didn't
It's honestly a miracle with how bad her writing was, Daisy never seemed unlikable on screen. She is a good actress. The good parts that come from the character of Rey are attributed to Daisy, no one else.
this is true . At no point was she unlikeable which is quite a feat if you think about it.
Didn't think her writing was that bad. It wasn't like she was Padme or Anakin.
When I saw TFA she seemed so happy to be there. And she was the only one who seemed happy to be in it. Character not great, but she carried it.
I agree, she's a good actress and the character was likable. I wish the writing was better.
👌
Imagine being cast as the lead in the most anticipated 3 movies ever and have it turn out this way.
She pushed the feminism and toxic fans thing hard and is now trying to back track. No sympathy.
@@moonlambo5229well that was never the problem with the movie that's just opportunistic bigots jumping into the middle of a cultural phenomenon they flat-out don't understand and trying to pretend they're fans let's let's go ahead and throw that absurdness to one side like the absolute nonsense garbage that it is thank you.
The movie failed because the makers did not care about the story. Right-wing conservatism petulant bitching about cultural representation has not been part of why, ever. Just Jack jaw racist opportunists hopping on something and trying to make it all about themselves as per usual
@@moonlambo5229if Twitter was a person
@@moonlambo5229Disney did not her.
@@moonlambo5229 when has Daisy Ridley ever pushed feminism? all she ever did was her job, acting in those shitty movies, and she did a good job.
She should be a diplomat.
Im up with giving her an actual chance. She could be a senator or young padme. Maybe even try to make her meetra surik.
It's always interesting to see how actors are credited with both the successes AND the failures of what is otherwise in the hands of writers, directors, producers, editors, marketers, etc. But that's just how it goes.
Yeah, the downsides of being in the spotlight but I think in this and in a lot of recent cases people understand that. I don't see many people blaming the actors. Most blame the producers. It's just that the actors come face to face with it due to frequent interviews
Well someone like Harrison Ford could have just said fuck you I am a millionaire and I am not doing it.
naah...harrison has been saying yes to a lot of shits lately. i dont think he's the type that cares about his movie legacy, give him enough money and he'll do what he's told.
Yes, I agree. People don't seem to understand what an actor does. And he can sometimes salvage a bad script (like Sir Alec Guiness with the awful dialogue in A New Hope) but oftentimes they are at the mercy of those who write and direct a movie. Why hate on Christensen or Lloyd for the mess the Prequel Trilogy was? Sometimes I wonder about people.
@@gotchewz I have 30+ years of collective experience as an actor, director, writer, sound designer, video editor, fight choreographer, prop-maker, V.O. artist, etc. You are correct; the average human DEFINITELY does NOT know what any of these roles truly mean. They believe that they do... but, no... they do not.
She is being veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery diplomatic here. Anyone who watched that movie knows it was an editing nightmare. Really hope they give her a story and character that's worth telling in this next one. Just as much for her sake as for ours.
The problem is Kathleen Kennedy, as long as she’s there, Star Wars (outside of a couple exceptions like Andor) will continue to suck. It’s unfortunate because, as you said, Daisy is not the problem.
Nah Rey should never come back. Daisy should be successful in other movies
@@eliminator1472 She isn't, that's why she came back.
@@bencarlson4300 true, that is the problem
Star wars is dead
0:27 how much can I say without getting fired?
from what, the movies are done
@@raccoons_stole_my_account so you haven’t heard the news then. . .
@@raccoons_stole_my_account Even just bad mouthing a project you were involved in is a red flag and might harm her chances of getting work in future. No wonder she's being careful.
@@raccoons_stole_my_accountNo actor dares to bad mouth Disney
@@raccoons_stole_my_accountDaisy’s actually coming back for a new SW film, so she definitely had to watch her words.
Its not her fault. She’s a great actor and a lovely person. It’s Disney’s fault 100%. I feel bad mostly for John Boyega and how they wasted his character.
For real
Meh. Finn was a terrible character from concept. A former stormtrooper taken from his family and mentally conditioned for loyalty breaking free of the First Order should not, under any circumstances, have been the bumbling comic relief with a crush on the girl.
To make that character work, they would have had to hire a totally different actor.
Im confused why it's been announced she's agreed to come back n make a fourth project with star wars. I think that deserves some criticism as that's definitely on her as she n every one else onvo should walk away.
Coincidently, I rewatched it the other day. I have my issues with those movies. But I never blame her. I actually like Daisy Ridley. Is not her fault. She didn't write, produce and direct those movies. She was just doing the job she was hired for. Just like I have issues with Superman Returns but I don't blame Brandon Routh. I'll give the movie this, at least they tried to please fans. Because of the reception to the previous one. Is like JJ was, I heard you. It was silly Luke throwing the lightsaber away. They tried. And I'm not going to lie, seeing Lando on screen put a smile on my face.
I think most people agree that the problem with the movies is not the cast. The actors did a pretty good job with what they were given. You can see their talent in the other roles they've had since then. The criticism of the movies comes down to the really poor writing.
Yeah, I dont understand why JJ Abrahams SW movies, specially the last, get the same or even more hate then the middle Rian movie one. I mean the Force Awakens was not that great, but you could feel that JJ Abrahams loved the originals. It felt too close to them and as such kind of fan fiction. But at least there was some passion and care. And the baseline for the cool characters (not iconic, but they were good enough) was there. Then he came back for the third and tried to fix all the crap that Rian's ego created. And now he gets all the hate.
@@Daniel__Nobre The biggest mistake this trilogy made was not planning out the whole story in advance, a point that J.J. Abrams conceded in an interview not long ago. If they had, both J.J. and Rian Johnson would've been on the same page and we wouldn't have two films competing for the overall vision of this sequel trilogy.
@@Daniel__Nobre It's because it's so blatantly clear that JJ just doesn't care to make a good story. He bent over backward for the fans that cried about TLJ and fed every single ounce of nostalgia he could think of and made the safest half assed Star Wars movie. There's nothing creative original about it. No depth, no empathy, nothing. Rian actually tried to be creative and wrote something new for Star Wars to take it in a new direction. It felt like he actually tried. There was depth to the characters unlike TROS.
@@Daniel__Nobre It's because the female lead caught the bad side of the political zeigeist and many fans are contrary to be edgy or to seem more intelligent. Having Rian's movie as a preference is an actual bad opinion most of the time.
Say whatever you like about Disney, but Daisy is a class act. She has tact and candor in equal amounts, which is an extremely rare combination to find in a person.
You realize she pretends for a job
@@PattyOflan88, she doesn't write scripts for a job.
@@sm5574 of course. I'm speaking of OP's opinion on her in this interview
@@PattyOflan88, and I think a big part of the OP's opinion is her word choice.
❤
She’s a gem, no ego - no lies, no delusions.
She has the most adorable smile on the planet. I think she did great. She is the actor, not the writer. That being said, she was actually my favorite in that trilogy.
Her smile is bigger than a Sand Dunes mouth
Daisy is a Queen 👑
“It’s still upsetting because you don’t want people to feel like you’ve not served a thing that they are a fan of.”
Leave it to a CZcams journalist to use a clickbait title insinuating that Daisy said something else.
Leave it to a disingenuous CZcams commentator to pretend the title was a complete lie 🤡
She's a great actor and I will forever have a fanboy crush on her but she restored Star Wars magic. You can see how well she gelled with Harrison and Mark. So glad she's coming back. They must be paying her a fortune but it will be well deserved.
The problem was never the acting, it was the story, and the actors deserved a better story to be a part of.
The acting, the casting the writing and the directing...1-3 and 7 thru 9...total disaster. So much so its STILL being talked about how bad they are to this very day.
@@markherring3513No. They haven't gone away(regardless of opinions) and it just kills people like you.
@@fredcdobbs8128 Kills me? Nah...disgusted by it? Pretty much...kinda like how Biden is destroying this country...im disgusted by it.
I have posted this before but I think that it fits here too. However people feel about the sequels, absolutely none of it should be on Daisy Ridley. I can’t wait for her to return just like I couldn’t wait for Hayden Christensen and Ahmed Best to return!
agreed, i hate the sequel trilogy but i loved Daisy Ridley's performance as Rey and i'm hopeful the writing will improve in her new movie
@@vanlllasky Personally, I really like the sequel trilogy. I can see why it doesn’t work for people though!
@@Mallen151I like bad movies too! It’s okay to like bad movies, nothing wrong with it. The sequels were objectively bad and did damage to the brand (financial doesn’t lie) but it’s okay to like bad things.
@@thehikingcucumber3410 agree 100%. You can enjoy bad movies like attack of the clones or phantom menace as long as you know they aren't good movies.
@@thehikingcucumber3410 I hate the Rise of Skywalker so much, but what I hate more is when people say any piece of art is "objectively bad." It just seems so antithetical to what enjoying art should be about. Seems so inhuman to like be running a checklist in your brain of what constitutes good and bad instead of just letting the work wash over you and letting your emotions happen with the work. In my opinion, art is to be experienced emotionally, not logically. If I ask somebody their favorite movies and they rattle off the standard IMDB top 100 or the Letterboxd top 200 stuff, I could not care less about what that person has to say about art. Not to say that stuff is bad, I love most the movies on there, but at the end of the day I've watched Chinatown maybe 3 times. I've watched Billy Madison maybe 100. If I see a guy going up to bat for something insane like Tank Girl or like the Resident Evil movies or something, I'm "Oh I'm dealing with a real fucking movie fan here."
This is fascinating. As far as I’m aware, this is the first time someone involved in those films has acknowledged how divisive they were.
I’m very surprised she was willing to talk about that at all, really. Especially given she’s going back into the ring.
JJ has commented on it as well. He actually admitted how bad TFA was and how it was a mistake to make to intentionally make it derivative. He said something to the likes of "if you like the force awakens, you're crazy."
@conorfurlong Daisy Ridley has acknowledged that years ago when she said fan criticism was fair (don't remember if she said that after episode 8 or 9).
@@VonJay The Force Awakens is probably the best of the three disastrous sequel films...
@@everpuremusic which doesnt say much considering its an entire rip off of a new hope lol
I didn't care for the films, but she did an amazing job and hearing her talk here confirms to me she is an absolute professional. A fantastic talent.
Daisy was charming and likeable as hell in those movies, she did her absolute best with sub-par material. Feel so bad for her and the rest of the cast, being thrown to the wolves like that.
Nobody hates Star Wars as much as Star Wars fans.
Same as it ever was. I think “fans” of SW 77 (before it was renamed A New Hope) were originally pissed about both ESB and RofJ. Only time made them lighten up, same goes for the Prequels, they were so hated in their time they gave death threats to its actors and keep in mind this was both early Internet days and pre-YT. It got to the point of People v George Lucas and his indifference towards the future of the series.
More and more, the SW brand feels like a monkey’s paw, cursing everyone involved. I’m definitely looking forward to Rey’s comeback adventure. That said, SW fan sites and videos, run as fast as you can away from them. They’re all toxic.
@@GeneralBulldog54 Totally agree. As an 80s kid (meaning 70s-born) I remember how much grief ROTJ got. Some fans said the Ewoks “ruined” Star Wars. There was blowback about the sister revelation. And people who still hated that Han “won” the love triangle.
And then there was division about the EU. It “ruined” the OT.
And the prequels got so much hate (including for “ruining” the EU) and the OT was lionized as superior. Fans called for George’s head!
And then, of course, Disney “ruined” Star Wars. And fans said only George knew Star Wars and the prequels were lionized.
The cycle just keeps going!
…which is why the ability of Rogue One to have pleased the majority of fans from all eras is still remarkable to me. Sure, the Kyle Katarn fans are still shook but it ranks pretty high on most people’s lists!
This is such a lame attempt to deflect valid criticism. I see this quoted so often when the sequel trilogy is talked about. God forbid they don't get down on their knees and kiss the trilogies ass. No one likes a sycophant.
Or hear me out.....maybe it was the writing that was abysmal.
@@trevorthornley8835 Jesus Christ with a didgeridoo and a BB gun, riding a plaid-skinned T-Rex through downtown 1955 Los Angeles, if y’all applied the same standard of writing to the whole brother-kissing, technologically-stagnant, aerodynamically-improbable, impossibly-cozy vast galaxy of Star Wars as you do to the sequels, you’d find enormous problems with the entire franchise. Yet, in one breath, you forgive the OT and PT but pillory the ST.
Star Wars ain’t War and Peace. Unclench and let the kids who grew up with the ST love it as much as whichever trilogy you loved as a kid.
I can’t imagine being a part of something that a billion strangers have opinions on. It must be exhausting.
Such an uncomfortable space to be interviewed.
She is a really creative actress, just watch other films’ 🎞️ she was involved with.
Honored to have met you
Daisy is just so lovely
Why is none of the studio equipment turned on
I loved the sequels and Daisy and Rey! Thanks for the interview!
the mental gymnastics this woman is going through :( she's on point with it tho
CEILING HELP ME
She has to if she wants to ever get a job again
Daisy Ridley genuinely seems so kind and grounded. It's a shame she suffered so much backlash personally when it was the film and character that sucked not her as a person! Hope to see her flourish in other films moving forward
almost tearing up for the whole interview
Daisy is so adorable. She did a great job with what Disney gave her.
I love her. I'm not a fan of the sequels, but she is outstanding
I hope they do right by her this time
They won't. They're not capable of it. Star Wars has become a platform for an ideology that most of the world is rejecting.
It's the same team, basically, at Lucasfilm that brought you the Disney Trilogy abomination, so it is really doubtful. They did all the actors a disservice, especially the OG cast and Daisy being the star. They damaged the OG's and made her have pretty much zero character arc. Rey was a BORING character. She was super perfect in practically every way from the get-go. That's not an interesting person. They need to be able to overcome adversities and rise to the occasion. They can't go from awesome to super awesome. Yuck.
Maybe you go to the Lucasfilm at the Skywalker ranch and tell them you're gonna be a new writer for the new Star wars film. If you don't like Rey, use Mara Jade instead and cast an actress to be beautiful or sexy and make her to suit up on more revealing costume. There you have it, you have a new star wars that better. You fucking bastard.
@@dan_hitchman007 I don’t think she was super perfect. I think male viewers just wanted to see her suck because they didn’t look at her and buy her as a worthy protagonist. Rey was flawed because she was stubborn, impatient, unpolished, and on occasion illogical - all of which she shared with Luke by the way. I’m over the tired Mary Sue complaint because it doesn’t apply for male protagonists: you expect the male action hero to be a badass and look cool doing stunts and trick shots and kicking ass and to know what he’s doing. But for the record, I had qualms with how they handled the original characters too.
Rey was boring because they didn’t DEVELOP her. They barely changed her look. They left her isolated with her parentage up in the air until panicking about it and giving it the dumbest explanation ever. They didn’t give her a personal goal other than to turn Kylo Ren; her other goal of ending the First Order was a shared goal with the entire rebellion. We can’t even say that her personal goal was to find her parents because she believed she was supposed to wait on Jakku for them to return and she had zero clues as to why they left or where to, so they shot her in the foot by making her innermost desire a totally passive point.
@@TheBrandiElizabeth You saw a different set of films than I from your perspective. It also has nothing to do with the character being female. There were great films with female protagonists that I grew up with. In comparison, Rey was a weakly written character with very little growth. They even had to come up with a last minute excuse as to why she was so amazing so early... being a Palpatine and that SURPRISE!! he's still alive. That little come out of nowhere twist completely ruined Vader's redemption in Jedi. They messed up Luke, Han, Leia, Lando, Vader, Chewie, Yoda, the droids... they just couldn't leave well enough alone. No wonder Mark Hamill and John Boyega were pissed.
The crazy thing about Disney Star Wars and Lucas Star Wars is how all the actors viewed the movies and their performances and Star Wars as a whole. Ewan loved his role and embraced it and couldn't wait to get back. He's more than excited to come back as Obi Wan. Hayden had a weird period where people hated him but now love him, however, he always loved playing Anakin and wanted to do it again. Natalie, I wouldn't say "loved" her role as Padme but she was extremely well received and she would also love to play her role again. Mark Hamill, is, well, Mark Hamill and loves everything about it. He IS Star Wars. The sequel cast...they're all basically done. They don't appear to love their roles or embrace their characters and they seem to not like the movies and where it put them as a whole. When Episode 7 came out, they were still pretty hyped, even after 8 came out. Once TRoS got its backlash, they all kinda just moved on and want nothing to do with Star Wars or their characters, which is very different from everyone who was in the Lucas era. Sure, some might have different feelings than what I've covered but for the most part, they're done and they don't care. Daisy doesn't seem hyped to ever come back. Adam Driver doesn't exactly want to come back.
Well, all the characters in the prequels you mentioned, and the ones you mentioned from the OG trilogy were well written, so ofc they embrace their roles etc. If you were someone who gets cast to play a character in SW and you get all excited but the writers ruin it, you would be dissapointed aswell and probably wouldn't really want to come back or be hyped about it if you do
It was basically impossible to come back from Rian Johnson’s abomination
She's so sweet. She deserved so much better from the writers/directors/producers
The actors need to understand that most fans aren't upset at them at all, nor do they blame them for sequel trilogy. It's directed at the writers, directors and executives at Disney.
Well... The caveat being if any of the actors shill or gaslight on the fans.
That sort of thing goes down like a cup of cold sick.
RJ certainly deserves every criticism thrown his way, if I ever hear the term "subvert expectations" again, it will be too soon. But to be fair, this is almost ENTIRELY JJs mess. He was the one that couldn't think of anything better than a poor copy of ANH. He was the one that thought of the idea to excise Luke from TFA and ditch him into self-exile. He was the one that thought it was a great idea not to reunite Luke, Leia, and Han. He was the one that couldn't write himself out of the mystery box he put trapped himself in Rise of Skywalker. The PT had its dialogue problems, but it at least gave us an original story that Lucas clearly planned out, but the ST was doomed the moment JJ was hired.
She's such a hugely talented actress. She was young to the industry and thrust into the big Hollywood machine with Star Wars where she had little to zero control over how they were made. She deserved better.
OMG, she's such a pretty, gorgeous, beautiful, talented, breathtaking, & dedicated actress. I'm honored & glad to see her star in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy as Rey Skywalker. My only regret is that the storyline plot could have been much greater & awesome than what we got. And I don't blame her for ruining the sequel trilogy; it wasn't her fault. She did her best to accommodate the sequel trilogy's filming direction & adapt to the changing storyline plot material that was given to her. Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker will truly be the bad###, legendary Jedi character forever immortalized in the Star Wars universe. I can't wait to see in anymore future Star Wars projects. May The Force Be With You Always, Rey. And keep up the great work, Daisy; I'm rooting for you always! 😘😍🥰🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️✌️✌️✌️
I like Daisy as a person and as an actress. The disasterpiece that was the sequel trilogy was definitely not her fault imo. The only one shafted worse than her is John Boyega lol
My God, an interview with an actor who speaks honestly, openly, and gives their personal perspective. Actually interesting and insightful. Love it.
The issue was the writing and the way Female Characters are treated. Women don't train they are born with talent or they have none in movies. It's kind of like the Conan Series, he was a slave who worked as a mule, and became strong. Luke Trained with Yoda. Ray was just born beautiful and powerful. No training needed and she is better than Kylo? They tried to address this in the 3rd movie but it's just something an audience notices. We want to see the earning of skills, the pain that makes a character great. Not emotional pain but the pain of striving for something. Without seeing that it's hard to believe in a hero. I think that's one reason so many superhero movies don't really make you feel anything. You get bit by a spider and your powerful, its a cop out for the work needed on a character. The Dark Knight shows the pain and training of Bruce. Even the First Wonder Woman showd Gal's character being pushed to her limit. That movie made you feel like the Amazons were great warriors, and made you root for them. Or a Superman character who does not want to be Superman he just wants to be Clark, the world just wont let him do that.
The Relationship between Kylo and Ray never made sense... Maybe I don't get the "Bad Boy" thing but after she watches him kill his father, her father figure. Then try to kill his mother, her mother figure. She falls for him while he is attempting to kill her mentor Luke? Falling for the bad guy makes a female character look weak to male audiences. I wanted to see her fall for Finn the guy who risked it all to leave the First Order. To complete a better redemption story for Finn. Finn gets to kill his tormenter Phasma. Can you imagine if they wanted us to believe Finn would kiss Phasma? No because no guy would do that. But they think its acceptable to Ray to fall for Kylo, or to fix him? Yuck...
Her character (Ray) was good and she was great, but for the older fans seeing Luke as a failure to his family, and Ray was a hard blow. Movies just can't recover from that. Daisy Ridley is just a victim of bad Disney Writers. If Ray is rebooted it would be great to see her as an instructor to make fun of the bad writing of the past. Show her training the new actors, or working hard on her character like we saw in her third movie.
I'm not sure I'm a fan of how you framed that kiss question, Josh, but thanks for asking it.
Daisy comes across as such a lovely gal.
We love you daisy! Don't worry, can't wait to see you again!
Daisy and the crew were doing the best they could with the material given to them. The creative is responsible for the outcome of that trilogy.
I truly love her, she gave Star Wars her whole self. I wish with all my heart they had given her a better script.
Dang, Daisy! Way to not miss calf day!
You've got this soccer player's respect.
She’s got an amazing ass and legs.

My wife had never seen Star Wars and she really enjoyed the newest trilogy with Rey since she didn’t have any preconceived notions of what it should or shouldn’t be. Sure. I had my fair share of complaints but I had a lot of fun watching them with her. Daisy did a great job.
Her voice cracking when she said “earned” is too perfect
It wasn’t divisive, it was garbage
Garbage was Rise.
tlj was still divisive among the fanbase even though it sucked, but it’s hard to find someone who genuinely likes ros
If this new Rey movie happens, I just really really really hope it's great, solely for Daisy's sake. She's such a great actress, and was so good with what was given her for these movies. It would be awesome to really see her knock it out of the park with a great script and great director to work with.
What did she say at 1:25?
It’s weird that there’s films are so big that real conversations with the cast and crew rarely happen. This is a great exception to that.
I hope she gets more work , she’s a delight & a wonderful actress deff will watch her new starwars movie 🍿
She keeps looking up thinking ‘what can I say?’
Very clearly..
I liked all three movies. Daisy did an amazing job. And I can't wait to see her as Rey again.
I really like Daisy and I hope nothing but the best for her. The biggest issue of those films is the writing and direction. No fault should ever be on the actors for just doing their job. The same goes for the prequels as well. Overall, I love all the films, but none of them are perfect. All have issues, yet I can't stop enjoying them.
I still can’t believe they didn’t just work Darth Plagueis into it. It was there from Revenge of the Sith and would have tied the whole lot together nicely.
Seriously. It was right there. I honestly think that is who Snoke was
The last one super divisive?? That last film was such a major fuckup that it united the split fanbase in its hate.
TFA fans hate it, TLJ fans hate it, Reylo's got what they wanted and then had it taken away the next second.
It's interesting how people just hear what they want to hear, some people liked and appreciated the movie even if a lot of people weren't happy. I enjoyed them and from the sound of things, the actors are proud of their work. It's nice to think that enough time has passed that they are willing to let some other writers and directors have a crack at the characters and maybe it could result in episodes X, XI, and XII.
She was awesome and the stories were intertaining and great. I enjoyed them!
Daisy makes me want to like Rey but the writers/directors did everything in their power to stop that. She deserved better.
It wasn't her. It was the writing, She is a great actress.
@@ianhirst1148no shit, ur only the millionth person to say that
I love her as an actress. I love her as conversationalist.
Great style, beauty & legs 😅 ❤ 😍
Ridley is an amazing actress and amazing person. The problem wasn’t her, it was the story and script given
It's not her fault that the last coherent, complete SW movie came out in 1983 and the rest have been built on a mountain of hubris. From Lucas thinking he didn't need help with the dialogue even with his two main actors complaining about the dumb sentences they were being given, to Rian Johnson thinking he didn't need to understand what made a series popular before he "subverted" it, to a studio head who never got past her gender studies at college. The result? Forty-one years of missed opportunities and mediocre mud.
The film upset a lot of people.
Ofc it did biggest crime in film history not to have one scen whit luke leia and han, 😂😂😂😂
Daisy is so lovely. People need to remember that actors are human beings.
I have seen that movie 4 times now and I can't remember a frame of it. I have no idea what happens in Rise of Skywalker. I remember waking up and seeing the Emperor and being very confused.
The Actors are NOT to be blames... as long as they dont insult/disrespect the fans for rejecting their characters. #Simple #VerySimpleLogic
Fans trated her so fuckin unfairly. Shes so goddamn awesome in those movies.
Respectfully disagree with you.
As I stated in my previous post, I'm not here to start a flame war and I understand and respect your opinion, but the way I see it, the fan community did nothing wrong to Daisy Ridley or the rest of the cast for that matter, including Kelly Marie Tran.
If there is anyone who's been unfair to Daisy Ridley, it's been "the powers that be," the people who created Rey and this new generation of Star Wars characters and storylines that a good number of fans just don't like, myself included.
The fans who genuinely love the world created by George Lucas react to the characters and how they are presented. The only time fans truly react to an actor / actress is when they start saying questionable / ridiculous things in public (i.e., Brie Larson) or they attack the fan base. Daisy Ridley has done no such thing to my knowledge.
Rey will probably never be as embraced as Luke, Han, or Leia, and that is due to the way she was written, but also because the character has been embodied and defined by Daisy's performance.
I mean, let's be real. Here's a character who's so badly written that she's telling Han Solo, a man who was flying and working on the Millennium Falcon 30 years before she was born, how to fix it.
Rey is a character so badly written that despite not having any formal combat or Jedi training, she wins every single lightsabre battle she's in. And to add insult to injury, she never lost an appendage (i.e., hand or an arm) in combat like Luke or Anakin, who were trained combatants.
And why didn't Rey lose a hand or arm in her many lightsabre confrontations? Because she's a female, which is the same reason Daisy Ridley is getting sympathy from a certain number of people.
The truth of the matter is that Daisy is the face of the new generation of Star Wars, and therefore, the fans are going to direct a lot of their feelings about this new trilogy to her, it just comes with the territory.
She is being treated appropriately. The fans have done nothing wrong to her.
So agree.
@@coreyc5982 I'll be sure to keep you in my thoughts and prayers that God may bless you with an actual personality.
@alexbovenstein As I stated earlier, I'm not trying to start a flame war. Clearly, you didn't get the message.
So, if you don't have anything constructive to contribute, I'll just be ignoring you at this point.
@@coreyc5982 Thanks, honey. Star Wars sure is serious business that definitely requires the worldwide collaboration of smarties like you to unpack.
I love Daisy Ridley. She seems like such a genuinely beautiful person. I feel so sorry for her though. The selfishness of K.K., R.J. and J.J. and their stupid agenda have wasted her talent…and K.K. is about to waste it again.
If they in fact, make this movie, it will be the biggest box office bomb in movie history. Much, much worse than what happened to Solo.
I really wish that Daisy wouldn’t do this to herself, but I understand she may have already been under contract, where Lucasfilm has the right to exercise their option for more films.
Poor Daisy, I really hope this doesn’t harm her mentally and emotionally.😢
Despite the bad writing and the gutting of Star Wars...and the fact that Daisy knows that fans don't want this new Star Wars she has 12 million reasons to do the movie regardless.
Maybe the writing is good enough so that Daisy can do enough with the character that the end product is ok-ish ( I doubt it but who knows - the same producers not only made trash movies like ep 8 and 9 but also Rogue One so there's always the possibility of a miracle).
idk if selfish is the right word, at least with rian, incompetence fits better, he genuinely thought that tlj was a masterpiece, kk was definitely selfish tho, and jj clearly wasn’t even trying with ros 😂
All the hate has nothing to do with her.
She does such a great accent, she is from jersey in real life? Wow
She doesn't deserve an ounce of hate for those movies. It's all in the writing. She seems like a genuinely nice person who was excited to be a part of Star Wars.
I don't think anyone is or should be upset with her. She didn't write those awful scripts or completely change the direction of the narrative 3 times within the span of 3 movies. She showed up and did her job to the best of her ability and it's a shame that her character and talent were wasted on such terrible writing.
You clearly know nothing about writing or cinema. Yet you persist with your one-dimensionsal nonsense. It's getting old.
You clearly no nothing about writing or the cinema, for that matter.

I wonder if there's some kind of weird NDA she had to sign where she couldn't say anything bad (honest) about TROS, because her eyes are glued to the ceiling in this clip as she tries to think of things that aren't actively critical
She's very beautiful 🥰 ❤️ 😘 Love her 🥰❤️😘
Divisive... she means crap. She knows they were crap.
Love Daisy. Love the character. Frowned a bit at some of the writing for her part in all three, but what could we do?
she didn't deserve all the fan hate with episode IX or those "fans" talking about the mary sue thing all the time. Daisy was a newcomer, she debuted with Star Wars and played a beautiful role as a heroine for young girls to be inspired by. It's a shame that the sequel trilogy was so poorly handled, each film had a different idea so that in episode VIII Rey would be anyone and in episode IX she is Palpatine's granddaughter. That kiss was awful, yes, but the script is not her fault. I'm happy that she will return to the franchise!
She didn't get much fan hate to be fair, her underwritten and misdirected character did. Most people felt sorry for Daisy having to go along with this brutal vandalization of a beloved IP by Rian Johnson and then by JJ's absolute middle finger of a final instalment.
@noyoo123 fans gave her a lot of hate too. I'm guessing you didn't see it since you weren't doing it, but there was a ton of it.
Rian did a much better job than JJ, and Rian actually made one of the most "star warsy" Star Wars movie that ever "star wared". It's just Rian packed too much in and relied on people reading the book, which most didn't
@@Dynnen YES! Ep VIII is one of my favorites movies from the franchise, Rian wasn't afraid to be bold and bring something new to the saga since, let's face it, The Force Awakens played a lot on safety and nostalgia. The idea of Kylo killing Snoke and being the main villain and Rey being special but being a nobody, without a big related family, is how they should have followed it but then JJ came and changed everything in IX...
what are you saying? the mary sue argument is about rey’s character, not the actress that plays her
How do you create a multi million dollar franchise?
Put Kathleen Kennedy in charge of a multi billion dollar franchise.
can you really blame them? she produced and executive produced some of great movies like jurassic park, back to the future and so on, so with her resume, do you really think she would mess up star wars like that?
@@isimikehinde5584 she lied to George.
@@isimikehinde5584 she was just a coffee lady. Another problem is she's a feminist.

Her neck is high, I trust her.
Daisy was a delight in each movie. I wish the writing was better for her and the entire cast.
A part of me died when I watched The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. The Force Awakens was passable I thought it was good, even though it was a rehash of A New Hope and played it safe, and we never got the original cast in a scene together which was one of the biggest missed opportunities.
I was done after TFA tbh. That derailed the whole franchise and where it could go and what it all meant if you really analyse it. TLJ actually was 50/50 hit and miss for me. Like literally 50/50 hated one thing loved the next but was interested for where 1 or 2 parts of the story was going, I knew though it was never going to be good and had no faith especially when JJ was brought back and still have not been able to make it through the whole film and nor do I want to which is insane because I’ve literally seen every bit of visual media ever released under the Star Wars brand and have had read all the canon books and comics and a decent chunk of legends. I don’t know how they did it to make me disinterested in a product so much
@@protector_of_the_realmsI remember yelling NO at my point when they announced JJ was back on 9. Thinking correctly it wad huge mistake. Most of what happens in 7 was a waste of time, because it had already been told better in 4, and because it didn't progress the story at all.
Great actor. She was amazing and gave her all. She should have been "no one" and become a Master through her own path. Daisy is just awesome.
I never stopped liking her specifically. I like her as an actress, and I hated the "character" they made her play. The only reason I don't want a Rey movie is because I know there is no one under the employ of Disney that will do this character any justice.
Disney scares the actors into being veeeery careful with their words
Except Mark Hamill, who doesn't care. lol
She will never say goodbye to that amazing life with a real Jedi and Sith and her abba.
This is such a complex and difficult situation, especially for the cast. They were/are all SO talented, and gave great performances. But at the same time, they had to know as they were filming RoS that, at minimum, it was going to be controversial. Even when shooting things out of sequence, I imagine you get a feel for whether something makes sense or whether the writing is quality. I feel so bad for them, having to tour and promote a film that you know is probably not great.
They literally didn't now who is Rey while filming ep9, that's how writers took seriously sequel trilogy, they made s*it up as they went, and we saw how final product turned out...
I just don't understand. How could such a monumental franchise be treated so half-hazardly? We're talking billions.. you can afford to pay for talent.. actual, reliable, resourceful talent... and this is how it was treated? Something doesn't add up.
