The Rise of Skywalker
@@user-us5zn2df6p😂
The Rise of Skywalker
The Force Awakens
The trilogy, and then "Chaos Walking", for those leather trousers.
There’s a reason John Williams has said he made Rey’s Theme for Daisy Ridley after getting to know her. She is like sunshine incarnate.
Lets wait and see, we might hear it again one day in cinema.
Probably his best theme cue in the last twenty years too.
She really is something else.
Unfortunately, that theme is the most boring and forgetful piece in the entire Star Wars theme music canon.
Wrong.@@conorfurlong
Adam Driver was 10000% correct saying he could listen to Daisy speak all day. So, so excited for all her projects. She deserves nothing but success!!
Daisy Ridley is brilliant, no one can take that away from her
You mean despite of Disney star wars?
"It's upsetting because you don't want people to feel you've not served the thing that they're a fan of." (28:02) That's such a lovely sentiment. However, I sincerely feel that Daisy did a truly amazing job of serving the fans. The thing that let it all down was the writing and direction. Daisy was great!
Also, feeling exactly the same about Gary Oldman's comments on Sirius.
Gary Oldman was directed by Kuaron in the 3d movie and he was great there. In the 5th,it was that first time filmmaker that somehow was let to make all the rest movies,thus absolutely obliterating the quality of movies. I mean, the actors look in the wrong directions, absolutely bad misanscene. Just pure amateur mistakes, unforgivable for such a big IP as Harry Potter.
Daisy is such a "ray" of sunshine. I love her. 🤩
She has the most amazing smile! 😍
This woman is literally pure sunshine! Daisy Ridley is so incredibly talented. As a die hard Star Wars fan, I'm so stoked for her to reprise her role as Rey.
I hope Daisy realizes that there are so so so many of us who adore both her and Rey and absolutely love the Sequel Trilogy. Rey means everything to me and I'm so excited to have her back in the new film 💛
I personally am utterly immune to what I call the 'bandwagon/sheep mentality hate' around Star Wars, I LOVE the sequels, and I CANNOT WAIT for the return of Rey and the Jedi new order.
She's a very charismatic individual and seems like a talented performer, hope she gets bigger gigs outside of Star Wars!
I wouldn't mind seeing her play a comic book character, but that seems unlikely to happen at this time.?
We all need a break from comic book characters 😂
Big action blockbusters and comic superheroes are not necessarily better than anything else. Mark Ruffalo's best work are smaller films and independent features, NOT the MCU.
Only if it's an anti-hero or villain. I already know what to expect if she plays a hero, and it's Rey but with different powers and more quipping. That's not a knock against Daisy, it's a knock against modern writing of female heroes.
I liked her in Murder on the Orient Express~
So glad she's coming back to Star Wars!!! Very excited to see where Rey's story goes.
Actually, my favorite SW movie is SW7. I honestly do not understand why some people hate it. And Daisy is so good in it!
I mainly dislike it because that "homage" was basically just a shallow copy of EP4 missing a lot of relevant backstory. Tons of morons lost their shit because OMG girl in lead role but fuck that bullshit.
I love the sequels, i like them more then the prequels
Daysi Ridley smile 🥰
I really appreciate Daisy. Star Wars really stepped on her personality as an actress. Never had an issue with the cast, just the plot.
Finally, a normal conversation! You guys are indeed real people. Thank god.
She’s freaking beautiful 🤩
I do love Force Awakens but I love her performance in Only Yesterday as well.
Daisy seems such a lovely person and you can tell how proud she is to be part of SW. I hope she returns to future films. I wanted to see her with the Darth Maul sabre. That was super cool. Suits her style because she carries a staff in the first film. A good Jedi twin sabre wheelder. Vovovovooo! 💙😁💙
Josh what a great discussion this was. Fantastic job! You can tell how at ease Daisy was. She's just got the best attitude! I am excited to see Sometimes I Think About Dying and for her return as Rey. Although I didn't love every single SW sequel, I never once felt like Daisy wasn't giving it her all. Her enthusiasm in The Force Awakens is what made that movie for me.
Loved the marsh king’s daughter, looking forward to all the Daisy projects 😁
I feel so bad for Daisy in the sense that she was a great Rey, but the producers and writers failed her. I really hope that the return is actually good and not similar to what the trilogy was. If they can spin it the right way, it could be a really great comeback, and I cant wait to see her in other projects. I really loved her in Chaos Walking
^ I agree. I didn’t hate the movies, I’m a Star Wars fan through and through and I’ll watch whatever comes out. But LORD they need to get Dave Filoni on the next movies because he will do everyone justice
This channel deserves more subscribers. Josh is giving us some of the best conversations in the industry. Keep up the hard work dude! We appreciate you!
She is amazing, I hope we can see her on a romcom someday
Great interview! Daisy is so sweet!
Wonderful interview.
Daisy Ridley is a goddess she's painfully gorgeous man that smile and those eyes
Love Daisy! Always enjoy your interviews with her Josh. Great episode 😊
Daisy Ridley, you definitely deserve better than ever. I truly mean that.
Great interview- she’s obviously a lovely person. Very honest and interesting and interested in stuff. Good job. 👏👏
My fav Daisy film? the Force Awakens is still my favorite. Happy to hear what she has been up to. More than I knew.
I wish she read books for amazon i would listen to any story she reads
This is such a fun interview!! Thanks, Daisy and Josh❤
I'm thrilled Daisy is returning, and it's cool to hear more backstory about that awesome kiss in Rise of Skywalker (although it's even more tragic to hear how hastily they decided to film her reacting to his death,). I am unconvinced of Sharmeen, however, and I hope I'm dead wrong. I guess we'll see.
But give her a coherent story this time. No more Palpatine bullshit
I wish all interviewers could be this intelligent and heartfelt toward actors. Such a great interview and so happy to hear more about "the kiss." 😉😘
You're killing it with the videos lately Josh, between the Watch-alongs and the interviews, just great high quality stuff!
Thank you happy sad and confused for sharing this special moment with us.
I had no idea Daisy was such a charming person wow
Also had no idea how beautiful she is
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, but the script is not her fault. I'm happy that she will return to the franchise!
It is a shame that Daisy, and the minority actors, took all the flack for Disneys bad decisions. I love Daisy, bit felt Rey was poorly written and developed
Looking forward to her next movie, and Star Wars movie!
I’ve been waiting for this for like 5 years
With respect, I would rather watch Daisy Ridley in anything else than a Star Wars film. She’s a great actress.
Speak for yourself, I loved her in Star Wars, she was incredible 🔥
@@catattac9975I was speaking for myself. Also, the Sequel Trilogy doesn't tell a cohesive story. Again, speaking for myself, but as great as Daisy Ridley was in those films, I don't find them entertaining anymore because nothing connects within the films. Just my opinion.
An hour interview, and this is your takeaway? Grow up already. 🙄
@@PhantomRX I’m pretty sure everyone has a different takeaway from interviews. I’m apparently more grown up than you. 🤦🏻♂️
Daisy had 0 charisma or personality in the sequels, clearly not her fault but the trash directors
Awwr she is always looking to the heavens when she has to think. That is adorable and sweet. I do that all the time too. 🙄😁 What a lovely charming Lady. No wonder she was cast as Rey. She was pretty tough though too. Finn found that out fast. 🤨🫨
48:43
- That was, hmm...humbling.
- Awww.
Daisy's smile, Josh's voice tone making this moment extra cute.
She's such a lovely soul.
I really enjoyed watching this it’s great to see what Daisy is up to with her films and everything
Many thanks to Josh and Daisy! 🎙 Since you asked, Josh, after seeing her in the sequel trilogy, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS (2017), OPHELIA (2018), PETER RABBIT (2018) and CHAOS WALKING (2021)... and while I love her bits in all of them, I love THE LAST JEDI (2017) the most. I'm very excited about her upcoming projects including new STAR WARS stuff, of course. ✨
This new movie of hers looks good. Her charisma was one of the saving graces in those Star Wars movies, I hope they give this new story some time to breath so the haters lose interest and the generation that grew up with her can grow a bit with the character.
Daisy Ridley my favorite British person
Even though I have my Problems with the Sequels, I love that it brought us all these wonderful Actors, and People hating on them because they dont like the script is just stupid and Wrong. I really hope that the new movies will do to the Sequels for me, what The Clone Wars did for a lot of Peoples Opinion about the Prequels.
She's a great actress.
What a beautiful woman!
love dais sm
Well I am so glad Daisy said the kiss was earnt, because it was! The whole relationship between Kylo/Ben and Rey was the best thing of the sequel trilogy. Plus all the Ben Solo moments in episode 9 were the best. The kiss scene was beautiful! ❤ I really hope they can bring Ben Solo back in the new movie. He is the most popular character and Adam does such an awesome job! 😊 Plus the chemistry between Daisy and Adam is spectacular!
I agree!! I actually really loved the sequels, more than the prequels. Daisy and adam were amazing in the movies, i really don't get all the hate the sequels get.
She’s so beautiful bro
Im glad she is working and producing also as well. Hopefully she starts directing.
Edit Never mind. She was in the states promoting last week! Had to do some digging
I am so glad Daisy said the kissing scene felt earned because it totally was! At that moment Kylo was Ben and he had no doubt to give his life for her.. She always believed Ben could come back. I know amAdam said he won’t return but I have hope at some point he will. They are a dyad in the force which is extremely rare so they might be a possibility he could resurrect. Fingers crossed! That would be spectacular!❤🙏
I hope they bring her back
cottage cheese is great. eating some right now on my lunch
I've been waiting for more than a year to see sometimes I think about dying. it's out on digital in March, I can't wait any longer tbf.
Daisy has the best smile in the galaxy!
Thank you so much Josh, God, I love Daisy Ridley, I don't care what some people said at the time about Star Wars... I think she was the best thing I those movies. By the way I've seen those movies many times now, I understand everything, I thing they are really worthy movies, especially 1 and 3. Great job Josh . Love u Daisy. Also lover her in Murder on the Orient Express, and Ophelia.
A very geeky & rambling commenter here! While I strongly dislike Jedi & Rise & am only somewhat alright with Awakens, I don't blame any of the actors. Daisy is an absolute ball of sunshine & she, along with every other actor, just works with what is given to them. If I'm not mistaken & please correct me if I'm wrong, even JJ said it was a mistake not having at least an idea of what the overall arching story would be throughout the trilogy (not sure why that wasn't a thing to begin with). While I can't personally in good faith consider the sequels canon (Look what they've done to my boy, Luke!), I'm very happy for Daisy & I'm glad she's able to block out the noise & just have fun. I do believe there is some responsibility to be true to what's come before & what Star Wars is for most people but that does not solely fall on the actors. That weight should burden the shoulders of the writers & directors far more. For me personally, though, I would GEEK OUT & make sure that whatever Star Wars movie I'm in, I'd aggressively deep dive into Star Wars lore & make sure there is nothing but love & dedication going into the movie. I'd have Sam Witwer as my teacher & overall advisor on set. All that said, if you enjoy those movies, more power to you. I have nothing against people who enjoy them. Slight judgment maybe but I'm not going to rain on your parade. This comment was to vent my frustrations of the Sequels but also defend all the actors involved. Heck even defend any writers & directors who got hate, not criticism but hate. That vile isn't acceptable. Like what messages have you even been taking from Star Wars!? I'm pretty sure a big part of Star Wars is not giving into your hate & anger. I'll admit that can seep through sometimes but you just gotta remember to check yourself & to pull yourself back. Anywho, just a fan of Star Wars & Daisy looking out for both. Cheers if you read my silly little comment. 🙃
❤
Do you have to flyout to Europe for this? Or did Daisy come to NA?
It says a lot that she had to think hard about returning to Star Wars and it wasn’t an immediate yes, even though it was clearly gonna be a big payday for her.
Please, Daisy don't off yourself! Your life is too precious to throw away!
Daisy 🥹🫂
I really hope they bring Ray back to star wars
“Prepare your ears, humans!”
-Person who was interviewed on this very video
12:06 sounds like me
Why isn't this girl in more movies? I'd rather watch her in other projects, Disney has no idea what they're doing with the Star Wars IP...
Looking back on the original trilogy, wasn't Harrison Ford the only one who managed to get other projects afterwards? I think there might be something similar going on here.
After all, we still see Mark Hamill "just as Luke" (or hear him as THE Joker) and Carrie Fisher as Leia.
@@dubm0quite. But smaller projects, say A24's, would win from casting her, but either she wants to be in big projects, or they dont cast her even in smaller flicks.
Did you not watch and listen to this video?
She's not a very good actress in general and she's very picky too. Whatever role she took it wasn't a smash hit in the box office after Star Wars. The movies were too small, cheesy and introspective. Not everyone wants to think too deeply on films about depression and mundane life. I think she's reprising her role as Rey for the next Star Wars cuz she needs money so she can keep making these small complicated films about the mundane.
I feel for Daisy a great deal after the public response to the sequels. I, after the rise of Skywalker release, actively dislike them, but not her part in them. She's great! I love her as well as her character. The narrative decisions in the sequels are not her fault and her getting hated because of them really sucks. They hung all the actors out to dry and it only feels right to support all her projects going forward.
4:46 I didn’t know Daisy Ridley was in Matilda.
Daisy rules! PS the Rise of Skywalker was great!
Episode 9 was the best movie of the trilogy easily
Isn't episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker?
@@itcouldbelupus2842 Yes
@@jackbrodie7147 most people think it's the worst one
@@itcouldbelupus2842 Well, I thought the general consensus is that the Last Jedi is the worst, but who care anyway. It is subjective.
Rule of thumb of any series, be it dilogy or trilogy or whatever, the final movie must make the whole series one conclusive story/bring a closure to the story and still be a movie of its own. Dont see how can anyone can call RoS either of those. Besides, it has intrinsacly bad script. It was a non-story, merely a reactionary to the previous 2 movie. And the sequel trilogy at the end of the day became a bad remake of the OG trilogy...with Palpatine bloodline winning at the end. And this is coming from a non-fan, just a casual viewer.
It's so obvious now in podcasting to delineate between a genuine conversation and something that's nothing more than media trained talking points.
45:18
Omg make her a red head and cast her as Lily!!!
Or do some cameos with Ray with star wars
the movies are better in retrospect. There was a lot of initial shock because anticipation was so high, but I've realized kylo renn was sort of like khan from star trek into darkness which is a movie I really liked. I don't know if JJ deliberately modelled him after the character or if it was more subconscious, 30:54 the issue with the rise of sky walker was just that it ended up feeling like a video game. It felt uncanny nothing felt real. In some ways it was the most star wars of them, but in other ways there was just too much going on. Things didn't quite hit a proper pay off. It would have been a better story if Kylo wasn't defeated until the last movie. He needed to be that unbeatable force that Rey trained to defeat and finally does in the last film. Maybe Kylo Ren shouldn't have been redeemed. Maybe he should have just gone out as a villain. Just kept getting worse, after killing han in the first one, he defeats luke in the second, and then in the last one he dies in a fight with rey. We got what we got though, and it's all subjective at the end of the day.
Oh gosh, Into Darkness was terrible :-)
I think many haters and lovers of Sequels tend to forget it is just subjective as you say :-) I do not like sequels, but so what? who cares? I also do not like Rogue One and was pleasantly surprised by the Solo movie. Now, we can hope, that the new Rey movie is at least a bit good and not another disaster :-)
I have some fairly unflattering opinions of TLJ and TRoS, but never in a million years would I spew vitriol at Daisy Ridley (or any of the other cast and creators) and I wish her nothing, but the best and success going forward for her, she really does seem like a wonderful person.
I thought that Daisy was wonderful as Rey in the Star Wars sequels. Everyone should remember how excited we were around the time of the Force Awakens.
I still wish she was Jaina Solo. It was all right there!
Well, I love cottage cheese...
This gal is the lead role in most expensive movie ever made in history (almost 700 million dollars (star wars 2015)
I don't believe you...what the fuck!!!
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens has become the most expensive movie ever made with a total budget of $533.2 million (£446.3 million) according to recent filings."
And she still struggles with being cast. Seems like a curse of Star Wars, since the lead actors of the original trilogy also didnt remain as big in the coming years.
@@dubm0i read that too. And the next two's budget were also overblown. The return looks less and less likely.
@@CATDHD dont underestimate cringe nerds power to ruin film reputation. these films are ok btw
"They Ruin My - insert franchise - Star wars\Alien\last of us" - its not yours you piece of s..it
Star Wars fans should back off negative comments towards Daisy & Rey's character. Just because the writers and Disney took the character a certain direction doesn't reflect on how great a job Daisy has done with Rey. She is the reason I like the character Rey. I welcome her coming back and as she said if she didn't like the direction this time, she wouldn't be doing it. So I trust her decision and look forward to the next film.
For me, the sequels are J. J.’s VII and IX. That’s all.
Nts 43:46 45:01 45:42
Really supporting Daisy Ridley's transformation into Olivia Coleman
I don’t want to sound so/too negative, BUT, thus far, she’s no Olivia. Have you seen Tyrannosaur?
@@jimashley754 I just meant she physically looks a bit like her here
Ok.
But you didn’t ask her the important Star Wars question. . ..
When is Rey going to the World Between Worlds to rescue Ben Solo...?
COME ON!
R+B=♥️
Daisy is the sweetest soul.
Love her endlessly.
Can you ask her how much was cut out of THE RISE OF SKYWALKER and reshot for me please?
A comment to my own by grayfox below to this> They still don't get it, traditionally star wars lead roles for hero protagonists are men not women meaning story-lines are different...mannerisms, charisma, masculinity, femininity...they create their own stereotypes that people relate-to or don't. Meaning cinematography also changes the panoramic view and the surround sounds people expect from star wars as gender changes everything. Even if you use exotic locations and nostalgic actors and music, the end result will always be the same...disappointment! For human beings are not enlighten but impulsive on there emotions insecurities or a lack of?
@N313GrayFox> What a wierd comment. You're literallly saying human beings aren't elightened, and that's why we resort to stereotypes...so maybe we should just be enlightened then?
My Reply> This guy proves my point!
Who should also use a spell checker...lol?
🥱
I probably will get roasted but I actually loved Force awaken, the last jedi, and the rise of skywalker. I don't think Disney could of wrote anything that would of pleased the star wars fan base. There is obviously some Trauma with Phantom Menace so they are triggered. Kidding a side having the beautiful Daisy come back and actually have a store instead of a transition story line.
If you are not a bot, i will say that surely the production of the series reaching $1,5 bln cannot not look outstanding. And, btw, J. J. Abrams also felt the way you said - being as far from the prequel trilogy.
The marketing was also quite a big for every movie, so blaming some trauma when a big chunk of viewership laid on teenagers that probably havent seen the prequels nullifies your little hypothesis about traume clouding the assessment. Besides, the trilogy was a bad remake of the OG, thats a no no for fans, since one of the core things about Star Wars was that every installment offered something new, a different mix of genres. Thats why marvel had a success in 2010s.
I love the Sequel Trilogy and Rey Skywalker, so I hope they find an interesting story and good villains. Away from the Skywalker Saga.
Rise of Skywalker was not divisive. Its got a 86% audience score on rotten tomatoes!!
It's divisive, rotten tomatoes audience score might be the most useless and unreliable stat in existence and not an accurate representation of quality or reception.
The film was soulless nostalgia bait, complete and utter crap, a wet fart of an end to the trilogy.
You do know that those reviews are fake right? Rotten Tomatoes is completely useless at this point.
RT became unreliable quite some time ago. The biggest IP in the history of storytelling with presidential campaign level of marketing budget barely reaching a billion, with the real budget going over what official number claims ($300mln) by a considerable margin makes it almost a flop financially. The cultural value after 4 years is self explanatory.
@@itcouldbelupus2842
Lol. So what is the barometer then? A few people shouting on twitter. What is the basis in fact that this film was divisive???? Note TLJ audience score is very low and that was divisive.
@@CATDHD Um, that's not remotely "a flop". By that logic, Rogue One was also a flop since its numbers are virtually identical.
Also, Rottentomatoes doesn't mean shit; the film was/is divisive just like The Last Jedi, although I think there's more strong hate toward TLJ overall.
Last Jedi is the 3rd best Star Wars film
Daisy is just so nice but what is this about tasmania getting nuked?!
Love Rey as a character, love Daisy as an actress. But, by no fault of her own, I am desperate for Disney to let go of the Skywalkers and move to a different era, at least for a bit. Plus, Disney has been so hit or miss recently. I think they need to really take a step back and re-align their priorities before they force Daisy into another kinda weird/medium movie.
So true
Rey Skywalker has great pair of legs in black nylons. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💯
