Star Wars film, saying it’s “not what I expected”.Back in April, fans at Star Wars Celebration were given a major surprise when it was announced that Ridley would be reprising the role of Rey in a brand-new movie set after the events of The Rise Of Skywalker.In a new interview with Collider, Ridley discussed her surprise appearance at SWC and also revealed that she already knows the film’s plot.The actress explained that, while she was promoting her film Sometimes I Think About Dying at the Sundance Film Festival in February, she had not yet been approached by LucasFilm and Disney about a return to Star Wars.“I was asked something when I was there and strangely, people were asking me stuff and I was like,’No, I’m not doing another one.’ Then it all happened after I came back. It was such a nice reception,” she said.“I was shitting myself before I went on stage, because no one knew I was going to that. No one knew I was going to Celebration, bar like Kathy [Kennedy] and there were a couple of people.
