Daisy Ridley filmed one scene for “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” that she can’t wait for the rest of the world to see.
What happened: Ridley said the new film has a scene that was so powerful that the cast and crew reacted to it — even without any score or editing behind it.
- “There was a scene that touched me a lot,” she reportedly told AdoroCinema. “It was our last day shooting in Jordan and the natural light was fading. And it was so exciting. It was just a short scene, we filmed very fast, but the crew was shaken in a way I had not seen before. And I thought, ‘My God, if this is people’s immediate reaction when the scene isn’t even ready, imagine what it will be like to see it in the movies, with the John Williams soundtrack and all that.”
Dark Rey: Ridley also described the epic scene from the D23 Expo trailer, which showed Rey with a double-bladed red lightsaber, according to ComicBook.com.
- “That scene was filmed in England in November,” she said. “There were huge water cannons and it was really, really cold. Everybody literally soaked. It was hard, but it was also amazing because the scene caught the immediacy of the reaction.”
