The actress who was in charge of giving life to Rey in the last Star Wars trilogy, Daisy Ridley, has revealed what think about the end of his character in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

As the GamesRadar medium points out, Daisy Ridley has told in an interview with Rolling Stone what do you really think of the end of your character. Let’s remember that Rey ends up in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker wielding a yellow lightsaber and taking the last name Skywalker.

As Ridley explains, the fact that Rey is a descendant of Emperor Palpatine, It doesn’t make her a villain, but she can be whatever she wants to be..

“NOT A WORD [Abrams] was the one who said: ‘She belongs to nobody’, so this message is not present only in The Last Jedi. What was ultimately interesting to me is that you can be a hero and not come from anywhere or you can be a hero and come from literally the worst person in the universe“explains the actress.

While further explaining this topic, Ridley comes to clarify that she had no power over the fate that awaited Rey: “It is not your parents, it is not your grandparents, it is not your lineage and it is not the previous generations that define you. When this decision was communicated to me, I thought it was okay, but deciding on this is beyond my salary level“.

I just say the words of my script and do things. I love the version that you can be whoever you want to be, but I also love the version where you can rectify mistakes and you can’t help what you were born into.”
