Rumors on Daisy Ridley’s Costume and a New Alien Character.
Yesterday was fully packed with rumors so we decided to save some for today. Hit the jump to find out how Daisy Ridley’s character is going to look like in Episode VII as well as an interesting rumor about the Mon Calamari race…
Here’s the description of Ridley’s costume that was seen on a concept art image by one of MakingStarWars‘ sources:
Daisy Ridley’s costume:
The details are very general but the costume gives the idea that this character might be more comfortable in a seedy spaceport than at a gala event.
The artwork shows a slender brunette figure wearing clothing with a grey and brown palette. She wears a dark blue sash at the waist that hangs down at the back and one side at about thigh level. Her shirt arms have a few utilitarian looking straps attached and it covers both midriff and chest completely. She may wear gloves and have “star wars” type wraps on the forearms.
She wears a few pouches and belts.
A lightsaber is clasped in her hand…
Next JediNews has a very curious rumor:
The beloved Mon Calamari of the planet Dac will be gracing our screens in Episode VII and not just in a background role. Just like their appearance in Return of the Jedi, at least one Mon Cal will be front and centre in a leading character role.

I’m definitely going to fall in love with her character. I can see it already.
Jaina?
Who?
what what could andy serkis be a mon calamari? or would they use masks?
Of COURSE they’re going to use masks. They’re against CG now, remember?
It would be kind of stupid to use cgi for a character like that
i hope new stoorm troopers get into fights with lobster guys
If she is the offspring of Han/Leia it will be interesting to see what way they go with her personality? Mixing Han/Leia together will make one tough, sarcastic, independent Jedi!
Until a random character development scene makes things the opposite. Depends on the scene though.
I wonder what the OT fanboy reaction is going to be about the Ridley costume… On one hand, they’ve got their McQuarrie obsession fulfilled, and yet… she is completely covered, so their hormonal, post-80s adolescent Leia-in-a-thong obsession is not fulfilled.
They will cling to the hope that we will see Daisy in chains (and little else) by the third movie.
Episode IX: Revenge of the Hutts. (Alternatively: “Return of the Metal Bikini” or “The Boobs Bounce Back”.)
I don’t wonder what pt fanboys are thinking because anyone who favors the pt to the ot is obviously a moron, so who cares what they think.
Oh yeah lets waste this beautiful leia lookalike face and make her a mon calamari!
NOT i dont think so 🙂
Do yourself a favor: read the article carefully before posting. Nobody’s saying that Ridley will be portraying a Mon Calamari.
A mon calamari in a leading role? I doubt that very much. But I am imagining a little thing with admiral ackbar and mon mothma again. Providing Caroline Blakiston wants to come back, and also Erik Bauersfeld, or a good admiral ackbar voice impersonator. Even if it’s just for 0.3 seconds. Or mon mothma just comes into frame randomly and says “many bothans dies to bring us this information” and then you hear Admiral Ackbar shout “it’s a trap!” in the background. Make it happen JJ.
A Mon Calamari with a role? I smell a Jar Jar-like Character…but this time it will work?
If he yells it’s a trap they will need to clean my theater seat after the movie!!!!
The article that I read goes further by saying it is Admiral Ackbar himself and that they constructed a head identical to the ROTJ character.
I wonder if Ackbar will die in the opening battle to show the tide turn.
Yeah, it was a trap.
I know the Legends won’t be used(as what we know) but Admiral Gar Stazi, from the Legacy Era, was one of the best Admirals I’ve ever seen in any Star Wars projects. Would be a great idea if they use him in the films.
Of all the cool races in Star Wars they went with one of the silliest. Why not choose something more interesting like, say, an aged Max Rebo who lives aboard the Falcon supplying the music (for some reason there’s no radio onboard).
NO.
Really? Wouldn’t you rather have Max Rebo jazzing about in the Falcon, with one stunted blue arm holding a headset constantly to one floppy blue ear, jigging with it so to speak, instead of Grand Admiral Seafood?! :p
I don’t care about the fish alien.
You must be born in the 90s or later.
It’s a trap
I hope Admiral Ackbar slaps someone with his fin and says as he rubs his elongated fish head, I gotta quit drinking or retire, its getting too old for this fish.
Im exited to see the Mon Calamari again since they are my 2nd favorite species (wookiees are my favorite) and I loved them in “Star Wars The Clone Wars” hopefully Admiral Ackbar is still alive.:D
