New Daisy Ridley Interview
In an interview with the German YouTube channel Movie Maniacs, Daisy Ridley briefly discussed what it was like piloting the Falcon, working with John Boyega, and how she trained for the role.

coooool she looks very different in this
I know. Her eyebrows got way thicker. Did she shave them for an other movie role or something?
Yeah, it’s the brows.
Is it bad that I already love both Rey and Ms. Ridley and I haven’t even seen the film? She just has so much charisma!
I don’t blame you both her and boyega have great charisma and just seem like cool people, they are sure to become big stars
That’s what fandom is all about, right? 😉
beautiful
She will nail it imo. It’s also good that she gets along with Boyega, it’s really fundamental if you want to sell their relationship on-screen. I just hope all this doesn’t get in her head and she becomes a new Emma Watson or something, that would be horrible. Thankfully she is older than her but still, it’s Star Wars, you can get much bigger than that….
yeah emma watson is very delusional now but it is funny you say cos she is doing a film with tom hanks and boyega called the circle which will be released in 2016
Really? Hope it doesn’t sink, Emma ruins pretty much everything she touches, lol, poor John, poor Tom. Honestly I saw her in Noah or something, she was so bad I was on the side of the cataclysm killing everyone.
Agreed.
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Emma’s a fantastic person.
I’m going to guess that these people are going off of Emma’s previous comments, etc. Maybe she said something offensive or snooty.
She’s only a UN Ambassador for Women (#HeforShe). I guess that’s so offensive.
I maintain the right to publicly express my negative opinion on people who chose to have a wider public life like actors or politicans, it comes with the job you know 😉
You have not seen the movie and you are ready to hand out oscars. Bring your hype level down
A phsyical impossibility and secondly I am not handing out oscars, no that’s for the pathetic people who are not Force sensitive. I hand out Force Hype and now I am sorry but I must meddle with your brain via Force Persuade and convince you of the validity of my statement 😀
She will nail it imo. It’s also good that she gets along with Boyega it’s really important for them to have a good working relationship and friendship as it helps them sell their characters’ bond much easier. Also I hope she doesn’t grow to become a new Emma Watson, that would be horrible, because all this fame can get to you. Thankfully she is older than Emma and much more earth-grounded and humbled like John so I am not particularly worried. Still, it’s Star Wars, you can’t get much bigger than that….
Is it me or Daisy always looks different? Even in the trailers she looks different in the shots. Not saying it’s a bad thing. But I guess that may work for her in her future acting career…
She looks like she may have gained like 2 kilos or something, she must have trained really hard to keep a scarvenger look. Boyega himself said that she can lift like 40 pound on each hand or something….
Yes totally! I feel the same about her. She’s one of these persons who always look different… I don’t know how to describe it.
For sure. I really noticed it on one of the early TV spots when we see her in the forest look up into the sky with all The First Order ships overhead about to attack Maz’s castle. At first I thought it was a different actress.
Wow you nailed it. Every photo shoot, every interview. I still dont have a set image in my mind for her. I mean they all look good, she is so pretty, but her look is fluid. Strange but also unique. Im sure after the movie I will only be able to see her as Rey (which will be fine with me!)
Shes beautiful no doubt, but when she smiles she has a jerk face lol
She´s sooooooo beautiful…..I´m soooooo in love with her ……and her voice……aaaaaaahhh….
My mama always said…
If you’ve got nothing good to say, say nothing at all. Something more people should practice.
Reading these comments, I was about to comment, but I shall practice restraint.
Thanks for posting this. Love this site. I would miss all this stuff otherwise. I think Daisy is going to be a HUGE star. So pretty, and obviously immensely talented.
Das erwachen Der macht, is the translated into the awakening of the force?
Yes it’s the german title of The Force Awakens. It should normally translate as “Die Macht erwacht” but since it rhymes, they chose Das Erwachen der Macht.
She has the biggest smile I ever seen. Her dentist have my respect.
Still trying to find out why she winds up piloting the Falcon in the first place. Obviously Han/Chewie are still around by the time they get to Takodana as well as Starkiller and it seems really weird that he’d let a complete stranger pilot his ship unless he knows her already somehow, he got shipjacked and it wound up on Jakku between episodes, or he told her to when they were on the ground in order to rescue them. Or maybe she’s the shipjacker herself.
I mean only Lando has piloted it on screen other than Han which I can see since he was the former owner, So it’s a big deal to let her take the controls like that assuming he’s still alive when she does (which seems like he is) unless she does it by force or save his life.
Watch the movie.
I’d be very surprised if anyone not coming to this site already is completely spoiled before they actually see the film.
Yeah, It doesn’t make sense why he’d just abandon it there or sell it. Unless they gave it to her to repair?
You have to remember there is a 30 years gap between the movies. Alot things would have happened .
The Falcon is basically like his kid though, I can’t see him just ditching it somewhere for three decades.
I used to think i was when they land on the Resistance base on Takodana but it seems like they’d be in the cockpit if they were. I also hope we get to see more parts of the Falcon too.
There´s been an awakening… inside my pants.
