]]>Ridley was introduced as scavenger-turned-Jedi Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as a part of the franchise’s young cast which also included Adam Driver, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac. She reprised this role in The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, but we haven’t seen her play Rey ever since the sequel trilogy concluded.
Ridley finally confirmed her return during a surprise appearance at the Star Wars Celebration in London. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will direct the first new film starring Ridley, while Dave Filoni and James Mangold are on board to helm the next two.
Ridley said she’s “very thrilled to be continuing this journey”, and her return doesn’t come as a huge shocker. Back in February, she discussed her Star Wars future with The Hollywood Reporter and said she would be open to the idea of playing Ray again.
“Ultimately, I loved my experience, I loved what I got to do and I love the people I got to work with. So, should that happen again, even once, amazing. Because the dream is to really be around nice people that make you feel good and feel heard while you do good work,” explained Ridley.

]]>The women of Hollywood made history this year as the most popular films of 2017 in North America featured female leads.
Topping at number one was the latest installment of the Star Wars franchise Star Wars: The Last Jedi with whopping $533.1 million at the box office. The second largest grossing film was Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast and closing the top three was DC Comics’ Wonder Woman with $504 and 412.6 million respectively.
According to box-office, female led films were top three was back in 1958 with South Pacific, Auntie Mame, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
The Last Jedi was dubbed the most feminist of the Star Wars franchise yet, with strong female roles including trainee Jedi Rey (Daisy Ridley) and the late Carrie Fisher in her final performance as Princess made General, Leia.
The live-action remake of the 1991 Disney hit starred Emma Watson as Bell. While a Disney princess, she takes charge of her destiny and refuses to conform to social dictates and in essence turning a beast into a love stricken puppy.
Finally, Wonder Woman doubly succeeded as a female-led film. Starring newcomer Gal Gadot who portrayed a role model heroine, Wonder Woman is also the highest-grossing live-action movie ever directed by a woman, Patty Jenkins.
Hopefully powerful portrayals of female characters isn’t a fleeting moment but rather a new Hollywood zeitgeist.
