Daisy Ridley's portrayal of Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens was one of the key positives of J.J. Abrams' movie, which many consider a much needed return to form. This was the first part of the planned trilogy, where the upcoming The Last Jedi is the second act. That leaves just the final chapter of the trilogy, and after that, we sadly won't be seeing anymore of Rey.
Despite rumours that Disney might extend the saga to keep the popular actors on for longer, that won't apply to Daisy Ridley, as she is set to leave Star Wars behind after Episode IX.
In an interview with Rolling Stone she was asked whether she could be persuaded to stay on for longer, but she replied:
"No...For me, I didn't really know what I was signing on to. I hadn't read the script, but from what I could tell, it was really nice people involved, so I was just like, 'Awesome.' Now I think I am even luckier than I knew then, to be part of something that feels so like coming home now. I am really, really excited to do the third thing and round it out, because ultimately, what I was signing on to was three films. So in my head, it's three films. I think it will feel like the right time to round it out."
Of course, this could just be Ridley gearing up for what could be a costly deal extension for Disney...
