D23-trailern till den nya Star Wars-episoden The Rise of Skywalker startade en hel del spekulationer när det väl offentliggjordes igår, i synnerhet det korta klippet där vi får se Darth Rey med dubbla lasersvärd. Nu har stjärnan Daisy Ridley kommenterat saken i en intervju med Cinemablend:
"I went to Bad Robot yesterday and I was like, 'Hey, can I see the teaser'? They were like, 'Yeah, yeah.' No warning. And I watch, and went [inhales deeply] 'Oh my god, are you really putting that in there?' That was my reaction. And then watching it today, it was weird because I felt nervous with it coming because I knew it was going to be. And then hearing the audience reaction was amazing."
I en annan intervju med Cinemablend kommenterade hon Palpatines roll:
"He's the biggest baddie in Star Wars history. Now that we've done the story, I'm like, it couldn't have happened any other way. It had to be that. But he's very instrumental to the plot of the film. It's not just like he appears again; it's all explained."
I en intervju med IGN tillade hon följande om Reys resa:
"I think that it should hopefully show people that we did a big old journey and we explored some things. So just you wait until the film."
En saftig twist? En tydlig fake-out? Som något hämtat från en fanfilm?
