Daisy Ridley done with Star Wars after final film in trilogy

Written by . Published: November 30 2017

Daisy Ridley is walking away from the Star Wars franchise following the last film in the current trilogy.


The actress first appeared as Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and she reprised the character for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which will hit theaters in December (17).

The Brit will also star in 2019's Star Wars: Episode IX, which she insists will be her last trip to a galaxy far, far away.

"For me, I didn't really know what I was signing on to," she tells Rolling Stone magazine. "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."

"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," she adds. "So in my head, it's three films. I think it will feel like the right time to round it out."
