Daisy Ridley says “there’s more to the story” of Rey’s parents in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

November 21, 2019 by Samuel Brace

Daisy Ridley, one of the stars of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, says that Rey isn’t satisfied with what Kylo Ren told her about her parents.

One of the first questions people had after Star Wars: The Force Awakens was about who Rey’s parents were. Then, in The Last Jedi, Kylo Ren told Rey that her parents were nobodies and it didn’t matter.

It turns out in Episode IX, Rey isn’t satisfied with this answer. Daisy Ridley told EW: “The parents thing is not satisfied – for her and the audience.”

She also went on to say: “It’s not that she doesn’t believe it, but she feels there’s more to the story. And she needs to figure out what’s come before so she can figure out what to do next…”

So perhaps, a big part of the next movie will revolve around Rey getting to the bottom of her parentage, suggesting Kylo’s words in Episode VIII were not to be taken at face value after all…

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is set for release on December 19th 2019 in the UK and December 20th 2019 in North America. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker sees J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) directing a cast that includes Star Wars veterans Daisy Ridley (Rey), Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), John Boyega (Finn), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron), Lupita Nyong’o (Maz Kanata), Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux), Kelly Marie Tran (Rose Tico), Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca), Billie Lourd (Lieutenant Connix), Greg Grunberg (Snap Wexley), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian) and Carrie Fisher (Leia Organa) as well as new additions Naomi Ackie (Lady Macbeth), Richard E. Grant (Logan), Dominic Monaghan (Lost), and Keri Russell (The Americans).
