Daisy Ridley, the star of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, says that Rey is full with “internal struggle” as the movie begins.
We are now only a week away from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker arriving in cinemas and there is so much to speculate about. Rey will clearly be key to events of the movie but where will the story find her as Episode IX begins?
Well, speaking in a recent interview (via ComicBook.com), actress Daisy Ridley has said that Rey is unsatisfied and troubled internally as the movie gets underway: “She’s been training and continuing this internal struggle; that has not gone away, it has intensified. She isn’t satisfied by what Kylo has told her. She’s struggling with that, so we meet her mid-training and then you see it play out more in real time, the struggles that she’s having and this drive that she has to reconcile the questions that she has.”

A large part of the struggle that Rey is dealing with is due to Kylo’s explanation about her parents, telling her that they were nobodies and it didn’t matter who they were. Will Rey find more satisfying answers in Episode IX? It’s not long until we find out.
