Daisy Ridley Might’ve Slightly Spoiled A Bit Of ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ While Remembering Carrie Fisher


It’s been nearly a year since the world lost Carrie Fisher, and with The Last Jedi almost in theaters, her near-bottomless well of funny stories and poignant advice are making their way back into the news cycle through her extended Star Wars family. Looking back over the seemingly un-ending public relations stops for Carrie Fisher during the release of The Force Awakens, it seems like there wasn’t a single person she wasn’t willing to give highly-personal advice to, and everyone loved her for it.

But now, with the impending release of The Last Jedi, her friends and castmates are looking back on Fisher’s final performance as Princess Leia. Specifically Daisy Ridley, who looks back on their final scene together as particularly meaningful personally, and in the grand scheme of Star Wars.

In an interview with Glamour, Ridley details that final scene ever so briefly, and while it’s touching, it also might (might) be a spoiler. So be advised:
*Spoiler*

“The last thing Carrie and I filmed together was emotional for a variety of reasons. It’s the end of the film, and all of this crazy stuff has happened. There’s this moment that we share, and thinking about it now, I realize that it’s going to be really hard to watch. Because it will seem like a goodbye, even though it wasn’t at the time. You know, she and I went through a similar thing at different times. She had the most insane life.”

So, now we know Rey is going to be with Leia at the end of the film, “crazy stuff has happened” and they’re both alive. Has Rey turned to the dark side at this time? We don’t know. Will Princess Leia live on after their meeting? We don’t know. But we’re set up for what’s going to be an emotional Rey/Leia moment near the denouement, possibly while thousands if not millions of porgs cheer around them (I made up that last part).
