I did a Q&A with Brooklynn Prince from The Florida Project last week and she was hilarious. She said to me, ‘you know Star Wars has been around since before dinosaurs?’ And she’s just seven years old. It makes you realise how big it is. It was insane because I’d just seen her in The Florida Project and I thought she was amazing, so it’s odd having those sorts of interactions. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to that.
Adam Driver: Is there an aspect of working on Star Wars—it could be anything from the light saber battles, the travel, the catering, to getting to see me every day and do my hair—that was your favorite part?
Daisy Ridley: I don’t know if I’ve ever properly thought about it. I love coming into the makeup trailer—everyone is there, you say good morning, and you get a little cuddle from people. I like the structure of that, of really being part of something for the duration of the day. The second [Star Wars], it’s so weird, because in my mind, they’re very separated. I just felt so distant. My head was so fucked after the first one came out. It was strange getting back into it, and it felt familiar and comforting. I suddenly felt really seen in a way [after the first Star Wars], which was so weird. Then, back at work, you’re just you and it’s not a big deal. You’re just at work: You’re doing your job and everyone else is doing their job. It’s just me being me. I just really liked being part of something where you’re one of a whole. When filming, you’re always part of a thing. Becoming besties with you was the best thing.
Adam Driver: That’s a lie, but we will make sure that’s printed.
The thing about ‘Star Wars’ is that every single person is important. Even though Rey is a big role, everyone influences everyone. If that wasn’t so, why would so many people remember Admiral Ackbar?
