"I honestly have had moments where I’m like, 'I don’t know if I remember what I did [as Rey]'. It’s really strange. I think the whole thing will feel so different anyway with a totally different team. I’m in a very different place than I was. I’m probably going to be one of the adults, and initially, I was the youngest person on set, which is a weird feeling."
"I would also hope that it’s a lot of the same crew. Obviously, many people shifted, but many people stayed the same through all three films, and there was something wonderful and comforting about that. But I don’t know. It all remains to be seen. I would hope it feels natural in some way, but also like – I don’t know – like it’s a new adventure. I’m hoping it’s sort of a bit of both."
EDIT :
Your recent roles have this contrast to Star Wars, which is all about maximalism and a heart-on-your-sleeve approach to emotion. With these last few films, character-wise, you’ve dealt a lot more with interiority.
"I suppose the thread I have found with them all is that they’re all overcoming something. With Sometimes I Think About Dying, it’s merely being able to maintain a conversation with someone in a social situation. And with Trudy, it’s overcoming a feat that has literally never been done by a woman. They’re two very different things, but both are struggling for something. So that’s what I tend to find not at the time, but after the fact."
Jumping back to Star Wars, how prepared were you for how that was going to affect your life?
"There was a lot of love and protection. I can’t really remember that well — it was ten years ago. There was a lot of support given, but nothing can really prepare you for what you’re going to go through on an individual level."
You were also pulling pints in pubs before you got cast. That’s a rapid lifestyle adjustment that no-one can really be ready for.
"I think when everything actually happened, I stayed at home and sort of was like, “Okay!” There’s a craziness, and then everything goes away again, which is great. For all the people going, “Your life is going to change,” it did in some ways, and then you just go to your mum’s house and you’re like, “Okay, this is nice.” Having such a solid foundation was the absolute best thing for me. Obviously, on a professional scale, things changed, and [in terms of] anonymity, things change, but only actually really briefly. There were a lot of changes, but also many things stayed the same."
And now you’re preparing to star in another Rey film. Was it a difficult decision to come back?
"It wasn’t a difficult decision. I didn’t say yes right away, Kathy [Kennedy, Lucasfilm president] was like, “Take as long as you need.” It was actually really funny, on the way there [to meet Kennedy], I was on the phone to my best friend and he goes, “Oh my God, Dais, imagine if they’re doing a Rey TV show.” And I was like, “Nah, we’re literally just going for breakfast.” And then I called him and I was like, “You will never guess what.” Why wouldn’t I [do it]? Yes, they have been divisive, but also they bring a lot of love and joy to a lot of people. It feels pretty amazing to be able to continue a character — like, can I even remember how to play her? It’s an interesting challenge as an actor to come back to something and try to figure out what’s changed for me and what’s changed for her."
What are your hopes for Rey’s arc in this next film?
"I honestly have no idea. I know the story beats, but other than that, I’m not sure what it’s going to be. But I’m reading a script next month. I’m curious about it all."
You said yes to joining the films the first time, of course, but does it feel like you’re coming back on your own terms?
"Coming in a bit more eyes wide open, I suppose I feel more like I’m owning it. I suppose I owned it the first time. Basically, I’m an adult now.
I certainly did not feel like an adult at the time. Obviously, personally, things have changed, and professionally, I’ve had lots of other experiences, and so I definitely feel like it’s a different thing this time. There’s just a lot of joy with me and these films. Honestly, if I wasn’t excited, I wouldn’t have done it. It feels like a great thing to be part of."
Alors c'est une rumeur d'insider à prendre avec des pincettes, mais il n'empêche.
