Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey in the current Star Wars trilogy, has confirmed that The Rise of Skywalker will deal with the subject of Rey’s parents.
Talking to USA Today, when asked about if the film would further explore her character’s parentage, Ridley said: “(Director J.J. Abrams) did say the question is answered. So at the end of the film, you do know what the dealio is.”
Back in April, J.J. Abrams said that “there’s more to the story than you’ve seen” in regards to Rey’s parents, teasing that he and writer Chris Terrio had more ideas in mind for Rey’s backstory. But Ridley’s latest comments solidify the fact that The Rise of Skywalker will answer fans’ questions about the topic.
