Very few actors get the chance to star alongside a genuine legend. For Daisy Ridley in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, she was able to work with not only one legend but several – including Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford. Ridley opened up to IGN Japan at a recent junket in Tokyo for The Rise of Skywalker about what she was able to learn from these giants of cinema – and what she regrets not asking them.
She said that any tips were gleaned indirectly, as she was hesitant to ask too many questions.
“I think all of us learned more by seeing how people (such as Fisher) were, rather than what they specifically said to us,” she said. “And especially, I never wanted to be the person who was like, ‘Hey, can I ask you like a hundred questions?’ So I went the other way and was like, ‘Yeah, I’m totally cool; I’m not fussed at all.’ So now I look back with Carrie – and with Harrison and Mark – on questions that I wish I had asked, but I didn’t want to be that annoying person.”
