Daisy Ridley Career

Daisy Ridley journey in professional acting started with minor roles on television. During these early stages, she featured in shows such as “Youngers,” “Toast of London,” “Silent Witness,” “Mr. Selfridge,” and “Casualty.”

Alongside these roles, Daisy also acted in short films like “Blue Season,” which participated in a London Sci-Fi contest. One of her early film appearances was in the third part of “Lifesaver,” which earned a BAFTA Award nomination.

Following a music video appearance with Wiley, Ridley made her official film debut in an indie horror film titled “Scrawl.” Although she had a part in “The Inbetweeners 2,” her scenes were ultimately removed from the final version. Her performance in “Scrawl” earned her several awards.

Daisy Ridley “Star Wars”

In 2014, Daisy’s life took a significant turn. She was cast in the newest “Star Wars” installment, “The Force Awakens.” This marked Disney’s initial venture into the “Star Wars” realm after acquiring Lucas Film for billions.

When her character Rey was announced, many fans were puzzled. Ridley was relatively unknown at the time, a situation reminiscent of when George Lucas selected unfamiliar faces for pivotal parts in “A New Hope” decades earlier.

“The Force Awakens” was a significant box office success, accumulating over $2 billion in earnings and becoming the top-grossing film of 2015. 

Critics highlighted Daisy for her performance, leading her to receive several accolades. Among these were an MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance and a Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie: Breakout Star. 

A number of critics, including George Lucas, pointed out that “The Force Awakens” essentially recycled elements from “A New Hope” and lacked enough innovation in its storyline.

In light of the previous “Star Wars” installment’s financial success, it was only natural for Daisy to reprise her role as Rey in the sequel. This reunion took place in late 2017 with the release of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”

The film focused on the dynamics between Rey and Luke Skywalker, once again portrayed by Mark Hamill. Like its predecessor, “The Last Jedi” also found success at the box office, grossing over $1.33 billion with a production cost of approximately $250 million.

Daisy Ridley Films and Television Appearances

Additionally, she made an appearance in a music video for the song “Lights On” by Wiley. Her casting as Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens was made public in April 2014. 

In February 2014, it was announced that she would be part of the film. Many think that director J.J. Abrams intentionally chose Ridley for the leading role, intending to mimic George Lucas’s strategy from 1977 of casting lesser-known actors for significant roles.
