Star Wars sequel trilogy star Daisy Ridley has revealed that despite leading the sci-fi franchise, she wasn’t “getting many offers” for other projects.Speaking during a panel at SXSW in Austin, Texas this past weekend – per a Variety report, Ridley recounted on her experiences finding work after the final entry of the Star Wars sequel trilogy – The Rise of Skywalker – had released.Ridley reportedly said to those in attendance: “There weren’t that many offers coming in. It’s not that there wasn’t any… I remember finishing and thinking, ‘Oh, it’s quiet and strange.’”That was partially due to the mixed reception she was getting from Star Wars fans.
While fans never really gave her a hard time for her acting, the writing of her character, Rey, was slammed.In late January, she spoke about the public reaction to the 2019 movie saying: “It’s still upsetting. You don’t want people to feel like you’ve not served the thing they’re a fan of.”While at SXSW, she added that it took her a long time to feel “comfortable” about her role as Rey: “It took, honestly, making the third film till I felt like ‘OK, I’m good.
I deserve to be here.’”The Rise Of Skywalker, directed by JJ Abrams, was the final part of a trilogy involving Ridley’s character, Rey, and the ninth film in the Star Wars ‘Skywalker saga’. Ridley first appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015, and then again in Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2017, directed by Rian Johnson.The Rise Of Skywalker scored a three-star review, with Alex Flood writing for NME: “Nearly all the unanswered questions are resolved and Skywalker feels sufficiently satisfying as a final chapter.

Aspyr has admitted a series of “critical errors” impacted the launch of the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection.Originally announced last month, the Classic Collection brought together the first two Star Wars Battlefront games for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series.Alongside the base games, the package included a number of bonus levels and characters as well as an online multiplayer mode that was advertised as allowing up to 64 players to take part in challenges like conquest, capture the flag, hunt, hero assault, and space assault.However, when Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection launched yesterday (March 14), players found themselves facing a number of bugs and glitches, alongside a seemingly tiny number of servers available for multiplayer.

Daisy Ridley stepped out to celebrate the premiere of her new movie Magpie at South By Southwest film festival!
Cynthia Littleton Business Editor Daisy Ridley took a moment during the post-premiere Q&A for her indie thriller “Magpie” at SXSW on Saturday night to reflect on the journey of bringing the film to life. “I remember the first day on set when I saw the trailers saying ‘Oh my god, we’re making a film.’ Now, I feel like, ‘Oh my god, we’re here,’ ” Ridley said after “Magpie” had its world premeire at the State Theater in Austin, Texas. “Magpie” hails from Bateman’s Werewolf Films, 55 Films and Align.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic How distraught is Annette, the severely troubled British mother of two played by Daisy Ridley in “Magpie?” She has gotten a short angular haircut, one that might, in another context, be the height of chic (very Isabella Rossellini). Except that the movie uses it as a symbolic expression of her trauma, like Mia Farrow’s iconic Vidal Sassoon cut in “Rosemary’s Baby.” Annette, who’s on some serious medication, looks at a mirror until it breaks. Does she have telekinetic powers? No, she broke it with her hand (which bleeds into the sink), but the force of her repressed rage is palpable.
