Many Star Wars fans feel it Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker it was a very disappointing conclusion to the sequel trilogy. Margaret Ridley, who played the central character Rey, recently shared his thoughts on the film’s polarizing reception during an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. She spoke about the mixed reactions from fans and critics that have continued to spark conversations since the film’s 2019 release.

Ridley also acknowledged the divisive nature of the sequel trilogy as a whole, highlighting its reception in particular Ryan Johnson’S The Last Jedi: “Rian’s was so controversial. It really felt like the first one was enough – everyone responded similarly. And then Rian’s, super controversial. And then the last one, super controversial.” This trilogy has indeed aroused a spectrum of opinions among Star Wars fanbase, with each episode bringing its own set of debates.
Despite the mixed reception of The Rise of SkywalkerRidley maintains a positive view of her Star Wars trip, saying, “It didn’t change how I felt about it,” he said, indicating his personal satisfaction and pride in his work on films.
I just want to say that I don’t blame Ridley for how the sequel trilogy turned out. I blame Lucasfilm and the creative teams for not having a clear path on where to take the story. I think the sequel trilogy could have been incredible with Ridley and the rest of the cast, Lucasfilm just didn’t know what the hell they were doing.

And I think it just offers a huge opportunity to introduce new characters and start with something new, because we have reached its peak.” with what George [Lucas] was creating, and now we take everything and move it to the next chapter.”
