Star Wars' Daisy Ridley Shares What She's Learned From The Trilogy While Building Lego

Two years ago, ELLE UK sat down with Daisy Ridley ahead of second film in Star Wars' most recent trilogy.

We chatted all things fame, working on a sequel, whether she had met co-star John Boyega's cat (we presume this was big news at the time). But it wasn't a straightforward celebrity interview, no.

Ridley, ever the good sport, did it all whilst assembling a Millennium Falcon out of lego.

So, as the trilogy draws to an end with the final film in the franchise, The Rise of Skywalker, we thought it would be fun to catch up with Ridley again, give her a new lego set to build (this time it's a Speeder Chaser) and find out what she's been up to - and whether she has any different outlooks in comparison to two years ago - since.

We asked some of the same questions as in 2017, such as what her lightsaber would look like now, if she's converted her dad from a Star Trek to a Star Wars fan, how she felt making the final instalment compared to the pressures she admitted to feeling ahead of The Last Jedi and if seeing Celine Dion at the Met Gala is still her biggest fan girl moment.

Spoiler: Ariana Grande, Ridley is desperate to be friends with you.

As it is the last time this sequel that we'll see Ridley as fierce Jedi Rey, we also wanted to know how she felt about leaving the character behind, what she hopes her legacy to be and what her favourite memories are.

May the force be with you.
