After John spoke about his experience with the franchise, some people blamed Daisy and Rey believing due to her — a white woman — her story is a bigger priority than that of a black man due to TFA’s misleading marketing.
they already hated her for 1) that interview when she was accused of denying her privilege and compared it to be John Boyega 2) How she and some of the TROS cast allegedly threw Rian under the bus in favor of JJ although both interviews were taken out-of-context;…
I know for a fact there will be people who will be hurt by this, some going to “unstan” and will never forgive her, or even boycott The New Jedi Order movie and her future projects because of this. People already hated her because of Rey;…
Seeing how the odds are being stacked too much and underlying all of this comes a heartbreaking thought that has been seeping through - “I never knew how frustrating being a woman, a Daisy Ridley fan, and a Sequel Trilogy fan could be.” I can’t take it anymore.
Star Wars fans who were introduced by The Force Awakens, and unfortunately at the same time, they also became targets for culture war influencers over the years where they were often used as dog whistles to promote hate speech disguised as “criticism”.
I’m getting fed up that I can't talk about how much I love the Sequels, Daisy, and Rey without strangers in this app telling me that Rey is a Mary Sue, Daisy is a bad actress and how Disney “RuInEd her career”, saying I’m wrong or call me the “r-slur” in the replies.
I’m getting fed up seeing YouTube videos plastering Daisy & Rey’s faces on their fuckass thumbnails for negative Star Wars content knowing it attracts a certain audience — even going as far as using AI-generated slop— all over my FYP.
The more I see of these comments as time goes by, the more I feel genuine worry that it’ll might be the case so I slowly got more desperate to prove them wrong or try to curtail them.
People say due to Lucasfilm’s lack of commitment of theatrical films, they say I’m deluding myself into thinking the movie will see the light of day despite hitting multiple road blocks in its path. They’ll say anything to not give Daisy and Rey their due.
It was obvious re-releasing of The Revenge of the Sith for its 20th anniversary was a bigger priority to Lucasfilm than re-releasing The Force Awakens for its 10th anniversary last year. (2/2)
Due to internal and external factors, some say it is unlikely that the Sequel Trilogy would get the same reappraisal as the Prequels did (if you could ignore the piss-poor history revisionism). As best explained in The Gold Man’s video about The Force Awakens 10 Years Later. (1/2)
Let’s face it, no one saw the Sequel Trilogy because they were “Daisy Ridley films”. Of the non-legacy main cast she is - at best - third as a box office draw. There’s a reason why Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Adam Driver got top billing before her.
and how she seems to relish being in “third-rate B-movie slop” than to be in high-profile projects made by some of those acclaimed auteurs that general audiences are excited for.
it reinforces the notion that she has suffered the worst post-Star Wars career this decade and go “lol your goat is so washed”, saying she’ll never have what it takes to reach the same heights as her peers…
she has multiple announced projects that are either cancelled or stuck in development hell, and is now resorting to be in this sad attempt of a Johnny Depp comeback vehicle from Paramount Pictures that’s now owned by MAGA Zionist oligarchy;…
Now more than ever so, a lot of negative thoughts have shouting in my ear. Everything I’ve feared and been trying to fight back all these years are starting to be realized soon. Like the fact that all of Daisy’s post-TROS movies are box office bombs,…
she was finally gaining momentum in 2024. And her being silent about the matter isn’t doing any favors. We saw how she's able to pick herself back up with a banger after starring in a dud, but how could one possibly bounce back from something like THIS?????
If I manifested enough for The New Jedi Order to start production soon and the movie ends up being better than we could imagine where we say “YES WE’RE SO FUCKING BACK!”, maybe it’ll finally show everyone that Daisy Ridley is special. Then, in one single act, everything changed.
Remember in Young Woman and the Sea where the townspeople of Dover, England rallied together in support for Trudy Ederle by lighting bonfires on the shores as a guiding beacon for her? Compared that to the global outpouring of love millions of fans have for both Rey and Daisy.
but also her earnest and charismatic persona both on and off-screen, her openess about her physical and mental health struggles, advocating for women’s health and well-being, and engaged in Pro-Palestine activities has made me feel vindicated more than ever,…
as a female viewer seeing this strong, brave, and compassionate young woman struggle with loneliness, identity, and self-worth the same way I did when I first saw the films and what a comfort that was.
Sometimes I Think About Dying, Young Woman and the Sea, and Magpie. We were on such a good run, man. Normies had no idea how good we had it then.😭😭😭😭😭
Realistically speaking, Daisy Ridley is not a movie star, and you know what? That’s okay. Sometimes you don’t have to be considered a movie star to be a great actor. And I’m sure Daisy herself agrees with that sentiment as she has stated here:
