Daisy Ridley Clears Speculations About Her Character
MoviePilot reported that there are rumors that Rey (Daisy Ridley) is Jyn Ersos's (Felicity Jones) daughter. The two characters have a striking resemblance. Aside from their appearance, both share the same accent.
Although the speculations about the potential relationship of Ridley and Jone's characters seem reasonable, Ridley has something else to say about it. "I'm not being funny you guys, but just because she's white and got brown hair... it doesn't mean she's my mom," she told MTV.
The "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" star already knows Rey's parents and she thinks that it's not a big thing. "So to me, it's funny that people think it's so important because I don't really think it is," she added.
"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" will hit theaters on Dec. 16.
