Daisy Ridley Says She Cried In Her Final Star Wars Scene

Daisy Ridley recently spoke with Couch Surfing (h/t Entertainment Weekly) about her emotions when she completed filming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Of course, back in February, J.J. Abrams shared a photo of Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac sharing a hug as filming ended (you can see the tweet below). Ridley was asked about the photo.

“I just can’t remember it,” she said. “I remember J.J. making a speech and I sort of remember a couple things he said, like I’m always on time, which I appreciate him saying. And then he went to pass me the mic and I was the last person to wrap. It was my final shot and I’m crying in the shot… It was dramatic.”

She continued about how emotional that last day of filming was.

“Hugged a number of people and then got in the car and looked out the window like I was in a music video: tears rolling down my face, hand to the window, thinking about days gone past,” she said.

It feels impossible, but today wrapped photography on Episode IX. There is no adequate way to thank this truly magical crew and cast. I’m forever indebted to you all. pic.twitter.com/138AprtFuZ
