Star Wars’ Daisy Ridley Interested In Sequel Trilogy Special Edition

Disney's Star Wars sequel trilogy may have come to an end with the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker last December, however, it seems like Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley wants Lucasfilm to give fans more.

While most fans criticize Episode IX for squeezing in too much in a two-hour-and-a-half movie, J.J. Abrams planned a lot more for the film. The home release of The Rise of Skywalker didn't include any sort of deleted scene or commentary from Abrams because the film had multiple rewrites and reshoots. Speaking in an interview with Cinema Blend (via Showbiz Cheat Sheet), Daisy Ridley admits how she had so much to do in The Rise of Skywalker, it had been impossible to include all of her stunts and scenes in the final cut of the film.

There were so many scenes that were excluded from the film, that when asked whether she would consider a special edition of the film, Ridley seemed intrigued.

"I think it'd be very interesting because there was also stuff we did that wasn't in it. So it would be interesting to see. I think it's always amazing to see how an editor — and [co-editor Maryann Brandon] is amazing — how she goes from making big or subtle changes and making it a better thing," the actress told the entertainment news site, "So I think it would be interesting to see it, but I don't believe it would be a better film because, you know, they chose the best stuff."

It'd certainly be interesting to see how Star Wars editors might spin Episode IX into a better film. Would Brandon be able to offer fans a more cohesive narrative than what Abrams did with The Rise of Skywalker?

We're not sure how fans would feel about a special edition though. After all, Star Wars has always a complicated history with special edition features.

The Skywalker saga is available for streaming on Disney+.
