If you cast your mind back to last month, Empire brought you an exclusive chat with Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker co-writer Chris Terrio, who talked about how the film will deal with the complicated relationship between Daisy Ridley's Rey and Adam Driver's Kylo Ren, known as "Reylo" in fandom circles. Now Ridley has gone on the record to confirm that it won't be glossed over.
"It does not bother me, people writing theories," Ridley tells Entertainment Weekly. "It’s really fun hearing them. Plus, because I know what’s sort of going to happen, I think it’ll be really interesting to see people’s reaction to [the final film]. Obviously, there’s this whole Reylo thing and some people are very passionate about it, some aren’t."
And according to Ridley, The Rise Of Skywalker will indeed address it. "JJ [Abrams] does deal with it," she adds. "It’s a very complex issue. People talk about toxic relationships and whatever it is. It’s no joke and I think it’s dealt with really well because it’s not skimmed over." For more from Ridley, head to EW's site.
The release of the latest Star Wars film creeps ever closer, and it'll be in UK cinemas on 19 December. You can learn more about the movie in the current issue of Empire.
