Most Star Wars fans agree that the sequel to Trilogy is a big bunch of Bantha Poodoo, but far too many people are responsible for the failures of these films. From the beginning, platforms such as YouTube were filled with Weirdos, which blame Daisy Ridley as if it had real creative control over her character or the arch of these films. But as director Martin Campbell recently emphasized, Daisy Ridley is one fantastic Actors, and his friendly words remind you that Hardcore Rey Hasers just donāt know how films work.
Hold the flap, Daisy Ridley Hasers
If you donāt know yet, Campbell is a veteran action movie director who recently staged Ridley cleaner. In a recent interview, the director praised how great her performance was in the film. He emphasized a certain scene and found how āconvincingā she was and how āit was necessary to do a good actress to do thisā. Read his friendly words about it Daisy RidleyI couldnāt help but think about how much her haters do not understand some simple truths: namely that even the best actors are only as good as the script and the director allow them to be.
What does this mean in the context of the notorious Star Wars sequel trilogy? Many of the criticisms of Ridley began as a criticism of her Rey character, with angered fans claiming that she was a Mary Sue figure that is incredibly overwhelmed and more armor than Jabba, who has Hutt, backfett. Now we can argue whether Daisy Ridleyās character was as bad or not as the haters say, but it is important to recognize something fundamental here: She didnāt write the script.
It is one thing to hate a character, but it is another thing to hate the actor who brings this character to life. To appreciate how stupid Daisy Ridleyās greatest hater are, you donāt have to search any further than Mark Hamills Luke Skywalker Character was shown in The last Jedi. Many fans opened it openly that this hero of the original trilogy was now an annoyed burnout that started saving the galaxy, and even Hamill himself took an exception from this new direction for his character.
However, Mark HamillIn contrast to Daisy Ridley, there was no army of Hasern online who waited to overthrow him because of the changes to Luke. That is because of it Rian Johnson. If Luke Skywalker is terribly written, nobody, not even Hamill himself, can save this beloved character.
Then why believe that Daisy Ridleyās hater somehow ruined the sequel trilogy? It is possible (very likely, even), that a large part of this hate was fueled by the misogyny of the idiotic YouTubers, whose whole Schtick spends women responsible for everything they hate films and television. It is also possible that this younger generation of film fans has no real idea how films are made, which means that they are responsible for blaming actors who did not have creative control over their characters or actions.
If you are one of Daisy Ridleyās haters, here is a challenge: look at your performance in non-star Wars films, how Murder on the Orient ExpressPresent The daughter of Marsh KingAnd cleaner. You will probably be pleasantly surprised at how great you play in films without garbage scripts that were primarily designed to sell toys. With a little luck, Ridleyās career was not permanently affected and the main trilogy is not the first step in a dark way that will dominate her fate forever.
