Star Wars 9 Rey actor talks about negative reviews from the audience: It's very frustrating

Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey, the protagonist of the new trilogy of "Star Wars", recently spoke in an interview with the DragCast podcast. She talked for the first time about the various reviews of "Star Wars 9" which was released in December last year. She admitted that she felt bad when she saw the bad reviews, but she was still proud of the movie.

"January 2020 wasn't great, it was pretty weird... it's hard to deal with when something you put a lot of love into is not well received by people."

Star Wars 9 was released in December last year, bringing the new trilogy and the entire "Skywalker Saga" to a close. Although the global box office exceeded $1 billion, the film received a lot of negative reviews, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of only 52%, and most fans did not buy it at all.

The star of the new trilogy said that while audiences have the right to express their opinions freely, she personally would never vent malice on social media about films she didn't like, after all, she works in the industry.

"I think it's more open now, so there are things I don't want to see. To be honest, in January I was trying not to see anything Star Wars on my newsfeed, but I would still see a lot of headlines and get really frustrated."

"So it's been a very difficult time to deal with, but I'm really proud of it (Star Wars 9) and happy to be a part of it."
