During the "Star Wars" celebration fan event last April, Lucasfilm revealed the plans for the new "Star Wars" movies, including one where English actress Daisy Ridley will return as a Jedi master.

Filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will reportedly direct Ridley's return to the big screen. The still-untitled "Star Wars" film starring Ridley will be "set in a Jedi academy with a powerful Jedi master," said Obaid-Chinoy at the time.

Ridley's character Rey will pick up 15 years after the events of "The Rise of Skywalker" and follow its mission to rebuild the Jedi Order.

Talking about reprising her role as Rey during an interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub for "The Marsh King's Daughter," Ridley shared her thoughts about her new "Star Wars" film and said, "I'm very excited. The story is really cool. I'm waiting to read a script because, obviously, I don't have any other updates."

"It's not what I expected, but I'm very excited," she added.

Like the excited fans, Ridley still doesn't know all the specific details about her character Rey's return to the galaxy far, far away yet, like if it will be the start of a new film trilogy, but what she knows at the moment could give fans some clues.

"I know the storyline for one film. That's not to say that's all it is, but that's what I was told about. And I imagine it will be the next film, I think. I mean, again, I don't know, post strikes and everything, how quickly everything will start up again," she said. "But yes, so far, I know the story of one film, and I think people will be very excited."

Meanwhile, ScreenRant listed the most exciting things about Ridley's new "Star Wars" film. One of which is Ridley's acting, which displays "incredible emotional depth" and elevates every scene her character Rey is in.

The entertainment website also highlighted the possibility of seeing "two versions of the Jedi Order in the galaxy's ancient past and the future" in Ridley's new "Star Wars" film.

Moreover, it could provide answers to the questions left unanswered in "The Rise of Skywalker" and "build on what came before."
