Daisy Ridley became a renowned international actor after she starred as Rey in Disney's Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. Rey was the main protagonist of the sequel trilogy, becoming Luke Skywalker's Jedi successor. The sequel trilogy ended with J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which was the ninth movie in the main Star Wars saga.
