Couple last sequals missing :(
- Thread starter Indiana
- Start date
Rise of Skywalker is awesome, Daisy Ridley is the greatest actor in the known universe.
Seriously though, with her meal ticket gone how is Daisy Ridley going to compete for roles against Florence Pugh, Saoirse Ronan and Anya Taylor Joy? Let's put Emilia Clarke and Emma Roberts in with Ridley.

I think she's perfectly fine as an actress. But she is going to have to work hard to shed the curse of being so associated with that kind of blockbuster franchise. (Clarke has the same problem, absolutely.)
Bogeya seems to be doing a good job going after small, intense acting pieces and Isaac already had the cred. She will have to do a bunch of indie work probably. Nothing will get sold on her name alone, but she has time to build a decent career. Look at Pattinson, he stayed away from franchise stuff for a long time after Twilight and rebuilt cred so that now he is doing Batman it is ok. A bunch of the Marvel people are doing the same thing (look at Chris Evans, who seems to be picking his stuff very carefully) .
Will it work? Fuck if I know. A lot of this is luck and timing and who will give you a shot. Carrie Fisher and Mark Hammil never recovered as big stars, but went on to do good work. Portman survived the Prequels.
