The love forStar Warshas spanned generations. With the films creating a cultural phenomenon that extends beyond the screen, fans have been drawn to the imaginative world-building, and iconic characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Princess Leia.
Although each film in the franchise has found a special place in the hearts of fans, the newer films wound up leaving a sour taste in the back of their throats. The displeasure may have started with the viewers. However, it looks like even some actors, like Daisy Ridley, were not too impressed.
Ridley may have starred in 3 recentStar Warsfilms and has even been confirmed for one more. However, it looks like the 32-year-old might just agree with the fan outrage towards her 2017 movie.

Now, a recent post onXrevealed the actress’ top 5 films from the franchise. However, her most recent project did not make it to the list.

Although Ridley starred in the 2017 film,The Last Jedi, it failed to wind up on her list of Top 5Star Warsfilms. However, the actress was thrown by the initial response from fans when the movie was released.
WhyStar Warsfans disapproved ofThe Last Jedi
When Daisy Ridley’sThe Last Jediwas released in 2017, it left fans divided on how to feel about the movie. One of the main points of contention was how the film had subverted many expectations that had been set up by the previous movies. After all, the director,Rian Johnson, had taken some rather bold creative risks like the portrayal of Luke Skywalker, which fans believe can befixed by one theory.
Although fans had mixed emotions, it was the creator and the stars of the film that faced the backlash. In fact, 7 years afterThe Last Jediwas released, Ridley shared her thoughts on the hate that poured in. In a conversation on theHappy Sad Confusedpodcast, the actress stated,“It’s still upsetting. You don’t want people to feel like you’ve not served the thing they’re a fan of.”
