'Chaos Walking': Daisy Ridley embodies another solitary female badass, akin to her 'Star Wars' character Rey
In a short span of time, Daisy Ridley managed to become a household name with the Star Wars franchise offering her a kick-start to fame. It is one thing to be an eminent part of a franchise that has been reigning the hearts of millions, down generations at that too, all the way since 1977. But it's totally another thing to establish oneself as a significant character amongst plenty of legendary others, despite being introduced to the franchise only recently, and Ridley did that in a matter of just three years. And now she will be wowing us once again in the pivotal role of Viola, in the upcoming movie 'Chaos Walking' based on Patrick Ness' book of the same name. Also, something tells us that there could be no better fit than Ridley to own yet another strong female character set in a world predominantly populated by men.
Ridley joined the Star Wars franchise through 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' in 2015 when she played the role of a grown-up Rey - as a force-sensitive human female. Rey's past holds quite the tragic story; abandoned at an early age by her parents, Rey was forced to fend for her own needs as a child, and soon developed the survival skills of scavenging various materials obtained from battlefield sites of the last conflict in the Galactic Civil War. We call these as survival skills and self-sustenance, because all this while she was also sharpening her skills as a warrior, and as a pilot too.
