The Star Wars sequel trilogy still proves divisive today, but Daisy Ridley’s character Rey was never the issue. Star Wars: The Force Awakens introduced audiences to a new trio of integral Star Wars characters, including Daisy Ridley’s scavenger Rey, John Boyega’s ex-stormtrooper Finn, and Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron, a top-notch Rebel pilot. No matter the circumstances, it would have been tough for these three actors and characters to follow in the legacy footsteps of Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker, Carrie Fisher’s Leia Organa, and Harrison Ford’s Han Solo. And yet, the new Star Wars trio did so with aplomb, even when all the cards were stacked against them both narratively and promotionally.
