Daisy Ridley revealed that Rey was supposed to have a connection an entirely different character in Star Wars.

During her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with guest host Josh Gad, the 28-year-old actress opened up about her character’s ancestry and shared that it was actually Obi-Wan Kenobi she was supposed to be a descendant of.

As fans know, it was revealed that Rey was a descendant of Emperor Palpatine.

“At the beginning, there was toying with, like, an Obi-Wan connection,” she explained. “There were like different versions.”

However, when J.J. Abrams came back to the franchise to direct The Rise of Skywalker, he decided he liked the Palpatine connection better.

“It came to Episode IX, and J.J. pitched me the film and was like, ‘Oh yeah, Palpatine’s granddaddy,’” Daisy shared. “And I was like, ‘Awesome.’ And then, two weeks later, he was like, ‘Oh, we’re not sure.’ So, it kept changing. So then, even while filming, I wasn’t sure what the answer was going to be.”

If you missed it, this actress revealed that she auditioned for the movies, but didn’t end up getting a role.

Daisy Ridley is sharing some surprising news.

During a new interview, the 28-year-old actress revealed that she wasn’t going on a lot of auditions after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hit theaters.

“It was so sad to finish [Star Wars],” Daisy shared with Entertainment Weekly. “When the film was released, I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ It was such a huge chapter. And, weirdly, the past few months of not having much… Obviously now it’s really nice to be working, but not having much [at the time] I feel like I processed the last five years. To be forced to slow down, it was good mentally for me because [Star Wars was] a big thing in my life.”

“Weirdly, at the beginning of the year nothing was coming through,” Daisy continued. “I was like, ‘Aww! No one wants to employ me.’”

Daisy also mentioned that “there were actually loads of things that I auditioned for at the beginning of the year and didn’t get any of them.”

By the end of February and into early March, Daisy said “things started picking up” and she got the role of voicing a character in the time-loop video game Twelve Minutes.
