We are just a couple months away from the release of Stars Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and fans are eagerly awaiting the fates of their favorite characters, including that of Rey and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), fans have speculated there is a romantic relationship between the two.
Daisy Ridley spoke with Entertainment Weekly and she is well aware of the “Reylo” craze that has swept the internet.
“It does not bother me, people writing theories,” Ridley said. “It’s really fun hearing them. Plus, because I know what’s sort of going to happen, I think it’ll be really interesting to see people’s reaction to [the final film]. Obviously, there’s this whole Reylo thing and some people are very passionate about it, some aren’t.”
Ridley added that director J.J. Abrams hasn’t ignored the idea of a romantic relationship between the two.
“J.J. does deal with [it]. It’s a very complex issue. People talk about toxic relationships and whatever it is. It’s no joke and I think it’s dealt with really well because it’s not skimmed over.”
