A couple of Star Wars alums are responding to whether they’d be open to reprising their respective roles in the epic space opera franchise.

Emilia Clarke and Daisy Ridley, who both wrapped up their characters’ stories in the films that they starred in, were presented with the question while attending the 2023 Sundance Film Festival that kicked off on January 19.

For Clarke, she didn’t mince words when she shot back with a quick ‘no’, while Ridley had a different answer when she confessed she would definitely consider returning.

Star Wars alums: Emilia Clarke and Daisy Ridley responded to the question of whether they would consider reprising their roles in the Star Wars franchise while attending the 2023 Sundance Film Festival

Clarke, 36, played the role of Qi’ra, Han Solo’s childhood friend and romantic interest, in Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018).\

While promoting the new science fiction romantic comedy film The Pod Generation at Sundance, the British actress was asked if her interest in doing more genre films would extend back to a galaxy far, far away.

 

‘I mean… no,’ she said with a laugh, according to Indie Wire, adding, ‘That would be lovely, that would be very nice. I’m genuinely having a wicked time on Marvel, though, they’re absolutely brilliant.’

In an interview with IMdB, the London, England native confessed she would definitely consider returning to the fold.

The actress also spoke to TheWrap about how she has watched the various Star Wars franchise shows on Disney+, and considers herself a big fan.

‘I haven’t watched all of them, but it’s just because of timing and stuff like that. But yeah, I mean the work everyone’s doing is amazing,’ she shared. ‘I worked with Pedro Pascal and I was like, “This is really cool; he’s The Mandalorian.” I still find it all very exciting.’
