Rey herself (Daisy Ridley) has said that Star Wars on the whole aren’t sexist, and the sexism angle was way overblown. This in relation to backlash over the director the upcoming (but very delayed) Rey movie. This is in direct contrast to the narrative that’s been perpetuated by the media and even Lucasfilm itself that Star Wars fans are often toxic and awful if they don’t like the Disney sequels. Does Disney NEED the fans to come back or what?

Additional Context:
In the galaxy of Star Wars fandom, Daisy Ridley, famed for her role as Rey Skywalker, recently navigated the hyperspace of public opinion on the topic of sexism within the Star Wars community. Contrary to the narrative often portrayed in the media, Ridley’s experience with fans has been overwhelmingly positive. She mentioned in an interview with NBC News that her interactions with fans have been “wonderful and supportive,” leading her to believe that the accusations of widespread sexism in the Star Wars fandom are “blown out of proportion”.
Ridley’s comments come at a pivotal time for the Star Wars franchise, as it aims to evolve beyond the nostalgia of the original films, focusing on new narratives and inclusivity. This approach is evident in the upcoming film “Star Wars: New Jedi Order,” where Ridley will reprise her role as Rey Skywalker. The film, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, is part of a broader effort to diversify the storytelling within the Star Wars universe, aiming to cater to a varied fan base despite some social media backlash.
The discussion around the sequel trilogy and Ridley’s return to the Star Wars universe has reignited debates and expectations among fans. Some fans have expressed dissatisfaction, particularly regarding the direction of the new film and the choice of Obaid-Chinoy as director. However, Ridley’s perspective suggests that these views might not represent the majority of the Star Wars fandom.
Ridley’s stance is significant in the context of ongoing debates about the relationship between franchises like Star Wars and their fan bases. The narrative of toxic fandom has been a recurrent theme, especially in the wake of Disney’s acquisition of the franchise and the subsequent sequel trilogy. Ridley’s comments challenge this narrative, suggesting a more nuanced understanding of fan interactions and the impact of online discourse.
Her remarks also raise questions about the role of media in shaping narratives around fandom culture. The contrast between Ridley’s personal experiences and the broader media portrayal of Star Wars fans as sexist underscores the complexity of fan communities and the potential for misrepresentation in public discourse.
As the Star Wars franchise continues to expand and evolve, the interaction between creators, actors, and fans will remain a dynamic and essential aspect of its legacy. Ridley’s insights offer a valuable perspective on this relationship, highlighting the importance of understanding and engaging with fan communities in a constructive and respectful manner.
