Say what you want with Ridley and Star Wars she had some good moments during her run as Rey I thought. This role for Ridley looks amazing they got me with this Trailer for sure. I wonder how someone in the Water for that long doesn't get hungry at some point. They must be in the highest of head space during those moments to make sure they don't worry about it and continue the journey.
