Star Wars release BRAND NEW trailer for The Last Jedi
The 25-year-old was at Star Wars Celebration this weekend for The Last Jedi panel when she made the reveal.
It turns out Ridley has spoken to a few people who have already seen a rough cut of Star Wars Episode VIII.
Speaking with Fandango, she said: “I’ve spoken to a number of people that have seen a rough cut, and everyone’s like, ‘It’s different. It’s different.’
“So I think with Rian’s vision and his image, and also I think he had J.J., who you know brought all the old fans back and the new fans in and he had all this stuff.”

She added: “Rian, I think, had more room to kind of do his thing.”
With Rian’s sci-fi background in time travel thriller Looper, it’s likely that Star Wars fans will be treated to a much darker entry to the franchise than The Force Awakens.
Earlier this year it was revealed that Disney CEO Bob Iger had seen a rough cut of The Last Jedi.
He called it: “A great next chapter in the iconic Skywalker family saga.”
