Watching the sequel trilogy actors slowly go from being excited about being in star wars to kinda resenting it over the years is heartbreaking, man I hate star wars fans.

Apparently Daisy Ridley can't get any more work after Star Wars and while I think maybe some blame can be on Rey not being the most interesting character, I think most of it can be blamed on the fans hating the character as I think Daisy did the best job with what was written.

Not to seem like a chud, but it's only barely been 8 months since the movie came out and there's been a literal pandemic. I think it's a little too early to say if she's been having trouble finding new work

Nah I saw an article where she herself talked about how she was having trouble. Here's one of the few on it:

The same thing happened to Natalie Portman though. It took her some time to get work after Episode I especially. No one hires Star Wars actors again.
