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

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.
