Star Wars star Daisy Ridley: 'Every sane person' has an 'issue with Trump'
Washington Examiner ^ | December 9, 2019 | Carlin Becker

Posted on 12/09/2019 4:42:45 PM PST by EdnaMode

Star of the upcoming film Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Daisy Ridley asserted that "everyone has an issue with Trump — every sane person anyway."

Speaking with The Guardian in an interview published over the weekend, the English actress took aim at both President Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. When asked if she finds it difficult to speak out about politics given that the Star Wars franchise is owned by family-friendly Disney, Ridley said, "No. I don’t feel I have to edit what I say — the things that make me angry are the things that make everyone angry."

"Everyone is annoyed with BoJo," she continued, referencing Johnson, leader of the nation's Conservative Party. "Everyone has an issue with Trump — every sane person anyway. It’s not that I don’t talk about this stuff, but other people are so much more articulate than me and say it better."

They need a distraction from how bad Rise of Skywalker is going to be.

Another person who few even know exists claiming to speak for everyone. I guess she got her wish, more people now know who she is. But, ask me next week and I won’t remember ever hearing her name.

>>And I wasn’t going to see the new one anyway!<<

Indications that it will bomb like “Solo.”

rey from SW is probably the most despised character ever. She is a damn Mary Sue and has no business in SW . Ren Stimpy is probably #2.

Every sane person knows that The Mandalorian is the only good thing Disney has done with Star Wars, and that’s because it’s Favreau’s baby and not that nut Kathleen Kennedy.

Me neither. I’ll be watching the original trilogy instead.

Never heard of her.

Is she supposed to be Spock’s girlfriend or something?

That’s the way a lot of these celebs think. Since I am successful as an actor or actress, I am now qualified to rule the world.

“And I wasn’t going to see the new one anyway!”

Nor I.

But even if I was, now I wouldn’t...along with, I suppose, a few million others.

These Dixie Chicks clones just don’t get it.

So then, if every sane person has an issue with Trump, is the implication that , by definition, one must be insane to support Trump? I wish these Hollywood idiots would clarify their opinions.......,....

They already screwed it up in ep. 4, not watching it anymore.

I’ve found the Mandalorian to be pretty thin on everything. Virtually everything “Star Wars” has been trash since the first books by Timothy Zahn, IMO.

Every sane person thinks that liberal hollyweird celebrities are stupid and should stick to playing make believe.
