'Star Wars' Star Daisy Ridley Returns To Social Media After 6 Year Break!

Actress Daisy Ridley has finally returned from her six-year hiatus!

The 29-year-old British actress quit social media in 2016 after she received a harsh response from fans for a post she made expressing support for victims of gun violence.

The “Star Wars” actress who played Rey in the sequel trilogy, shared a photo of herself sipping tea in a fluffy white robe for her first post.

“Coming out of social media hibernation refreshed, recharged, and ready for what I’m calling my ‘Year of Yes’. (And that’s the tea.),” she wrote. “picture courtesy of my <3 glam @lipstickkelly and @dayaruci”

The official “Star Wars” Twitter account poked fun at her glasses, writing, “Those would make piloting a speeder most difficult.”

Joonas Suotamo, who took over the role of Chewbacca from the late Peter Mayhew, wrote, “I need some of those goggles to pilot the Falcon. 😂😎”

“Hamilton” star Leslie Odom Jr. commented, “Welcome back. Take your breaks when you need em! x”

Many more fans celebrated Daisy Ridley’s return to Instagram.

“OMG!!! This is really happening?! Soo good to have you back Daisy! We missed you!!! ❤️” one fan wrote.

“Daisy on social media. Nature is healing,” another commented.

“Return of the Jedi,” another joked.

On Tuesday, the “Murder on the Orient Express” actress posted a few different parody art poses.

“Trying to remember how to use this app,” she wrote. “Maybe it’s a good thing I didn’t have Insta during quarantine, or else I would have posted these. Oh, well, still posting them.”

Joonas Suotamo commented, “Welcome back! ❤️”

Leslie Odom Jr. wrote, “Yes. All year long.”

“Daisy Ridley is a work of art all by herself,” another fan wrote. Another said it “deserves to be in a gallery.”

“This is the correct way to use the app,” said another. Another called her the “Queen of Edits.”

A year after she quit social media, the “Chaos Walking” actress told Glamour that social media wasn’t good for her and she wanted to protect her privacy. “It's not good for me, personally,” she explained. “I'm just not equipped for it. I'm super sensitive — not too sensitive, but I really feel things.”

“I have to come first, because if I am not healthy — I was struggling with anxiety last year — if I'm not mentally healthy, or I'm depleted from sharing so much, I won't have anything left for when people approach me,” she added.

She also told Buzzfeed’s news morning show AM to DM in 2019 that she was never getting back on social media, saying, “I honestly think now with social media and stuff, it's great to have freedom of expression, but I do feel like people think opinions have so much weight.”

“I don't really think bad vibes should have the sun shone on them,” she added. “Like, I don't want to read your thing.”

It’s not really clear why Daisy Ridley decided to get back on social media but her fans are happy to see her there regardless!

Although the franchise has shifted its focus to many Disney+ live-action series that took place before the events of the sequel trilogy – like “The Mandalorian,” “The Book of Boba Fett,” and “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” it’s possible that Rey will make her return one day.

Daisy, who had previously said “never say never” when hinting at a possible return to the franchise, was seen sporting a new pixie cut and a ruffled black dress on the BAFTA red carpet last month when she was asked about a possible return to the franchise.

A reporter said, “Do tell me. Do you miss being Rey? Are you going to make a return to ‘Star Wars’?”

“I’ll always be Rey,” Ridley replied with a smirk before jokingly adding, “Soundbite!”

So will Daisy Ridley ever reprise her role as Rey? Fans can't wait to find out!
