“Star Wars” alum Daisy Ridley may be done throwing her lightsaber around, but it seems Star Wars Day got her feeling nostalgic.
The annual holiday is held every May 4 and is also known as “May the Fourth Be With You.” It’s a clever pun on the phrase “May the Force Be With You” that is commonly heard in a galaxy far, far away.
The “Chaos Walking” actress posted a throwback snap to one of her first photoshoots after 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker” came out and fans are calling it her best photoshoot ever.

The first photo shows Daisy donning some high-waisted jeans with a wide cuff on the beach as she pulls her slicked-back hair out of her face. The next photo shows Daisy shielding her eyes from the sun as she wraps a blazer around her.
The last photo shows Daisy in a white Calvin Klein sports bra with her hands in the pocket of some loose-fitting overalls. Her wispy wet hair is dangling in front of her face and fans can see sand lining her arm from her shoulder to her elbow.
“Could use some of that California sunshine right about now,” Daisy wrote in the caption. “Throwback to my January/February 2020 cover with @britishgq shot by @alexilubomirski.”
“BEST PHOTOSHOOT EVER,” one fan wrote. Another fan commented, “This is definitely one of the best photoshoots you’ve ever done.”
“Need some more Daisy abs in my life,” said another. “Please share more.”
“Literally one of my favorite photoshoots of you,” said a third.
“Utterly stunning, Daisy,” said another. “Simply timeless.”

Daisy posted a video of her working out with her trainer, Matt Bevan, proving how strong her abs (and arms!) really are as she held herself up and showed her fans how strong she really is!
“A little midweek torture c/o @mattbevan_, who somehow manages to turn 20 seconds into 40 🤨,” she captioned the video.
“DAISY YOUR HAIR,” one fan wrote, referring to her new pixie haircut that she displayed at the BAFTAs earlier this year.
“You got this,” another fan said. “The force is with you!”
“Force powers don’t fail Daisy now!” said another.
“Wow more power to you and love the haircut!!” another fan wrote.
“Just giving us all a free ticket to the gun show,” said another.
It’s possible that Daisy cut her hair for her new role in the Disney+ movie “The Young Woman and the Sea.”

Daisy showed off her latest role with a few slides of the work she’s doing for her new movie. She captioned the post: “Research for ‘The Young Woman and the Sea’. 🏊♀️🗞Thrilled to be a part of this beautiful film and this incredible story,” Ridley wrote in the caption. “Slide 1. Trudy 👉🏻 2. still the biggest ticker tape parade in NY for any athlete! 👉🏻 3. ?!?!?! 👉🏻 4. ?!?!?!??!??!??”
The third slide shows a headline that reads “Girl Athletes Headed For Sex Extinction Says Scientist.” The fourth slide shows women at a protest holding up various signs. One sign says, “Women Athletes Are Not Good Mothers.” Another sign says, “Women Athletes Will Learn How To Cook And Sew.”
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Glenn Stout. The book tells the story of Gertrude “Trudy” Ederle, who is played by Daisy Ridley. In 1926, she became the first woman to ever swim across the English Channel. Ederle was the daughter of a German butcher from Manhattan who became a competitive swimmer that won the gold medal in the 1924 Olympic Games. Ederle first swam 22 miles from Battery Park, New York to Sandy Hook, New Jersey, and set an 81-year record before she eventually attempted to cross the English Channel.
On Wednesday, Deadline reported that “Doctor Who” star Chris Eccleston will join the cast. Tilda Cobham-Hervey and Stephen Graham are also set to star. The film will be directed by Joachim Rønning and is currently in production. No release date has yet to be announced!
