Ridley, who is starring int he new indie drama “Sometimes I Feel Like Dying”, seemed interested in returning to the series that made her a star with “The Force Awakens”.
“I mean, I’m open to a phone call. I’m looking for employment!” she told IMDb.
Talking to The Wrap about the various “Star Wars” TV series on Disney+, Ridley said, “I haven’t watched all of them, but it’s just because of timing and stuff like that. But yeah, I mean the work everyone’s doing is amazing. I worked with Pedro Pascal and I was like, “This is really cool; he’s The Mandalorian.” I still find it all very exciting.”

Clarke, who starred in “Solo: A Star Wars Story”, was asked by IndieWire about whether there were plans for a follow-up, but seemed to shut down the idea, though she has no problems with acting in big blockbusters.
“I mean… no,” she laughed at first, before adding: “That would be lovely, that would be very nice. I’m genuinely having a wicked time on Marvel, though, they’re absolutely brilliant.”
The former “Game of Thrones” star is starring in the new sci-fi romantic comedy, “The Pod Generation”.
“The Rise of Skywalker” was the last “Star Wars” film to hit theatres, back in 2019. A number of potential films in the franchise are currently in development, including movies by Taika Waititi, Damon Lindelof and more.
