VIDEO: Daisy Ridley Recaps All 'Star Wars' Movies in Epic Rap
It turns out that Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley can slay more than a few Storm Troopers.
E! News reports that the 27-year-old star recently stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote the last chapter to the Skywalker Saga, The Rise of Skywalker, but she didn’t just sit around for an interview. The Rey actor surprised everyone with an epic recap rap which detailed the major events of all the movies so far.
In the video above, the sound off begins with the original films. Ridley of course begins with, “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away / A guy named Vader tried to kidnap a rebel Princess Leia / So she employed a droid to record her a quick note / She said, 'Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.'" Ridley also moves through other iconic moments, like Leia’s golden bikini and Darth Vader’s “I am your father” line.
Fallon, who is showing pictures from the films on cards behind Ridley, then yells out, “Prequel time!” Ridley is prompted to then rap, “Back in the day / Little boy Anakin loved to pod race / Padmé escaped / Darth Maul went ape / the ending for Qui-Gon Jinn wasn't so great." She even takes a moment to make fun of the fandom's least favorite character, Jar Jar Binks, to which Fallon responds with “Fast forward! Light speed!”
Ridley ends the amazing recap with a little message about her character, singing, “You can't stop me / I'm a Jedi from Jakku / Fight the dark side from Tatooine to Naboo / Let go of everything that you fear to lose / Be the spark that lights the fire / and may the force be with you.”
