Part 5/11:
Despite the mounting criticism, Lucasfilm and Disney remain committed to their vision, signaling that they are "full speed ahead" with plans for the Ray project. Actress Daisy Ridley firmly stated that she isn't interested in listening to the fans' opinions during the creative process, emphasizing her focus on telling the story she wants to tell, regardless of audience reception.
In her own words, Ridley mentioned, "I’m drowning out those voices until I’m done." This selfish approach echoes a broader trend in Disney Star Wars—prioritizing individual vision over community consensus. The company appears to favor creating nostalgic nostalgia for newcomers and a select segment of fans, but actual interest among younger generations continues to decline.
