Daisy Ridley gets hit with Star Wars: The Last Jedi questions from Judi Dench - "What's the deal with Reylo?"

I never thought I’d hear Dame Judi Dench utter the word “midichlorians,” but thanks to Josh Gad and his persistent effort to squeeze Daisy Ridley for information about Star Wars: The Last Jedi, what once seemed impossible has now come to pass. On the set of Murder on the Orient Express, Gad recruited his veteran co-star to pepper Ridley with a new round of Jedi-related questions.

This marks the third time he’s tried to uncover some answers for fans, following a sneak attack effort and a slightly more tactical approach, both of which failed to yield any results. But it looks as if Dench may have used the Jedi mind trick on Ridley, because Daisy agrees to answer her questions at the end of the video. Could Judi Dench herself be the last Jedi?

Directed by Rian Johnson and starring Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Laura Dern, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, and Benicio del Toro, Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in theaters on December 15, 2017.
