Maybe, you actually can't say for certain. Like I said, this franchise doesn't guarantee success across the board. If she doesn't audition well, then....:manny:

Clearly, she'll get SOME boost.

What is Sam Worthington up to, besides the planned 17 Avatar sequels?

I'm not hatin' BTW, she seems a cool chick. Just saying, no guarantees.

And if Boyega is "The Han", maybe he's also "The Harrison"....:yeshrug:
I do realize that Star Wars hasnt exactly been a vehicle for actors not named ford but she has something I don't know I can't put my finger on it.



Though I'd like to :shaq:

Hayden and Jake Lloyd and Sam Worthington can't act for shyt though

To quote myself:

I got a hunch that Ridley will be following Emma Watson in the sense she'll put her career on the backburner a bit once Star Wars is over (like Watson did post-Harry Potter). And like Watson she got that goofy but classy British girl white vibe locked down so she'll be loved all around the world even if she won't have any noteworthy roles or performances to show for it.

Everybody loves the goofy but classy British girl.:yeshrug:

I've literally never seen Emma be goofy. But apparently Ridley resents the Keira Knightley comparison

:dwillhuh:

Anyway, I mentioned Watson seeing as she was also tied to a franchise notorious for being bigger than its stars, and put her career on the backburner when that decade-spanning commitment was over.

If you weren't already established before doing SW, then chances are.. you probably didn't do so hot after.


Gotta agree I get Emma vibes from Ridley. I think she will get a serious push, but might back off after the new tril is done.
Out of the two.. I see Boyega potentially having the better career.

Boyega most likely will if only because he had that potential as far back as Attack The Block and most people felt he just needed that breakthrough mainstream role. Nobody could've expected that breakthrough to be as sudden and as massive as headlining a goddamn Star Wars movie though. :whew:

I meant on screen.

I want her to go super mainstream and commercial and do rom coms and shyt. Kate winslet and kiera went the super indie route after their blockbusters

Yeah, in her looks and acting she definitely resembles Knightley a bit more. But like I said, I expect Ridley to step off the blockbuster road after Star Wars too.
