Because disneywars was a disaster.

Also. Hollywood prefers younger women.

They just use Leo as a scapegoat.

She's not a particularly good actress and kinda lucked out getting cast in SW. Same thing happened to Hayden Christiansen.

If anything, I'd argue Hayden was a better actor then he appeared to be in the prequels and that role kinda hurt him.

Except there are plenty of actresses older than her still getting work in major productions. But I guess any woman older than 18 is "old" to you.

She had a movie released this year that she starred in and produced, and she's going to be in at least three more 2023 movies.

I wouldn't have known this if you hadn't said that that's how unknown and shitty she is

This. Even Ewen McGregor said that "acting" with all the green screen and most of the sets not actually existing was a tough experience. Combined with some poor dialog, and it made Hayden look bad. It is hard to act when you are not even interacting with an environment.

Probably because she spoke out about Ryan Johnson throwing the jj plans for the 2nd movie in the bin. The higher ups don't like that. And Ryan Johnson made them money.

The dialogue was also straight bad. I actually love the story Lucas was trying to tell though, and don't fault him considering he tried to habd off directing.

Yup. And even then, there's times where Hayden clearly looks like he could have been a great young Anakin/Darth Vader. Plenty of times during Revenge of the Sith especially where he's great at conveying raw anger and desperation without even saying anything.

I bet if he got to act out some of the Clone Wars material, we'd get to see him at his best.

Did she get a shitload of money for the sequels? Might go the Daniel Radcliffe route and be financially set for life so just takes roles she thinks would be fun

I know they were hated but they seemed to be financial successes at least

Considering when the movies came out, I think disney's top prioirty was avoiding another robert downy jr situation, so they hired a bunch of WH OMEGALUL's at bargian basement price.

I feel bad for her and I hope they get her for Spider-Woman in the MCU. She said she'd be super down.

She also said she's down for more Star Wars. I think she'll end up just saying fuck it and become the future face of Star Wars. I wouldn't mind. She was one of the few good things about the ST.

Star Wars is a role killer.

The OT, the only actor that went on to have a major career was Harrison Ford. Mark Hamill went into voice acting and Carrie Fischer did more writing.

The PT, the Anakin actors suffered. The only actors that went on to have careers were the ones who had careers already (Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman, etc.)

So the ST follows in their footsteps. Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac continues to get work, but everyone else, phbbtt.

What big roles did she have before Star Wars? Are you just trying to say the sequel trilogy wasnt good and thats why she isnt getting roles? You could just say that. Instead of pussyfooting around what you actually want to say.

Its not like anyone aside from Harrison Ford became stars after Star Wars.

He reminds me of Ben Kingsley. Kingsley played Ghandi, accepted that he was typecast for all eternity, and has since played villains and comedy roles to refute that.

I don't think Daisy Ridley is a bad actress at all, she may just not want to do as many major productions. All the issues I have with Rey lie with the writing, not the acting.

I mean, tbf, this idea that an actor will always be starring in the biggest movies seems strange to me. Rather than bashing actors for only being known for one thing, it should be the opposite. Plenty of people only win world championship, but that's all they needed to win.

What's your idea of "big roles", big budget super hero or action movies? She's still getting work and she's working on some movies that she considers to be passion projects. There are other movies out there that aren't big budget films you know.
