British actor Daisy Ridley recently opened up about her experience filming 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' without franchise staple and late actor and comedian Carrie Fisher. Ridley recently spoke about her time on set, calling Fisher's absence "difficult". Ridley not only lost a friend and co-star after Fisher suffered a heart attack in 2016, but in order to complete the most recent 'Star Wars' trilogy, Ridley had to film scenes that would be spliced together with unused footage from 'The Force Awakens,' reported British GQ as cited by Fox News.

The 27-year-old actor said in the interview: "It was definitely difficult, it was emotional doing it because you're also weirdly picturing her. You're not picturing how the scene is going to be." Ridley also said she never brought up Fisher's death with co-star Mark Hamill, who had known the actor for 40 years before she passed away.
