Daisy Ridley won't even tell freakin' Judi Dench what 'The Last Jedi' means

To be fair to him, this time Josh Gad really tried his best to extrapolate from Daisy Ridley a few answers to the lingering questions about the next Star Wars instalment, The Last Jedi.

His first attempt, at the end of January, resulted in an epic failure.

This time Gad, who is best known for his voice acting as Olaf from Frozen and is starring with Ridley in the upcoming film Murder on the Orient Express, enlisted living legend Judi Dench for his deed.

As Ridley enters the trailer, she finds herself grilled by a very serious Dench, in Star Wars fancy dress:

"Have you been tested for Midichlorians? Is [Supreme Leader] Snoke Palpatine? Are you the last Jedi? What's the deal with Rey-Lo?" Dench says.

Naturally, Ridley knows that any reaction she has would be closely scrutinised by Star Wars fans across the globe. Very professionally, she just gives a poker face to each question.

To which Dench replies: "Why don't you answer my damn questions?"

The video cuts off with Ridley finally agreeing to spill all: "OK," she says.
