Poor Daisy Ridley.

While filming a remake of Murder on the Orient Express, she's been subjected to constant grilling from co-star Josh Gad about what secrets she knows about the new Star Wars films.

After she refused to tell Gad if her character from the current Star Wars saga films, Rey, is a Jedi, Gad then enlisted screen legend Judi Dench to pester Ridley into dropping some hints.

Which also failed.

So, Gad has gone back to the well one more time, and now he's unloading the big guns.

This time, he's enlisted a murderer's row of stars including Express co-stars Leslie Odom, Jr. (Aaron Burr from Hamilton's original cast), Lucy Boynton (Sing Street), and Penelope Cruz. Oh, and there's also Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and two guys working on Star Wars Episode IX, Colin Trevorrow (the director) and Derek Connolly (the screenwriter).

And then, that last guy...

According to Gad's Facebook post, this is his last attempt at getting Ridley to spill the beans on Star Wars secrets so, to you, Daisy, I say, congratulations on keeping it close to the vest and feel free to shoot us an email with all the spoilers you won't tell Josh.

But really, if J.J. Abrams doesn't know these secrets, we may never find out for ourselves.
