Rey would hate Daisy Ridley's dream lightsaber
Watch Next

Daisy Ridley, perhaps better known right now for her lead role as Rey in the Star Wars franchise, has a surprisingly un-Rey choice of lightsabers.

Chatting with Elle UK while building a Lego Millennium Falcon, The Last Jedi actor said if she could customise her own lightsaber, it would be pink and glittery. Really?

Ridley also talks a little about her struggles with becoming a "chea-gan" — that is, a "cheating vegan," in her words. And that despite her starring turn in the huge Hollywood franchise, her dad remains a staunch Trekkie.

Oh, but she finishes her Lego model in admirable time. Rey would be proud.
