Daisy Ridleydoesn’t take any of her time spent makingStar Warsfor granted.
Speaking with PEOPLE aboutBaba Yaga, a new immersive virtual-reality experience (now available on Oculus Quest), the British actress, 28, reflected on concluding her run in the intergalactic franchise, which ended with 2019’sTheRise of Skywalker.
“When we wrapped [TheRise of Skywalker] I wept all day,” she tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “I felt like I was going to pop a vein because I was crying so much.”
The actress starred as Rey in the most recent trilogy, which wrapped up the Skywalker saga. The ending ofEpisode IX: The Rise of Skywalkersaw Rey take on the Skywalker name and head off on unknown adventures.

That doesn’t mean the door is necessarily open for Ridley to explore them in the future.
“I think for me the beauty ofEpisode IXis it ends with such hope and such potential,” Ridleysaid in a recent interview withIGN. “I just feel like that was Rey’s perfect ending. The big battle was in Episodes VII, VIII, and IX. I think really she’s probably running around the forest somewhere having a great time [following the events ofThe Rise of Skywalker]. I feel totally, totally satisfied with how that story finished.”
As forBaba Yaga,which co-stars Kate Winslet and Jennifer Hudson, Ridley marvels at how far technology has come to tell stories.
“I hadn’t really been part of anything like that before,” she tells PEOPLE. “It’s up to the audience and the viewer as to which route it goes down. It’s a really compelling, inclusive storytelling.
