Before her Star Wars fame, Ridley had roles in episodes of Casualty, Youngers and Toast of London. She also appeared in several short films.

In 2015, Ridley made her Star Wars debut as Rey in The Force Awakens. The film was a huge success, grossing over $2 billion at the box office. It remains the highest-grossing entry in the entire franchise.

Two sequels were released in the trilogy. “The Last Jedi,” written and directed by Rian Johnson. It still earned over $1 billion, $1.3 billion to be exact, but was a step down from the success of its predecessor.

The last entry, The Rise of Skywalker, grossed just over $1 billion worldwide on a budget of $275 million. She will return to the franchise in an upcoming Star Wars film, which will be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.

During her Star Wars trilogy, Ridley took on additional roles in the English dub of Only Yesterday, Peter Rabbit and Kenneth Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express.

After the trilogy ended, Ridley starred in Chaos Walking alongside Tom Holland. Doug Liman directed the sci-fi film based on the 2008 novel The Knife of Never Letting Go.

She then appeared in several indie films including “Sometimes I Think About Dying”, “The Inventor” and “The Marsh King's Daughter”.

Ridley portrays Gertrude Ederle in a new biopic for Disney called Young Woman and the Sea. Ederle was the first woman to swim the English Channel. Jeff Nathanson wrote the screenplay based on Glenn Stout's 2009 biography of the same name. It was directed by Joachim Rønning.

“Young Woman and the Sea” was originally planned for a Disney+ release. However, Disney then gave it a limited theatrical release before coming to streaming.
