KEVIN POLOWY: In defending, I guess, his favorite Star Wars actor Gina Carano recently, Texas Senator Ted Cruz seemed to take a shot at Rey--
DAISY RIDLEY: Did he?
KEVIN POLOWY: --saying Gina's character-- He was-- Yeah. He said she was not some, quote, unquote, emotionally tortured Jedi.
DAISY RIDLEY: Hilarious.
KEVIN POLOWY: I was going to ask you if you had any response to that but apparently you did not see that.
[LAUGHS]
DAISY RIDLEY: I did not know and I'm very happy to be an emotionally tortured Jedi who doesn't leave their state when it's having a terrible time.
KEVIN POLOWY: Speaking of chaos walking.
DAISY RIDLEY: Yes.
KEVIN POLOWY: Those pictures of him coming back from the airport.
DAISY RIDLEY: From Cancun or whatever. Yeah.
