‘Star Wars’: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega have incredible reactions to ‘The Force Awakens’ trailer

Just because you are actually in a movie doesn’t mean you necessarily know how it is going to look. It’s possible that Star Wars: The Force Awakens actors John Boyega and Daisy Ridley hadn’t seen some of the completed footage until last night’s final trailer and they sure acted like it.

The two young new stars of the franchise posted short videos of their reactions to the trailer on Instagram. Boyega showed himself at home, watching the Monday Night Football game with a friend. The trailer got him so excited that he jumped over his couch.

Ridley’s reaction was a bit more subdued. She was in bed, watching the trailer on her phone. A friend filmed her watching it as she teared up. “Staying in a little b'n'b with my friend... Set an alarm to watch the trailer... My friend filmed my reaction,” she wrote. “Totally emotional seeing it for the first time and so so so incredibly awed to be part of this incredible legacy.”

Ridley stars as Rey and Boyega is starring as Finn.
