Although she is a skilled singer, she says it's one of her worst habits. During the production of Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015), she once lost a bet with J.J. Abrams that she couldn't go an entire day without singing.

For a scene in Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), she had to practice a complex series of lightsaber movements, which, according to stunt coordinator Liang Yang, would usually take three days to get right. However, Ridley managed to learn them in only 90 minutes.

Found out that got the part in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) while she was at the theatre with a friend. Before the play started, she received an e-mail and a voice mail from J.J. Abrams, who asked her if she could call him. When she did, he said that she's gonna be in Star Wars; an information that made her speechless and excited. Right after the call, she went back to the theatre where the play had already started, and she had to sit through it without telling her friend what just happened.

One of her very first parts was a short appearance in Toast of London (2012), where she played a stagehand. Matt Berry really wanted to bring her back to the show, but he couldn't get in touch with her. This was because at the time, she has been recently cast in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) and therefore was temporarily unavailable. Berry expressed his delight in her casting, and admitted that his show really couldn't compete with Star Wars.
