Judi Dench Interrogates Daisy Ridley About Star Wars Secrets

02/08/2017 09:29 pm EST

Daisy Ridley cannot get a break these days. Sure, the actress is riding high professionally thanks to her leading Star Wars role, but her co-stars on The Orient Express will not give her rest. Josh Gad started a single-handed crusade to make the British starlet spill secrets about Star Wars, and the actor enlisted help today to persuade Ridley to spill the beans.

Spoiler alert: It didn't work.

Over on Facebook, Gad uploaded a video he filmed of Dame Judi Dench interrogating Ridley about her Star Wars future. The iconic actress can be seen sitting demurely in a trailer whilst draped in a black scarf. Ridley stays quiet when Dench begins her onslaught, and the actress' British accent makes her all the more formidable.

"Have you been tested for midichlorians?" Dench asks to silence. "Is Snoke Palpatine? Are you the last Jedi?"

Getting nowhere, Dench then asks a scandalous question about Rey's relationship with Kylo. "What's the deal with Reylo?" And, when she still gets nothing but silences, Dench asks a final question: "Why don't you answer my damn questions?"

Of course, Ridley kept quiet about her part in the Star Wars franchise. If the actress could go Force-to-Force with a prying Kylo Ren, then Ridley could deal with Dench's piercing gaze.

Earlier this week, Ridley even got to practice her poker face when Gad ambushed the actress about her sci-fi franchise. In another video, the actor attempted by pry secrets about Star Wars from her by way of a fake movie script.

"Who are Rey's Parents?" he asked, reading bogus lines from blank papers. "Am I a Jedi? Is Finn paralyzed from the waist down?" Ridley read out. "Then it says, 'you answer honestly.' So you can just practice right now and serve all of my que - all of Ken's questions."

Unsurprisingly, she didn't take the bait.
