'The Last Jedi' spoilers: Daisy Ridley spoiled the movie in tribute to Carrie Fisher?

Rey's actress Daisy Ridley did not even need to lend the force to her fans in order for them to see the future of the "The Last Jedi," as Ridley has spilled that Leia (the late Carrie Fisher) will still be alive by the end of the movie.

During an interview with Glamour, Ridley, in her verbal commemoration for Fisher who passed away last year, said that "The last thing Carrie and I filmed together was emotional for a variety of reasons. It's the end of the film, and all of this crazy stuff has happened. There's this moment that we share, and thinking about it now, I realize that it's going to be really hard to watch. Because it will seem like a goodbye, even though it wasn't at the time. You know, she and I went through a similar thing at different times. She had the most insane life."

This could mean that Leia will be alive when the film ends, perhaps dispelling the rumors and theories that her son Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) will kill her in an attempt to further his dark side repute. Apart from that, it also means that Rey will live to see another day and be a part of the final movie.

Also, Ridley stating that her last scene with Fisher in "The Last Jedi" now feeling like a goodbye despite not being intended as one, could mean that Leia may still return in the final movie, though how the director and crew plan to do that remains to be seen after Fisher's death. 

Neither Ridley nor the executives of "The Last Jedi" have commented on the matter, though fans, as usual, were quick to surmise and form assumptions. For all they know, a new theory may as well be underway from Ridley's quote.

Whether or not Ridley's accidental spoiler holds true will be seen once the "The Last Jedi" hits the theaters on Dec. 15.
