In the video Ridley can be seen wearing a pillowcase over her head, to keep her hairstyle a secret from prying eyes and from viewers on Instagram. She revealed that she had to run to the gym “between different set ups,” as she wasn’t sure if she’d have time to work out on Friday.

“Eid Mubarak,” Ridley added in her post. Commenting on her post, many of the fans said that they find her video inspirational, and the fans also appreciated the efforts of the actress. “Secrecy queen,” she wrote about herself in the post.

Meanwhile a report by Movie Pilot suggests that Darth Maul could be back in “Star Wars: Episode 8.” The report points out how Lucasfilm has built connections to the animation series from the franchise and the live action movies. The upcoming spin-off movie “Rogue One” will mark the return of Saw Gerrera, a character from the “Clone Wars” series.

The “Clone Wars” animated series featured details about the background of Darth Maul and his brother. In the TV series Darth Sidious battled his old apprentice, but allowed him to live in the end, as he had some “uses” for him. Will the fallen Sith Lord return in “Star Wars: Episode 8”? Fans will have to wait for the movie to be released to find out.
