Justice for Daisy Ridley!
We’re less than two weeks from the release of what could be the last blockbuster of the decade: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Given how much Episode IX is about to rake in at the box office, we thought we would research the Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker cast’s salary to find out how much Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver and other cast members are making from one of the most well-known franchises in movie history.
Though some cast members have mixed feelings on how the films have changed their life, Ridley explained that the end is still bittersweet. “It feels strange when we’re in a group doing things and people ask us how it feels because then you’re like [as if in pain] Oh!

The gap was referred to as a “legacy pay scale.
Boyega, who plays Finn in the franchise, was in the same boat as Ridley when he signed on for The Force Awakens in 2015. According to Variety, the newcomers made low six figures between $100,000 and $300,000 for the film. Their salaries are expected to raise for the franchise’s later installments, so it wouldn’t be surprising if Boyega made closer to seven figures for the upcoming Rise of Skywalker. As for his net worth, Celebrity Net Worth reports that the actor is in the $6 million range.
