I remember Ridley didnt really know how to end it, Weaver said of the film.
And he thought hed keep on shooting until he figured it out.
But they told him he had to finish in three days.

It all happened so fast.
It was total improvisation.
Its fabulous to be around a group of people who are single-handedly trying to tell the best story possible.
Giving all their particular skills and we just about made it.
So hes taken about five years to write them.
Luckily, theyre wonderful.
And I think the saga is only going to get more fascinating.
Weaver also dug into what she believes her career has lacked over the years.
In my experience, one thing Im really missing is women directors and writers, she said.
That was true for a long, long time.
