Speaking about how she found the reaction in RuPaul's Drag Race star Nina West's podcast DragCast, Daisy admitted: '[Reaction has] changed film by film honestly, like 98% it's so amazing, this last film it was really tricky.
'January was not that nice. It was weird, I felt like all of this love that we'd sort of been shown the first time around, I was like, "Where's the love gone?"
'I watched the documentary, the making-of [The Skywalker Legacy], this week, and it's so filled with love; and I think it's that tricky thing of when you're part of something that is so filled with love and then people [don't like it].'
Later on, she added: 'You know, everyone's entitled to not like something but it feels like it's changed slightly. I think in general that's because [of] social media and what have you.'
Criticism: The film received mixed reviews from critics and fans and got just 56 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, with many hitting out at how the film undermined Rey's hero's journey
