Ruby Sunday's Backstory In Doctor Who Was Inspired By... Star Wars
----------------------------------------------------------------
Showrunner, Russell T Davies, has explained the inspiration for
Ruby Sunday's parentage in Doctor Who.
Ruby's mother was the source of much debate during Series 14,
but Empire of Death, the season finale, revealed that her mum is
Louise Miller, who was 15 years old when she fell pregnant.
Davies said Miller was "from a dangerous home, abusive home, and
left her child on the doorstep", and went on:
"This is kind of my reaction to - bear with me now - the
Star Wars films. I can't remember their titles, but in
the last trilogy, the second film [The Last Jedi] said
that Daisy Ridley was nothing special, there was nothing
special about her parentage. That she just got the Force.
She was just ordinary.
"An ordinary person with the Force - and then [in The Rise
of Skywalker], they changed it all so that she was the
child of the Emperor... She was, like, cosmic and had
godlike powers. And I really loved the version where she
wasn't special. When she's ordinary."
As with The Last Jedi, however, Ruby's parentage wasn't typically
met with a positive reaction; arguably, that's because the mystery
didn't make too much sense - nothing wrong with her just being
"ordinary", but audience's are bound to feel deflated when you
build up such an enigma then give an unsatisfying answer, one that
also flies in the face of some of the previous clues.
So yep, this wasn't the big hit that Davies had hoped for. Then
again, we don't know who Ruby's father is, so maybe if that is ever
unpicked, more will be explained. We doubt it though.
