Even when the world is on lockdown , the franchise found a way to provide some wholesome content for its fans. This week, actress Daisy Ridley (a.k.a Rey) read a Star Wars book in a video posted to the franchise's Twitter account to thank those in quarantine, as well as healthcare workers.

Please accept my tiny offering of gratitude in the form of storytelling," she wrote in a caption accompanying the video. The actress read the children's book, BB-8 On the Run, which takes place in the same timeframe as The Force Awakens (the first film in which Ridley appears in). The story itself follows BB-8 as he's separated from Poe Dameron and must obtain a map for the Resistance.

Ridley is one of several celebrities who've thanked healthcare workers in recent weeks. Earlier this month, TV doctors and nurses thanked their real-life counterparts in a video to help raise donations for first responders.

"... Id see headlines and be like, Oh my god this is so upsetting.' So its been tricky, but then its having that thing of I feel really proud of it and Im so thrilled to be part of it."
