Steven Soderbergh Almost Directed a Star Wars Movie With Adam Driver

Another Star Wars project has joined the long list of what-could-have-beens. Adam Driver has revealed that he and acclaimed filmmaker Steven Soderbergh (the guy behind Ocean’s Eleven and Traffic) spent two years developing a post-Rise of Skywalker movie titled The Hunt for Ben Solo. And Disney said no. Speaking to the Associated Press, Driver said the project explored the redemption and survival of his character Kylo Ren after the events of 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker. “I always was interested in doing another Star Wars,” Driver said. “Kathleen [Kennedy] had reached out. I told her — with a great director and a great story, I’d be there in a second. I loved that character.
