Soderbergh and Rebecca Blunt worked with writer Scott Z. Burns to create a script after they got the approval from Kennedy, Lucasfilm vice president Cary Beck, and Lucasfilm chief creative officer Dave Filoni. Driver called it \u201cone of the coolest (expletive) scripts I had ever been a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe presented the script to Lucasfilm. They loved the idea. They totally understood our angle and why we were doing it,\u201d Driver said. \u201cWe took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman, and they said no. They didn\u2019t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He continued, \u201cIt was called \u2018The Hunt for Ben Solo\u2019 and it was really cool,\u201d adding, \u201cBut it is no more, so I can finally talk about it.\u201d Soderbergh gave the publication his own statement, adding, \u201cI really enjoyed making the movie in my head. I\u2019m just sorry the fans won\u2019t get to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">\u2018Star Wars\u2019 Is Moving On Without Ben Solo<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Although Driver indicated that the project was dead in the water, fans immediately started creating petitions left and right, demanding that a Ben Solo be made. Although Lucasfilm has already greenlit a movie for Rey, it appears that fans are more interested in seeing Driver back on screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Many have already pointed out that there are many, many ways to bring someone back to life in the \u201cStar Wars\u201d universe, as it has already been done with Darth Maul, Asajj Ventress, and Emperor Palpatine (although the \u201csomehow Palpatine returned\u201d line has been mocked for so long, it makes sense that Iger might get cold feet about resurrecting yet another character).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Here\u2019s the thing, though. Ben Solo died and faded into the living Force. While Disney could probably use some Force dyad handwaving to explain how he returns, what would be the point? Many fans have expressed hope that Ben Solo would be wandering through the galaxy, correcting injustice where he saw it, as an attempt to make reparations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Who Else Will Be Held Accountable For The First Order\u2019s War Crimes?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But there\u2019s a problem with that. If the New Republic got wind that Ben Solo was alive, wouldn\u2019t they want to capture him? Maybe that\u2019s where the \u201chunt\u201d part of the title came from, but it\u2019s important to remember that Kylo Ren was complicit in the destruction of the Hosnian System. With Captain Phasma, General Hux, and Supreme Leader Snoke gone, there is no one else to take accountability for the billions of lives lost.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The comics go into more detail about the devastation that Kylo Ren caused on Naboo and Coruscant that don\u2019t need to be shown in the movies (it\u2019s a war, lots of civilians die, we get it), but the New Republic (if there is anything even left of it at this point) is going to want a very public trial to show that the threat of the First Order is really gone. With everyone else dead, Kylo Ren is the only person they have left.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At that point, after a public trial, there are only a few options: incarceration, execution, or rehabilitation. Given the amount of power that Ben Solo possesses and the nature of the crimes that he has committed, it is doubtful that anyone would be in favor of rehabilitation (besides the audience). Rey might advocate for him, but in the long run, no one really knows who she is, and her word might not count for much.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Bring Ben Solo Back To \u2018Star Wars\u2019 As A Force Ghost<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Instead, there is a way to bring Ben Solo back: as a Force ghost. He already died. There is no magic hand-waving required here. The audience already saw him fade into the living Force. He didn\u2019t appear with Luke and Leia on Tatooine, but it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see him make an appearance when Rey decides to start up her own Jedi school, as many have expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If anything, a Ben Solo movie could bridge the gap between \u201cStarfighter\u201d and Rey\u2019s Jedi movie, showing Ben Solo make a journey through the living Force in his quest to become a Force ghost. So far, it is unclear how exactly Jedi move on and become one with the Force. This movie could help bridge the gap, expand the lore of the Force, and continue to flesh out Ben Solo\u2019s journey of redemption.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">What Would Be The End Game For Ben Solo?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If Adam Driver wants to return to a galaxy far, far away, it\u2019s clear that many fans will welcome him with open arms, but Disney needs to be careful with how they treat the character. If they resurrect Ben Solo for one movie, it means that he now exists in the timeline yet again, and it leaves the question of what will happen to the character from there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Maybe it\u2019s enough for some fans to say that he is just wandering around the galaxy, waiting to pop up again if there\u2019s trouble like an Avenger, but there has to be some sort of endgame for the character. Will he settle down with Rey and start a family to keep the Skywalker bloodline going?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I can\u2019t imagine that Poe Dameron (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/theblast.com\/tag\/oscar-isaac\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Oscar Isaac;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>Oscar Isaac<\/strong><\/a>), who was tortured by Kylo Ren in \u201cThe Force Awakens,\u201d or Finn (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/theblast.com\/tag\/john-boyega\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:John Boyega;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>John Boyega<\/strong><\/a>), who probably saw Kylo Ren do a lot worse things than the movie showed as a Stormtrooper, would ever be okay with that.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">John Boyega Does Not Approve Of A Rey and Ben Relationship<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Daisy Ridley and John Boyega pose together at Star Wars premiere\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"1440\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/euscEb81YHJSxakBSa3auA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTE0NDA7Y2Y9d2VicA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/theblast_73\/7335f6cb693dd1da34f4574680f9fa65\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As<em> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/star-wars-actor-john-boyega-110055806.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Blast;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">The Blast<\/a><\/em> previously reported in May 2025, Boyega was asked by a fan if Finn would have accepted a relationship between Rey and Ben if he had lived.

John Boyega\u2019s Finn had a great run in \u201cThe Force Awakens,\u201d but seemed to get less and less screen time with each movie. In \u201cThe Rise of Skywalker,\u201d Finn kept running around with a secret that he wanted to tell Rey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It became like a running joke at a certain point, but the joke didn\u2019t land because, ultimately, Finn never actually even tells Rey his secret: that he\u2019s Force sensitive. This loose thread is so big it seems almost like a rope. It explains how he was able to wield a lightsaber and hear the voices screaming out in terror on Hosnian Prime during the events of \u201cThe Force Awakens,\u201d but it\u2019s never clearly written into the movie. Instead, Disney decided to force fans to seek out supplemental material (like the novels and comics) to try to get an answer to Finn\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Although Boyega has (rightfully) expressed his frustrations with the franchise, it does appear that he would be willing to come back to finish Finn\u2019s story and join Rey at her new Jedi school. While it would be fantastic to see Boyega get his own \u201cStar Wars\u201d movie to explore his Force sensitivity and his past as a Stormtrooper, it seems doubtful at this point.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Where Does The \u2018Star Wars\u2019 Franchise Go From Here?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker UK premiere\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"1440\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/3RELS7fPE_Lslfw5EulNFA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTE0NDA7Y2Y9d2VicA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/theblast_73\/04b954953b90ab159b1c1fc93ba6912e\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The best thing Disney can do right now is to reframe the entire narrative surrounding Rey\u2019s movie, making it not about Rey but about continuing the story of all the underutilized characters from the sequel trilogy. There\u2019s no reason that Finn can\u2019t appear in the movie to explore his own Force sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There\u2019s no reason that Ben Solo can\u2019t appear in the film as well. Perhaps his own journey to becoming a Force Ghost parallels Rey\u2019s journey as she struggles to impart the teachings of the Jedi with what she has experienced herself. This could parallel Ben\u2019s attempt at redemption, as dark side users do not become Force Ghosts. His journey to becoming a Force Ghost can show the journey of his redemption and his attempt to finally reclaim his identity as Ben Solo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Of course, while some fans are hoping for closure with the sequel characters they have been given, others want to move on from the whole mess entirely. Many were frustrated that Mara Jade, Luke Skywalker\u2019s wife in the expanded universe, never made an appearance in the sequel trilogy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While it\u2019s impossible to completely strike the sequel trilogy from canon, one can make the argument that Mara Jade did exist. Maybe they had a child together. Maybe she left Luke for reasons unexplained, and there\u2019s another secret Skywalker Force user out there with a story waiting to be explored.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Or maybe I shouldn\u2019t give Disney any more bad ideas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To kick this off, I\u2019ll admit that I\u2019m a big fan of Adam Driver.
