In a recent interview with Associated Press, Adam Driver shared that he wanted to play Kylo Ren again and had worked with director Steven Soderbergh on a script for a standalone sequel film called The Hunt for Ben Solo. Driver called it “one of the coolest (expletive) scripts I had ever been a part of.” After getting Lucasfilm on board, they pitched the project to Disney — only to have it rejected by Bob Iger.
In December 2023, Driver confirmed that he was done playing Kylo Ren in the Star Wars universe.
Star Wars fans have not taken the news lightly, with #TheHuntForBenSolo trending on social media and several entertainment media outlets covering the story and fan response.
On Thursday, Collider reporter Aidan Kelley was on the scene when a plane flew over Walt Disney Studios in Burbank trailing a banner that says “Save #TheHuntForBenSolo.”

According to Kelley, the stunt “was organized by a small but passionate group of fans furious that Disney scrapped the proposed sequel.”
