Star Wars Followers Rally to Save The Hunt for Ben Solo Film

Whether or not it’s on the small or massive screens, a number of tales in George Lucas’ world that just about got here to fruition have turn out to be well-known for not going ahead in the long run.

Only some days after Adam Driver revealed that The Hunt for Ben Solo film was near changing into a actuality, the Star Wars fanbase is making their voices heard, as a airplane with a banner (through Collider) was noticed flying over Disney Studios, with “Save The Hunt for Ben Solo.” Try the pictures beneath of the marketing campaign:

On the time of this story’s publication, Disney and Lucasfilm haven’t responded to the banner’s presence in Burbank throughout the morning on October 23, 2025. Whether or not or not there will probably be any official feedback from the studio stays unclear, as backlash from Star Wars followers has already emerged on-line in regards to the cancelled movie.

The marketing campaign is similar to a whole lot of different fan-driven actions, particularly the neighborhood that rallied for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, after Warner Bros. and Joss Whedon’s retooling in 2017 tried to erase the unique imaginative and prescient that the DCEU director had. Just like Save The Hunt for Ben Solo, #ReleaseTheSnyderCut banners have been flying outdoors the WB studio, with the 4-hour reduce ultimately getting launched on HBO Max in 2021.

Driver informed AP in an interview that The Hunt for Ben Solo film was one thing he and Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy had lively discussions about. The actor had approached director Steven Soderbergh for the Kylo Ren-centered entry, which led to Scott Z. Burns being employed to pen a screenplay.

However the character’s loss of life in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was the final word impediment, regardless of Kennedy responding nicely to the pitch. It was Disney CEO Bob Iger and co-chairman Alan Bergman who struggled with persevering with Driver’s Star Wars future with a solo movie, because of the ending within the 2019 installment.

Adam Driver: We offered the script to Lucasfilm. They liked the thought. They completely understood our angle and why we have been doing it. We took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman and so they stated no. They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that.

Whether or not or not this new push will give the Ben Solo movie a possibility to occur stays to be seen, as Lucasfilm is already engaged on quite a few upcoming Star Wars films for the franchise. However on the planet of Hollywood, there have been many shocking developments for scrapped tasks.

Driver’s Star Wars film might get renewed curiosity from studio heads, particularly after the actor revealed to the world what virtually occurred after the sequel trilogy. That is now producing a giant response from viewers members, who’re making it clear that they need to see extra of Ben Solo within the Star Wars franchise.
