Star Wars’ Best New Movie Idea Is Officially Dead, Confirms Writer

Steven Soderbergh has confirmed his planned movie focusing on Ben Solo (Adam Driver) is no longer happening. He explained to The Playlist that if the project was going to move forward, it would have. Soderbergh, along with Driver and writer Rebecca Blunt, spent almost three years developing The Hunt for Ben Solo, a story that would have continued the character’s journey after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. While Lucasfilm initially seemed enthusiastic about the idea, Disney ultimately canceled it. Despite some fans hoping for a revival after a change in studio leadership, the writer has confirmed she’s moved on to other projects. Soderbergh adopted a similar attitude, saying that once it became clear the movie wasn’t going to happen, he simply started working on something new, comparing dwelling on it to ‘complaining about the weather’ and emphasizing the need to keep moving forward.
