It\u2019s been just over a year since Adam Driver first revealed that he and filmmaker Steven Soderbergh had tried to make a Star Wars<\/em> movie further exploring his character, Ben Solo. Tentatively titled The Search for Ben Solo<\/em>, the pair brought the idea, script and all, to Disney executives, who turned it down.<\/p>\n

In the year since, Star Wars<\/em> fans everywhere have dissected and discussed the idea, both what a Ben Solo movie could be and Disney\u2019s reaction to it. Some fans even took things a step further, buying billboards and other physical marketing tactics in hopes of letting Disney know this is a movie we all want.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the good news. For the first time publicly, Driver acknowledged that he saw and appreciated the passion of the fans. \u201cThe fan response to it was pretty incredible,\u201d Driver told Rich Eisen earlier this week. \u201cI didn\u2019t expect that it was going to be billboards and people flying planes over Disney and things like that. That was pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bad news is, despite that, it\u2019s almost certainly not going to happen. Earlier this year, Soderbergh said that he\u2019s moved past the project and, in this same recent interview, Driver basically said the same. \u201cYeah, it\u2019s over,\u201d he said. \u201cNo more Star War<\/em>s. We tried\u2026 It was awesome. It was really cool. I don\u2019t get to decide. If they wanted to, fine, but it\u2019s not our call. I think the ship has sailed, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently, Driver harbors no hard feelings with Disney, however. Driver will soon be seen returning to the House of Mouse to play Mister Sinister in the 2028 X-Men<\/em> movie.<\/p>\n
