Adam Driver: Hunt for Ben Solo ship has sailed — 'no more Star Wars'
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
On The Rich Eisen Show, Adam Driver said his Kylo Ren days are done: "It's over. No more Star Wars." He and Steven Soderbergh spent about two years on The Hunt for Ben Solo with Scott Z. Burns and Rebecca Blunt, but Disney's Bob Iger and Alan Bergman passed because Ben Solo is dead. Asked if a future studio team could revive it, Driver left the door ajar then shut it: "If they wanted to, fine… I think the ship has sailed." He still tipped his hat to the billboards and plane banners fans flew over Disney.
Ship sailed for good — or would a new Disney regime still pull Driver back?
