I noticed the official Star Wars YouTube channel made a playful jab at the story that’s been circulating this week – the one about a Ben Solo movie Disney apparently decided not to make. It seems they’re acknowledging the buzz and having a little fun with it.
Disney recently shared the intense fight scene between Rey (Daisey Ridley), Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), and Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on their YouTube channel. Although the clip isn’t new, it was released shortly after some major announcements for the Star Wars franchise.
Adam Driver recently shared in an interview with the Associated Press that director Steven Soderbergh pitched a movie focusing solely on Kylo Ren, set after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. Driver called the script “one of the coolest” he’d ever seen, but Disney’s Bob Iger ultimately rejected the idea, believing it wasn’t possible for Ben Solo’s character to have survived the ending of the film.
How are Star Wars fans reacting to the clip upload?
Star Wars fans immediately pointed out the amusing timing of the video’s release. In the YouTube comments, many playfully mentioned other Star Wars movies or joked that it was an intentional prank.
Fans reacted strongly to recent developments regarding Ben Solo, questioning whether it was a deliberate tease after comments made by actor Adam Driver. One fan asked if it was a joke, while another referenced a line from Qui-Gon Jinn about everything happening for a reason. Many believe it’s no coincidence, and are urging Disney to approve a proposed film idea from Driver and director Steven Soderbergh that would have followed Ben Solo’s story.
Following the recent news about Ben Solo, many fans expressed their desire to see more of the character, with one user pleading for his return. While fans clearly want to see Adam Driver reprise the role, it doesn’t seem likely Disney has plans to bring him back at this time.
