> “We were all frustrated,” Soderbergh said. “You know, that was two and a half years of free work for me and Adam and [writer] Rebecca Blunt. When Adam and I discussed him talking about it publicly, I said, ‘Look, do not editorialize or speculate about the why. Just say what happened, because all we know is what happened.’ The stated reason was ‘We don’t think Ben Solo could be alive.’ And that was all we were told. And so there’s nothing to do about it, you know, except move on.”
It’s pretty embarrassing how many Star Wars projects they’ve canned. Like what are they even doing?
It sounds like a project that should have been cancelled before they got that far, if anything. Resurrecting the corpse of a character people kinda liked to squeeze out *another* spin off show does not sound like quality to me
Can’t be more insane and frustrating than green-lighting a trilogy without having a vision for it.
The best part of that entire sloppy trilogy was the 5-10 minutes he gets to be Ben Solo. I dont get why they didnt just make the series about him.
I’m just concerned we’re not going to get anything like Andor again with this new administration at Lucasfilm.
The only good decision Star Wars has made recently.
Ben’s dead. Disney needs to stop resurrecting dead characters just to milk their corpses for a few extra box office dollars—or to cover for a complete lack of creativity and originality. The past’s dead.
Would have at least been interesting to see a Soderbergh Star Wars. Although his style would have worked more for something like Rogue One which is basically a heist movie.
Enough with the fucking skywalker family. They killed it with a shit story and all the characters are dead anyways. Just move on.
So people were annoyed with Palpatine surviving and they wanted to bring back a dead Kylo Ren?
Read the room. What a dumb idea.
Probably went against their actual plans in someway so they didn’t see a reason to explore the project further.
And why would they lose a great director like Soderbergh?
It’s because those movies… they are pulling away from. They don’t have the resonance or long lasting appeal as the orignal trilogies. Those characters are fading away.
Even in the theme park they are going back to Vader, Solo, Luke, Leia.
I think they will just support whatever new is running Mandalorian and Baby Yoda for example.
But then they will fade and other new will replace.
While the core original will always be the main focus long term.
Aside from Soderbergh, nothing about this project sounds good to me and I think Disney was right to axe it. General audiences aren’t going to line up to see a Ben Solo movie.
The sooner we escape the sequel trilogy the better. I don’t want to hunt for any of them
No one cares to „Hunt for Ben Solo“ the sequel trilogy stunk.
Y’all don’t even want to give my Kylo a chance. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Kathleen Kennedy really tarnished her legacy by running Star Wars into the ground.
I’m still pissed at this, Soderbergh is great
That sounds like it could have been good and a hit other than having to retcon Ben Solo’s death somehow. But Star Wars has brought back so many dead characters now I don’t think anyone cares at this point
LucasFilm greenlit it and the executives at Disney cancelled it. I guess the suits upstairs are finally getting tired of LucasFilm losing money.
I mean, did WB ask about the budget for The Flash 2 before deciding it wasn’t gonna happen? The real oddity is that they let a director get this far with what was essentially an internal stunt announcement, while publicly announcing like a dozen projects that never happened.
Frustrating as hell. Sounds like it could have been one of the most interesting things to come out of Star Wars in years
Ben solo… what a stupid name
I mean what would even do in it?
What’s embarrassing is that most of the star wars projects they’ve green lit were absolute atrocities.
Good. Disney needs to stop pouring their money into garbage movies no one wants to see and start investing properly in their declining theme parks.
Maybe the script sucked
At this point they can do what they want. I only consider the OT as my canon. Everything else is noise now.
I would’ve done the same.
Never wanted to use the Donald Glover “Good” meme more in my life
