While promoting season 2 of \u201cBeef,\u201d Oscar Isaac<\/strong> answered questions on \u201cThe Hunt For Ben Solo.\u201d The scrapped \u201cStar Wars\u201d movie was a passion project spearheaded by his \u201cStar Wars\u201d co-star, Adam Driver<\/strong>, and director Steven Soderbergh<\/strong>. Unfortunately, Driver\u2019s character appeared to pass away at the tip of 2019\u2019s \u201cThe Rise of Skywalker,\u201d and although the pitch was approved by Lucasfilm, Disney execs shut down the project after they didn\u2019t understand how Ben Solo could come back to life.<\/p>\n In October 2025, Adam Driver told the Associated Press<\/a> that he \u201call the time was interested\u201d in doing one other \u201cStar Wars\u201d film. After discussing his idea with Kathleen Kennedy, he and Soderbergh set to work on a script that was written by Scott Z. Burns.<\/p>\n The script was seemingly well-received by Kennedy, Lucasfilm vice chairman Cary Beck, and Lucasfilm chief creative officer Dave Filoni. The \u201cMarriage Story\u201d actor called it \u201cconsidered one of the good (expletive) scripts I had ever been a component of.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe presented the script to Lucasfilm. They loved the concept. They totally understood our angle and why we were doing it,\u201d Driver said. \u201cWe took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman, and so they said no. They didn\u2019t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that.\u201d<\/p>\n While promoting season 2 of \u201cBeef,\u201d Isaac appeared as a guest on Josh Horowitz\u2019s \u201cJoyful, Sad, Confused<\/a>\u201d podcast. While a lot of the interview addressed his role within the hit Netflix series, he was also asked just a few questions on his \u201cStar Wars\u201d character: Resistance pilot and leader Poe Dameron.<\/p>\n While Isaac hinted that he was \u201cpossibly\u201d open to reprising his role in a future movie, he revealed that he didn’t know anything about \u201cThe Hunt For Ben Solo\u201d when the ill-fated script was brought up in conversation.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, I didn\u2019t read it,\u201d Isaac said. \u201cI had nothing to do with it.\u201d<\/p>\nWhy Was \u2018The Hunt For Ben Solo\u2019 Scrapped?<\/h2>\n
