The Hunt For Ben Solo fan campaign is still going, and its latest stunt saw a truck circle the Mandalorian and Grogu premiere in Hollywood.
The Star Wars superfans behind the campaign have spent a year trying to convince Disney to make the canceled movie The Hunt For Ben Solo a reality, with various initiatives to keep Adam Driver’s character in the spotlight. Driver revealed that he had been developing the movie for years, with support from director Steven Soderbergh. The fanbase has made efforts like fly-overs of the Walt Disney Studio lot and received positive feedback from Daisy Ridley.
The proposed movie would have followed The Rise of Skywalker, focusing on Kylo Ren's redemption arc. Despite Driver's enthusiasm and Lucasfilm's interest, Disney executives rejected the idea, leaving fans disappointed. However, campaign members like Brianna Johns are determined to keep the momentum going, organizing attention-grabbing events like a mobile billboard truck circling The Mandalorian premiere.
Johns emphasized the campaign's persistence in engaging fans and Disney leadership through various events and initiatives. The ultimate goal remains the same: to see Ben Solo's story brought to the big screen.
Despite setbacks, the fan campaign continues to push for the realization of The Hunt For Ben Solo, showcasing dedication and creativity in their efforts to revive the canceled project.
