Please Play The Hunt For Ben Solo

Will The Hunt for Ben Solo be shown?

By: Jake Rajala

Ben Solo is undoubtedly one of the most intense, assertive characters in Star Wars. We all remember him sadly slaying Han Solo or opting to get into fights with Rey. Furthermore, he thought he took down Luke Skywalker. He also isn’t the first character to try and turn a young Jedi. The most critical part of Ben should be remembered him sacrificing himself for Rey at the end of “Rise of Skywalker”. With that said, there is a lot of disagreement if he should be seen alive or dead.

Well, the Disney CEO Bob Iger doesn’t appear to have the same energy for him being seen as alive as fans or other Star Wars heads. He doesn’t understand how he could still be alive after he sacrificed himself and faded away in “Rise of Skywalker”. This is their opinion, despite Lucasfilm loving the piece.

Steven Soderbergh created a film called, “The Hunt for Ben Solo”. It was written by Scott Z. Burns. Sadly, Iger pulled the plug on the project. Let it be known that it’s the first Lucasfilm project with a completed script to be rejected by Disney.

This made Star Wars fans furious once they heard the news. According to “Collider”, fans made a billboard in Times Square to plead their energy for the project to come back. Take a closer look at it below.

In my opinion, the only thing I don’t like about it, is that it’s not big enough.

Personally, I’d love to see the film on a billboard in Los Angeles. I saw a “Queen’s Gambit” on an LA billboard and it forced me to watch the show.

Let’s not forget that fans made a plane with a sign saying “Save the Hunt for Ben Solo”. Take a closer look at it below.

The past Star Wars projects (Rise of Skywalker) was an abomination and “The Last Jedi” was even far less liked than other Star Wars film in the 21st century. Although, we can agree Rogue One was well-rounded. This Star Wars film could help heal the wound left by the prior two films.

With “The Hunt for Ben Solo” potentially out of the picture, this will leave the following films expected to be shown in the future. “The Mandalorian and Grogu” in 2026, “Star Wars: Starfighter” in 2027.

The best Star Wars projects are somewhat unconventional. Adam Driver at the helm of a Star Wars film would be more unique than a J.J. Abrams piece. It’s safe to say he’s overstayed his welcome.

I would love to see George Lucas’s opinion on if this project should have the green light. It may be wise for him to get a sneak peek of the piece and speak with the main actors to see if they are bought in emotionally to the script.

Just as Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi returned for TV shows, I believe it would be wise for Rey to be involved and Adam Driver to be cherished in a show. This could help Star Wars fans decide if they are ready for a long motion picture of Driver.

Will Daisy Ridley return to Star Wars?

Will Ridley return to Star Wars soon?

Daisy Ridley is one of the most gifted actresses. At 33, she has an infinite amount of potential. She has really dazzled in Star Wars thus far. When she chose to not sell BB-8 for a plethora of food and when she used the force against Kylo Ren, she has shown to be of high character. With that said, the question begs to ask: will Daisy Ridley return to Star Wars?

The Star Wars celebration in 2023 confirmed her return to the Star Wars franchise.

Disney has announced that Ridley will return. However, it may be a few years. According to “Parade”, the new Rey movie will return in 2027 or 2028. The film is called, “Star Wars: A New Jedi Order”. As noted in the Parade article, “The Mandalorian and Grogu” will hit theaters in 2026, and “Star Wars: Starfighter” will be on the big screen in 2027.

She is one of the most down-to-earth and reliable characters, similar to Luke Skywalker. There just isn’t a chance she will turn to the dark side, even if Kylo Ren tries very hard to do so. I would love to see her in deep love with another character, just as Han Solo and Princess Leia were.

Rey is one of the most beloved Star Wars characters. Her passion is affectionate. It’s also hard to not love John Williams’s score, “Rey theme” of her in “The Force Awakens”. Rey is one of the best characters and it would be a massive mistake to not have her lead in a film. I look nothing but of sincere interest in seeing her in a couple of years (which is too long away for me).

Star Wars: A New Hope will return to theaters

Star Wars: A New Hope will return!

By: Jake Rajala

The mythical Star Wars film, “Star Wars: A New Hope”, was revolutionary when it arrived in theaters in 1977. It became more popular than the fellow space film. “2001: A Space Odyssey”. The film brought in a domestic box office total of 307 million. The film has garnered a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score. Furthermore, 90% of Google users admire the piece.

With that enunciated, I want to tell you: “A New Hope” will return to theaters in 2027 to honor its 50th anniversary!

This is very exciting news. Everybody loved when “Revenge of the Sith” came back to theaters in 2025. It’s quite poetic that the fourth Star Wars film will show after the third one.

Of course, the re-release is still a bit in the distance. We still have to see Star Wars: Starfighter before that.

It’s also still very exciting that adults who watched the film as children can return to watch it on the big screen once again. I would say that watching Star Wars on the big screen is more fun than a Christopher Nolan movie!

Hopefully, “Empire Strikes Back” follows in the footsteps of “A New Hope” within a few years. Not only does it come after a New Hope, but it is arguably the best Star Wars film.

It’s easy to remember “A New Hope” with the crew getting together, but it’s also John Williams’s best work, as well. His music with Luke looking into the suns is extremely impressive.

The first Star Wars film nearly came out 50 years ago, but it is still connects everyone and is worth re-watching for every type of audience. I can’t wait to grab my skittles and watch it on the big screen for the first time as a Gen Z.
