'It Felt Criminal' — Adam Driver Still Can't Believe How Disney Handled Canceled Star Wars Movie The Hunt for Ben Solo

Adam Driver still can't believe Disney killed his Star Wars movie, The Hunt for Ben Solo, and has now gone so far as to say that the move "felt criminal."

'It Felt Criminal' — Adam Driver Still Can't Believe How Disney Handled Canceled Star Wars Movie The Hunt for Ben Solo

Adam Driver remains astounded by Disney's decision to cancel his Star Wars movie, The Hunt for Ben Solo, which he now labels a "criminal" move. During an interview with AP, the Kylo Ren/Ben Solo actor revisited some of the darker aspects of his past with the iconic franchise while discussing the film's cancellation. The project, which Steven Soderbergh directed, had been in development for years before it was ultimately shut down due to Disney executives not seeing how Ben Solo could be alive.

Despite initial excitement, the film never materialized, and fans subsequently launched a campaign to save it. Soderbergh, who is now working on The Batman Part 2, dismissed the cancellation as "insane." Driver remains puzzled by Disney's choice and is still hopeful that the film may one day see the light of day.
