In late 2025, Adam Driver revealed that he and Steven Soderbergh had spent roughly two years developing a Star Wars spin‑off titled The Hunt for Ben Solo, set after The Rise of Skywalker and focused on his character’s unfinished business and redemption. The disclosure sparked a passionate fan campaign, with supporters funding a plane banner over Disney’s Burbank lot and a Times Square billboard urging the studio to revive the film.
