Here’s why a Disney Star Wars movie for Ben Solo was never going to fly.

The internet is all abuzz with the talk about Disney Star Wars passing on a Ben Solo movie written by Adam Driver and Stephen Soderbergh. The working title was “The Hunt for Ben Solo”. Star Wars fans are up in arms about Disney passing on the film after supposedly saying that they loved it.

But Disney also said they didn’t see how Ben Solo could have survived. That’s where the comedy starts but this post has the actual reason there won’t be a Ben Solo film. The Hollywood writers reason anyway.

So, here we go. Here’s my opinion as to why Disney passed on a Ben Solo Star Wars movie: No one likes Ben Solo. They may like Adam Driver, but Ben Solo is irredeemable. As a character he sucks. He killed his dad. He killed Han Solo for god’s sake. That’s a bridge too far. I know they tried to save his character in the 3rd shit show movie, but guess what? I can’t stand this Ben Solo guy. He killed Han Solo! The end.

Whoever, at Disney allowed the killing of Han Solo to happen on screen and with such finality should be kept away from the movie business forever. They suck. No matter what the actor (Harrison Ford) wants. You DO NOT KILL HIM! I’ll never get over it. It’s making me angry just thinking about it. And sadly, it’s Adam Driver who did the deed on film. So… nope. No movie for you. Unless you planned on finding out Han Solo was alive! There’s a movie! But as for Ben Solo? Nope.

And I have to think the Ben Solo character didn’t test well, nor did it sell much merch. Again: Not Driver’s fault. The writers of the Star Wars shit show trilogy fucked up beyond comprehension. It’s hard to image a bigger fuck up than what was allowed to happen with Star Wars. Sad.

And here’s a big tip for everyone who’s never been in a studio pitch meeting: They always “love it”. Always. That’s what they say to your face. Then once you’re out of the building the knives come out. In this case it was the lame excuse of “We don’t see how he could have survived” LMAO! Well, I don’t see how Star Wars producers survived after killing the franchise, yet here we are.
