Overview
- The project remains shelved with no indication Disney will revisit the decision, as public fan efforts grow more visible.
- Supporters flew a plane over Disney’s Burbank lot on October 23 with a banner reading “Save #TheHuntForBenSolo.”
- A Times Square billboard appeared on October 25, purchased by fan B.D. Neagle, featuring messages like “Ben is alive!” and the hashtag #THBS.
- Another fan has posted “Missing” flyers for Ben Solo near Disney’s headquarters, seeking to rally support for the film’s resurrection concept.
- Driver and Soderbergh say Lucasfilm informally backed the movie and hired Scott Z. Burns to write it, but Disney leaders Bob Iger and Alan Bergman rejected the pitch, which the creators described as handmade and character‑driven.
