A recap about THE HUNT FOR BEN SOLO

• Rian Johnson: “Take my money”

• Daisy Ridley: “It’s wonderful”

• Adam Driver: “One of the coolest f’ing scripts”

• Steven Soderbergh: 1st LFL film Disney rejected

• Kennedy/Filoni: “Loved” script

• Joonas Suotamo: “love to see it”

There's nothing more ironic (and frustrating as a Star Wars fan) than Bob Iger not greenlighting The Hunt for Ben Solo because the heads of Disney do not actually believe in fairytale magic, love, living redemption, resurrection, & happy ever after for Star Wars. 🤨 #thehuntforbensolo

A promotional poster for a fan event reads: “Meet Up! The Hunt for Ben Solo Fan Campaign Meet Up.” It announces gatherings in Anaheim and Orlando on December 14, 2025, at Downtown Disney and Disney Springs, with RSVP instructions via Discord. The design includes snowflake icons, a blue sky with clouds, and illustrated images of the Disneyland and Disney World castles at the bottom. The “Ben Solo Lives” logo appears near the bottom center.

REMINDER:
Join the IRL meet ups for #TheHuntForBenSolo at Anaheim & Orlando on December 14th ❄️

Extra, extra! Read all about it! #TheHuntForBenSolo fans to gather on both coasts! #BenSoloLives

(more details below)

I have found Soule's writing and the way he keeps Kylo stagnant to be very infuriating and, yes, boring. I understand he's stuck in the one-year window before TRoS, and he has to get/keep Kylo in the mindset of how TRoS had him, but ffs, it's dull and unimaginative at best.

gods, thank you. I have been thinking this the entire time!

Oh, that is brilliant!!

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

Ben Solo LIVES, let the hunt for him begin, and may the Force be with us all.

SAVE THE HUNT FOR BEN SOLO 🦋

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
ADAM DRIVER! 🎉

Happy 42nd birthday to The Unpretentious, faithful, persevering, compassionate Adam Driver. The depth & richness of his thoughts & views. Never seen someone unique as him.

Are you ready for Ben-uary? A whole month dedicated to Ben Solo, with daily drawing prompts for fans to celebrate Ben!

Let’s make January extra Ben-tastic! Grab your pens and let’s create! #reyloevent #benuary #reyloevent2026

Save Ben Solo Day November 19th.

Bring your blue lightsabers and wear your Ben Solo or Kylo merch! We'll meet at his ship for the last show of the day at 6:30.

Important details: This will be at Batuu East (Hollywood Studios) but if anyone wants to make a West Coast version I would love to see that! Don't bring signs since they're banned by Disney, and please keep the event positive! I just want to show how many people still love this character and want him to return in the future. @firstorderempress

Save Ben Solo Day is Nov 19th! @firstorderempress on tiktok is planning a meetup in Batuu East (Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida). Please help spread the word! And if anyone wants to organize a West Coast event that would be awesome too!

I think this year we all wish Adam the same thing - to make #TheHuntForBenSolo as he intended :D
Here's my art for the occasion. It always baffled me that the character with so much potential was barely developed in the movies, there's still so much I'd love to learn about him!
#gizart

I'm always surprised when I read so often people wondering how Ben Solo could come back from the dead. This is SW, where Palpatine cloned himself, Maul became a spider, and there's a world between worlds. It's space fantasy.

48 years ago, Obi-Wan's voice guided Luke through the Death Star trench. 😅

She will find him!
