The discourse surrounding Driver’s tenure as the First Order enforcer shows no signs of cooling. On social media, fans remain split between those who view his performance as a masterclass in acting hampered by weak scripts and those who argue that the character—and the sequels themselves—failed to live up to the legacy of the original films. Critics of the trilogy point to the abrupt conclusion of the Skywalker bloodline as a major narrative failure, while others dismiss the character entirely, labeling him a poor successor to the Sith legacy.
Behind the scenes, the appetite for more Ben Solo persists. Driver recently revealed that he teamed up with director Steven Soderbergh to pitch a project titled The Hunt for Ben Solo. Despite initial interest from Lucasfilm leadership, Disney executives ultimately rejected the proposal, claiming they could not justify the character's survival. When pressed on the project at the D23 event, Lucasfilm’s Dave Filoni offered only vague dismissals, leaving the future of the Skywalker lineage in limbo as the studio pivots toward new stories.
