The Hunt for Ben Solo: Adam Driver's TROS Fix-it

It's been a hell of a week for Ben Solo fans.  In a recent AP interview, our fav Adam Driver dropped an atomic bomb on the Star Wars fandom: he had been secretly working on a Ben Solo movie for two years. Titled The Hunt for Ben Solo, it took place after The Rise of Skywalker and would have explored the mystery of what might have happened to Ben after he disappeared into the Force. The worst part? Disney execs Bob Iger and Alan Bergman had said no.  In this episode we take break down the drama, including our theories for why Adam released this information now, plus the amazing efforts that Star Wars fans are going to try and get this movie made.  Do you think a Ben Solo movie was a good idea? Are you also sticking pins in a Bob Iger voodoo doll? Find us on social media [https://linktr.ee/thenerdsawaken] and let us know!
