Adam Driver really wanted to play his Star Wars character Kylo Ren again—and even got Lucasfilm on board for a sequel to 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker to make it happen.

But it didn’t pan out, as Driver told the Associated Press Tuesday, even though he had even found a director for the film in Oscar-winning Black Bag auteur Steven Soderbergh.

The Hunt for Ben Solo, as it was tentatively called, was “one of the coolest f---ing scripts I had ever been a part of,” Driver told the outlet. “It is no more, so I can finally talk about it.”

Driver played Kylo Ren/Ben Solo in all three of the Star Wars sequel trilogy films. “I loved that character and loved playing him,” Driver explained. “I always was interested in doing another Star Wars. I had been talking about doing another one since 2021.”
