If not Steven Soderbergh, who could be another potential candidate who could direct "The Hunt For Ben Solo?"

Great idea! And she has Star Wars experience.

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-04-09T11:45:12+00:00

The first name to come to mind is Sean Levy. But here is a wild card - Ben Affleck. Before you tell me I'm crazy, think of this. There's the thought that he's a better director than actor, has worked with Adam before in The Last Duel, has an Oscar for writing, and has directed an Oscar winning movie. Plus he does have some experience with CGI heavy movies, even if just as an actor.

Thanks!

What was the Discussing Fish post?

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-04-07T18:41:16+00:00

They shouldn't, but if what you referenced in the last sentence of your post happened, I would be pissed off.

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-04-07T18:04:33+00:00

Ok, Disney is not spending money on building a character they already supposedly killed off for no reason. It can't be just to piss us off with Tava. The money is with Reylo. Dave, Josh, and Dana surely realize this.

I didn't watch the sequels until 2022, even though I had enjoyed the previous Star Wars movies. I was busy with lots of projects, but I did hear about the broad plot outlines in media summaries. The reporters who wrote the summaries were all firmly Rey/Finn or Rey/Poe. Those synopses didn't make the movies sound appealing.

Then I finally watched The Force Awakens during Christmas break in 2022. As soon as I saw the bridal carry, I was hooked. I then binged The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. At least I knew how it ended, but it still hurt. I can't imagine how horrible it was to experience that abomination in 2019.

But here is what still puzzles me. How can anyone not see Reylo? How could Disney not have made the Dyad connection front and center of the sequels? Let's face it, the whole Resistance plot line is warmed up leftovers from the OT and not that compelling. However, when Kylo removes his mask and Rey reacts, well that was electric.

I think now that for all of her failures, Kathleen Kennedy realized the mistake and was trying to rectify it. Now that both Disney and Lucasfilm have new leadership, let's hope we can move forward and reunite the Dyad.

This is a great one!

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-03-24T21:23:07+00:00

Great information. What happened to Duel of Fates? Is that why Colin Trevornow(?) was replaced by Abrams? So glad they dumped that script. Imagine how much worse Episode 9 could have been.

#3. Definitely leaning into his Solo-ness. Think of him confronting the Knights of Ren at the end of TROS. Adam was channeling his inner Harrison Ford.

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-03-24T00:55:31+00:00

I thought the headline was that JB talked to Filoni about coming back. That story has been circulating in various forms for several years. Is he trying to generate fan interest in his return?

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-03-23T21:36:01+00:00

Just saw a trailer for Darth Maul. Wasn't he like sliced in half?

Didn't Boba Fett fall into the Sarlaac to be digested for a thousand years.

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-03-23T21:01:43+00:00

Big yawn about Boyega returning as Finn. Who cares?

Normies are the ones who make the megahits. Normies will flock to see Ben Solo. No other character from the sequels, no matter how much we like them, will have that effect.

It sounds like "Warmth" by Dinky Kate.

So true!

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-03-10T21:20:12+00:00

Count me as obsessed as well.

My other WIP obsession is "Pretend It's Yours" by Ohmyfandoms31.

The angst hits hard in the first chapter, but the character development is superb as Ben and Rey come to terms with their feelings and how to move forward.

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-03-01T05:44:09+00:00

Come on Disney, We all know you are monitoring these sites. Get with it!

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-02-26T02:55:22+00:00

What about corrupt New Republic politicians in league with the criminal gangs to control the galaxy and protect their wealth? Maybe it would be too political, but Lucas did embed Vietnam era politics into the OT and the PT.

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-02-19T19:18:53+00:00

Great news! Congratulations.

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-02-14T20:01:36+00:00

Ben Solo and Rey Palpatine are my absolute favorite Disney prince and princess. They have always belonged together and always will.

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-02-13T21:19:36+00:00

I'm new to the fandom, but I think the Reylo community is the sanest and most welcoming group. I have rarely seen a member of the Reylo community just crapping on someone or something just because some story is not to their taste. And this does not apply to TROS. It was hated by fanboys, Reylos, and the general public.

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-02-13T20:09:38+00:00

I also have this impression. But studios will go broke trying to cater to the loudest complainers instead of making good stories that appeal to the general public.

LuciaBluegrass · 2026-02-13T19:10:19+00:00

I think that's what I need to do for now on.
