Adam Driver recently shared that he and Steven Soderbergh dedicated two years to developing a script for a sequel focusing on the character Ben Solo. Titled "The Hunt for Ben Solo," the project garnered significant effort, including a script from Scott Z. Burns and Jules Asner.

The next "Star Wars" film, "Star Wars: Starfighter," is slated for release on May 28, 2027.
