The Hunt For Ben Solo Fan Campaign

A B O U T O U R C A M P A I G N

The Hunt For Ben Solo Fan Campaign is a fan collective dedicated to getting Disney to reconsider greenlighting the Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh film, The Hunt For Ben Solo. Through hopeful leadership, imagination, and kindness, we make noise as a means of showing The Walt Disney Company that this "axed" film not only has value, but also a built-in audience waiting with money in hand.

We've had everything from multiple billboards in Times Square to a worldwide missing poster campaign that started right outside of Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California; Through determination and perseverance, our grassroots, boots on the ground efforts have taken Ben's missing poster across 5 continents! It's also been translated into 15 languages and counting and we're just getting started! We strive to be constantly innovative; each month is an opportunity for us to learn and grow, build and nurture community, and make ourselves known through the sensational as we continue our fight for a film that deserves the silver screen. No matter your level of love for Star Wars, we hope you'll join us as we work toward achieving our goal!

On October 20, 2025, the Star Wars fandom was shocked by an interview with Adam Driver by the Associated Press, announcing a secret film that was in the works for the past two years and failed to get the green light from Disney. According to a post made by Steven Soderbergh, this was the first time Disney had turned down a project from LucasFilm that had a fully developed script, including a design sprint made by Bobby McKenna.

Originally, Kathleen Kennedy, president of LucasFilm, had approached Adam Driver with the idea. After coming up with a concept, Driver went to Steven Soderbergh to develop a script. LucasFilm Ltd. executives unanimously loved the script and went on to hire screenwriter Scott Z. Burns, who was paid more than any other screenwriter in LucasFilm history, according to an article by The Playlist. Despite LucasFilm giving the green light to the script, it was Disney executives that turned down the script on the premise of not understanding how Ben Solo could still be alive after Episode IX.

Many have seen Star Wars posts accompanied by a blue butterfly. Ben Solo, in particular, has been associated with those same winged creatures since the release of the animated short series, "Star Wars: Roll Out".

In "Star Wars: Roll Out", the story follows Han and Ben Solo on a mission where Ben releases the trapped critters. Although the series is not considered canon, the motif of butterfly was here to stay. The logo for Bluesky was inspired by the multitude of posts using the blue butterfly emoji.

Blue butterflies have also been used to represent the Force in a Darth Vader comic written by Charles Soule and illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncoli as well as with Grogu in the Disney+ series, The Mandalorian.
