The scrapping of the Adam Driver-Steven Soderbergh ‘Star Wars’ movie isn’t the only place Ben Solo has been wronged.
Fans who expressed rage this week about the scrapping of a potential Ben Solo Star Wars movie starring Adam Driver and directed by Steven Soderbergh can get in line. For years, other fans—and by other fans I mean me—have been hoping to see Ben Solo return in another form, and we too have been denied. I’m talking, of course, about the toy shelf.
Star Wars is famous for making toys of everyone and everything. Seemingly, every character that appears on screen for a second has probably had an action figure made of them. You can get all the creatures from the Mos Eisley Cantina, a surprising amount of podracers, and more Stormtrooper variants than you even knew existed. But when it comes to major characters in the Sequel Trilogy, those have largely been absent. Characters such as Ben Solo.
To date, Hasbro, which is primarily in charge of making action figures for Star Wars, has yet to make a single Ben Solo toy.
