In this episode of Hyperspace Hangout, we dive into the mystery of the cancelled Star Wars project known by fans as The Hunt for Ben Solo. Why was Lucasfilm developing this story? What was it supposed to explore? And why did Disney quietly shelve the idea just as it was gaining traction?

We discuss what the project could have meant for the sequel era, why fans were excited for a deeper Ben Solo arc, and whether Disney abandoned it to focus on safer, more familiar projects instead. Did shifting agendas, creative uncertainty, or internal priorities kill this storyline before it ever got started?

We break down what we know, what we think happened, and why it might be time for Lucasfilm to return to Ben Solo’s story in a meaningful way.

Join us as we share our reactions, theories, and predictions for one of the most anticipated Star Wars projects in years.
