News Adam Driver tried to bring back Kylo Ren with the help of Steven Soderbergh

Oh grow up. That isn't funny, it has never been funny. It's childish.

Agreed. I'm not exactly a fan of the man's work either, but that sort of stuff belongs in a middle school playground.

I don't want to grow I'm a Toys R' Us kid..

Given this, the idea of Ben Solo not really being dead is something that we can't dismiss out of hand

I can, and I did.

Even if they didn't understand it I think it's weird how they couldn't have worked something out. Everyone else was behind it, it seems like smart money. I'm not wrong in saying that Ren is more popular than Rey am I? Great actor wants to return as Darth Vader's grandson, why not jump on that?

TFA: basically undoes all of the OT. People are mostly okay with it.
TLJ: undoes much of TFA. A lot of people grumble.
TRoS: undoes much of TRoS. Nearly everybody complains.

So, when Driver went to Iger and said, "Hey, I have an idea! Why not undo the ending of TRoS/the whole Sequel Trilogy we just finished?" ... Yeah, that doesn't sound like a great move to me.

We're talking about a mass murderer of a character here, who already got his redemption in sacrificing his life force for Rey. What the hell more is there to tell?!

If this was the kind of thing they had in mind for Ben, fair enough... but I suspect it wasn't.

And of course they already had the opportunity to show us Ben's ghost standing next to Luke & Leia at the end of IX, but they declined... for whatever reason.

Don't lump your childish behavior with Toys R' Us kids (spoken as someone who is also not a fan of Abrams).

You could say the same about Vader. But look how they milked that.

 

[Ithekro]

Vader was around for a bit longer. Ben Solo might be able to have adventures, but post-Saga, Force Ghost only route knowns to be possible.

Look at how he was handled in the old EU. He appeared to Leia in a dream once, his voice spoke to someone else another time, and that was about it, wasn't it?

Vader definitely overstayed his welcome.
