"What's notable is the volume of excitement from all corners of the Star Wars fandom – not just those who have long defended the sequels."
The time is right for Ben Solo – and the Star Wars sequels in general – to return, writes @BenSTravis.

Not only is it not a good SW movie, it’s not a good movie, period. There are so many plot holes, it directly spits in the face of the movie before it, and it’s purely spectacle over substance.
It also ruins the entire saga by killing off the last Skywalker. Anakin’s sacrifice means nothing. Palpatine succeeded. He decimated the Skywalker line. And while I love Rey, it’s still a Palpatine taking their name after her grandfather destroyed them all, putting the final nail in the coffin. He ruined 3 generations and his progeny lives on with THEIR name
THE HUNT FOR BEN SOLO is “the start of the Star Wars sequel revival,” says Empire Magazine.
“What is notable is the volume of excitement for the film, from all corners of the Star Wars fandom – not just those who have long defended the sequel films from its more hostile factions.
Whatever the discourse over the years, the Star Wars sequels were gigantic hits, seen by millions of people, and largely beloved on release. The story of Kylo Ren – aka Ben Solo – was a huge part of that experience.
Fans have had long enough to miss Kylo Ren – and Rey, and Finn, and Poe Dameron. Their return would be a genuine event.”
The #StarWars franchise is now having its own #ReleasetheSnyderCut moment as fans go all-out to revive the #HuntForBenSolo project that was scrapped by Disney. 🎬 Read more: https://t.co/F7Ex9I4KzQ
Manny Jacinto believes Star Wars needs more romance
“I feel like with a lot of the franchises that we currently have, it’s missing the romance. It’s missing a lot of love and relationships. We have the big fight scenes and the origin stories of these heroes and whatnot, but they don’t really have a relationship with other people. It’s such a weird thing. And that’s why I loved the Qimir and Osha relationship, because we were taking it back to having a relationship in this big world. I think we just need more of that. I think that’s what made the characters and the story more compelling as opposed to just having big fight sequences, which I loved.”
