Adam Driver has said he wanted to revisit his Star Wars character, Kylo Ren, as early as 2021, feeling the story wasn’t fully resolved. He shared an idea with director Steven Soderbergh, who, along with Rebecca Blunt, developed a story outline and presented it to Lucasfilm. Lucasfilm executives Kathleen Kennedy, Cary Beck, and Dave Filoni were enthusiastic about the concept, leading Soderbergh and Blunt to bring in Scott Z. Burns to write a script Driver called incredibly impressive. Unfortunately, the project was ultimately cancelled, as the actor recalls.
