Hi everyone, I’m Kyle. If you know me from anywhere it’s probably Star Wars Twitter.

Star Wars is a big focus but I also post about my family, other movies/tv, politics, & my amateur astrophotography.

I finally decided to ditch the other place & I’m digging the vibes here. See you around.

Very late to the party but banana peppers have really transformed my sandwich game.

The first one charmed the heck out of me during covid so this is great news.

Until recently I still believed the Dems were answerable to the base on some level but I see now they don’t serve anyone but themselves and the people they imagine to justify their actions. They all gotta go.

Nobody accidentally gets a tattoo like that and if they did we definitely shouldn’t trust their judgement. With all the other red flags it’s time to ditch that guy and move on. Surely there’s a non-septuagenarian who isn’t a mess they can find in the whole state.

I’m looking forward to hearing about the Oceans style heist of The Hunt for Ben Solo script from Soderbergh’s house by a crack team of Reylos in like 18 months. Godspeed.

Kathleen Kennedy I’m sorry I ever doubted you. Bob Iger and Alan Bergman now I already suspected you killed the Acolyte and now I know you killed a Ben Solo movie from Soderbergh. You have made me an enemy for life.

A ‘Star Wars’ near-miss
“I always was interested in doing another ‘Star Wars,’” says Driver, who starred as Kylo Ren in the trilogy kicked off by “The Force Awakens.” “I had been talking about doing another one since 2021. Kathleen (Kennedy) had reached out. I always said: With a great director and a great story, I’d be there in a second. I loved that character and loved playing him.”

Driver says he took a concept to Soderbergh for a film that would take place after 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker.” That movie culminated in Ren’s redemption and apparent death. Driver had undertaken the trilogy with an arc in mind for Ren that inverted the journey of Darth Vader. As the trilogy evolved, it didn’t play out that way. Driver felt there was unfinished business for Kylo Ren, or as he was known before turning to the Dark Side, Ben Solo.

Soderbergh and Rebecca Blunt outlined a story that the group then pitched to Kennedy, Lucasfilm vice president Cary Beck and Lucasfilm chief creative officer Dave Filoni. They were interested, so the filmmakers then pulled in Scott Z. Burns to write a script. Driver calls the result “one of the coolest (expletive) scripts I had ever been a part of.”

“We presented the script to Lucasfilm. They loved the idea. They totally understood our angle and why we were doing it,” Driver says. “We took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman and they said no. They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that.”

“It was called ‘The Hunt for Ben Solo’ and it was really cool,” adds Driver. “But it is no more, so I can finally talk about it.”

Soderbergh, in a statement, said: “I really enjoyed making the movie in my head. I’m just sorry the fans won’t get to see it.”

Representatives for Disney and Lucasfilm declined comment.

It’s been a period of transition for the feature-film operations of “Star Wars.” Kennedy, the longtime Lucasfilm president, is expected to step down by the end of the year. After a feature-film lull, numerous projects are in various stages of development or production including Jon Favreau’s “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” Shawn Levy’s “Starfighter” with Ryan Gosling, a film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy featuring Daisy Ridley returning as Rey, a James Mangold-directed movie and a new saga helmed by Simon Kinberg.

Big turnout today. The highlight was a surprise speech from Ayman Soliman a local imam imprisoned by ICE for 73 days. His courage is an inspiration to all of us to fight, because we can win against the odds. Also tons of visitors to our local DSA chapter’s table was a huge win. Solidarity forever.

One weird positive of it being so apolitical is that the organizers seem to pretty receptive to letting any group interested to table or speak so I think it is having an unintentional benefit of exposing people to a lot more leftist orgs than if this was an Indivisible event. But we’ll have to see.

For everyone out there protesting today of course stay safe, but more than anything enjoy the shared sense of community with so many like minded people. There are more of us and we are gonna win.

Went to an early Halloween thing tonight with the fam. Shout out to the kid I saw dressed as Porco Rosso, your parents have got taste.

Condolences for your loss.

NIN’s soundtrack is the major selling point. You can see the love for the previous 2 movies in there & it has a couple fun ideas of its own but really falls flat in comparison. Leto absolutely doomed this thing. He’s lifeless. More Greta Lee & Jodie Turner-Smith though. See you in another 15 years?

Love trying to replace my video doorbell, having to spend 20 minutes finding the specialty tool that came with the old doorbell just to remove it because they changed the set screw size on the new version, then get it installed only to discover that I need a new doorbell transformer too. Madness!

RIP to Drew Struzan. One of the best to ever do it.

My two cents about No Kings 2 is that yes the protests alone haven’t changed anything but I think not attending if you’re able squanders a big community organizing opportunity. People are looking for direction, if you’re part of an org or just solo this is a great place to be visible & connect. 1/3
