It's what I said months ago: Mandalorian and Grogu trailer has zero stakes or emotional pulls.
A Ben Solo film would have that instantly.
I have watched the Predator Badlands trailers many times more than the Mandalorian and Grogu teaser.

I certainly hope the Mando movie is good because the teaser only promises the equivalent of "Next time, on The Mandalorian" TV episode.

I love the Mandalorian, but the film doesn't film-worthy

The "merchandise sales" things cracks me up. Other than The Mandalorian, the only merch for other series has been a few shirts and figurines. I never even saw a single Skeleton Crew figure at Walmart or Fred Meyer.

And that show was a family oriented. At some point Disney tapped out on even trying

in all the excitement I overlooked this part, PUTTING ASIDE how popular reylo and Ben Solo are, they really said no to Soderbergh’s low budget and economical directing style??? No one has ever been as Bad at Business as Bob Iger 💀💀💀
I've seen few people talk about Mando and Grogu. Even on Star Wars Leaks Reddit, people are just, "oh looks interesting I guess". There is no feverish excited buzz.

Only buzz about Starfighter is Mia Goth and Matt Smith being in this.

The two biggest missed opportunities of the sequels are both ideas that could still work post-TROS with a bit of creativity:

1. Active and extended Ben Solo redemption.

2. A stormtrooper rebellion led and/or inspired by Finn.

Disney execs need to get off YouTube and listen to actual creatives.
"Women don't buy toys"
Y'all gave up on interesting Star Wars toys ages ago, how many Stormtroopers do we need?

Still waiting on a Nala Se.

But I digress. Stop being afraid of Ben Solo, of Reylo, of the Acolyte. These fans are devoted, Dudebros care only about clicks.
At some point, show runners and film creators can't ignore female fans, queer fans.
Fandom is novels, purses, fun plushies, Hallmark ornaments.
Then movies were made. Spock was killed -- the most popular character!
Then he returns and movies continue.
Star Trek merchandise is no longer just toys. It's fan shirts, collectible ornaments and plates (something women were collecting).
As the daughter of a Trekkie I will always know how Star Trek was "for the boys" but then those damnable muddled aged women fell in love with Spock and slash and made fanzines.

Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh going hog fucking wild in Star Wars without disney breathing down their necks would’ve brought world peace, who the fuck cares if it retcons the worst movie of the 2010’s
Adam Driver says he was developing a new Star Wars movie ‘The Hunt for Ben Solo’ with Steven Soderbergh

• Set after ‘The Rise of Skywalker’

• Lucasfilm loved it, but Disney said no — “They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive”

"It was one of the coolest fucking scripts I've ever been a part of'
Don't forget Twin Peaks back in the 90s. He didn't understand great writing back then, insisted the mystery had to be solved going against Lynch's entire idea and purpose for the series.
Steve Soderberg wrote it! Why does Bob even need to ask? It's written!

it is funny how much studio executives dislike making money
whelp, I’ll be thinking about the Steven Soderbergh movie about Ben Solo until the day I die, I guess. we could’ve had it all.

What a movie that would have been. I think it would have been fitting and hopeful for our present time.
That Lucasfilm wanted this gives me hope that the next CEO will give the greenlight.

Iger has made bad creative decisions for years. Maybe it was him that wanted Ben Solo to die in the first place. Neither Abrams nor Terrios ever seemed to say why they chose death for his character.
