A Star Wars fan campaign, \"The Hunt for Ben Solo,\" has erected a digital billboard in Times Square to urge Disney to approve a solo film for Ben Solo, played by Adam Driver[1]. This initiative follows reports that Disney executives, including Bob Iger, rejected a potential Ben Solo project due to uncertainty about his return after \"The Rise of Skywalker\"[1].
