Initial thoughts:
Since they would be “hunting” for Ben Solo he wouldn’t actually be in it as much as the other characters, so it might have looked like the Rey movie they’ve already worked on and cancelled (twice?)
People liked him as a villain, and people generally didn’t like the last minute romance, so it’s hard to say that the popularity of the character would be there.
I missed this supposed title somehow. Would it be like The Search for Spock LOL
Had the Ben Solo movie gotten made, I have a feeling it woulda lifted elements from the scrapped Duel of the Fates script (mainly Mortis). On the other hand, maybe it woulda been cool to see Ben have to explore the criminal underworld, and get a taste of his dad’s life.
But it would’ve been about Kylo…

'Steven Soderbergh revealed that his unmade Ben Solo “Star Wars” movie was the first time Disney rejected a completed script for the franchise.
News broke earlier this week that lit the “Star Wars” fandom aflame. Soderbergh and Ben Solo/Kylo Ren actor Adam Driver had been working on a new film focusing on the villain turned hero, titled “The Hunt for Ben Solo.” Unfortunately, Disney passed on the project, but that has not stopped people from trying to learn as much as possible about it.
“Also, in the aftermath of the ‘HFBS’ situation, I asked Kathy Kennedy if LFL had ever turned in a finished movie script for greenlight to Disney and had it rejected,” Soderbergh said. “She said no, this was a first.”’
