We could have gotten a Ben Solo “Star Wars” film starring Adam Driver. But Disney CEO Bob Iger and Co-Chairman Alan Bergman had other ideas.

If they didn’t interfere, would it have been good?

According to Driver, the script was being developed by Steve Soderbergh and would follow Solo after the events of Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. Both Driver and Soderbergh felt like Solo had unfinished business at the end of the film.

I agree. Episode IX was a rushed mess because of its unnecessary and embarassing detour in which Emperor Palpatine “somehow” returned to life after being vaporized at the end of Episode VI “The Return of the Jedi.” Episode IX needed a villain, and instead of having Solo AKA Kylo Ren step up into that role as set up in “The Last Jedi,” Disney backtracked into something they thought was safe.

It also robbed Rey (Daisey Ridley) of a proper conclusion. That’s why Ridley has been working on a Rey film to wrap up her own loose ends — if that project ever sees the light of day.

Maybe it was best that “The Hunt for Ben Solo” was cancelled. According to Driver, Iger and Bergman couldn’t understand how Solo could have been alive — despite the fact that that wasn’t a concern when they resurrected Palpatine. And “Star Wars” needs some quality control — like Marvel, it has inundated its fans with too many subpar shows.

But I also trust Driver and Soderbergh. And Solo needed a proper character arc. We don’t get a proper explanation why he turned on screen — how he met Snoke, who seduced him to the dark side, is relegated to a comic book. As is, Solo/Ren’s journey does not get the most out of Driver, who is criminally mishandled in the sequel trilogy.

While I welcome Iger and Bergman’s attempt at quality control, it’s too little too late. I also question why they overruled Lucasfilm CEO Kathleen Kennedy — either you trust her to run the show or you don’t. And if you don’t, it’s time to get someone else to lead “Star Wars.”

There have been peaks and valleys in the Disney “Star Wars” era, but the only consistent thing about it has been its inconsistency and chaos. It has found some stability in shows like “The Mandalorian” and “The Bad Batch,” but continues to be hamstrung by the sequel trilogy, which as a whole missed the mark.

There is still incredible potential for “Star Wars.” But it needs someone at the top who is free of corporate meddling who has a clear vision for the franchise. After a decade at the helm, I’m not sure Kennedy is that person.

It also needs to stop backtracking and reacting to fan backlash. There is no way to make every fan happy and Disney needs to accept that. It needs to focus on making quality products first and foremost — everything else is just noise.
