During a recent interview with IGN about her upcoming zombie thriller, We Bury the Dead, the outlet asked Ridley how much she knew about The Hunt for Ben Solo, a former rejected Star Wars project backed by Adam Driver, Steven Soderbergh, and Rebecca Blunt. “I knew a piece of it. I heard rumblings,” Ridley shared. The actress then added, “I have lots of friends who are crew, so things always travel like that. But, whoa! When the story came out, no, I was like, ‘Oh, my God!’ And it was him(Driver) that said it, right?”

Not too long after that, Ridley went on to appreciate fans for coming together as a fandom and trying to bring the project to life. “I do love when there is a collective of positivity. The way the internet seems to have rallied to try and get it to happen. I think it’s fantastic for us all.” The Star Wars actress, speaking of Driver’s Kylo Ren, remarked, “It’s good for us to all be united about something in a really positive way. Obviously, everyone knows he was a very popular character, but it was also lovely to think, ‘Wow, people really, really care and want this.'”

“I like when people join forces — excuse the pun — from all around the world, all different sorts of people,” Ridley added. “I just love that the Star Wars fandom is such a huge and gorgeous array of different points of view and different people, and the fact that everyone is really behind this thing, I think, is just sort of lovely, in a time that is so f***ing nuts for probably every single person on this Earth.”
