Part 7/8:
While fans might always cling to the hope of seeing Kylo Ren again, Adam Driver’s recent confirmation makes it clear that his chapter in Star Wars has officially closed. Even though the franchise has a long history of resurrecting characters, Driver seems content to move on. For now, he will not be rejoining the saga, and the likelihood of his return remains slim.
As the Star Wars universe continues to expand under new creative leadership, fans will have to accept Driver’s decision and look forward to what new stories the franchise can offer without him. His departure possibly marks the end of a controversial yet compelling character arc, and it’s perhaps best for the actor and fans alike that he moves forward into new projects.
