As the internet mourns Steven Soderbergh's scrapped Star Wars movie, it looks like the filmmaker was working on his Ben Solo project as recently as 10 months ago.
According to the director's 2024 viewing and reading diary on his 'Soderblog', he watched The Phantom Menace, Return of the Jedi, and Attack of the Clones in February last year and The Empire Strikes Back in September. In December, he finished off the year with Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope (twice), and rewatches of both The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. Fans have compared this to his previous Star Wars viewing habits, and let's just say 2024's output was significantly higher than previous years.
