Actor Adam Driver played Kylo Ren in the new Star Wars trilogy, but don’t expect him to return to the sci-fi series anytime soon. He said on the SmartLess podcast recently that he’s aware that Lucasfilm is producing more Star Wars content, “but not with me.”
Driver went on to say, “I’m not doing any more.” Asked if he was finished with Star Wars because of Kylo Ren’s death in The Rise of Skywalker, Driver confirmed that is indeed the case (via ScreenRant).
Before this, Driver discussed how Kylo Ren’s arc in the new Star Wars trilogy was not originally set to unfold the way it did. In the finished movie, Kylo Ren refined himself as Ben Solo. But the original plan was for Ben to lose himself as the sith lord more and more throughout the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
