This week, Matt flew solo to react to the breaking news that the Hunt for Ben Solo movie has officially been canceled. He broke down what might have led to the decision, and whether the concept of a post–Rise of Skywalker Ben Solo story made sense to begin with. His take? The story might’ve worked better as a prequel, exploring Ben’s fall rather than his Force ghost era.

Fan responses flooded in, with one standout idea gaining traction—an animated Ben Solo series following his early Jedi training and slow turn to the dark side. Matt loved the pitch and said it could offer the character a second life onscreen.

Matt also discussed the major Acolyte reveal that Qimir was originally planned to be the first Knight of Ren, confirmed by showrunner Leslye Headland and subtly teased in the Galaxy of Heroes game bio.

He wrapped up the episode with a reflection on the Top 10 Star Wars Visions shorts from Volumes 1 and 2, offering personal favorites and suggestions for fans to revisit ahead of Volume 3.

The episode closed with fan reactions to the Ben Solo news and another round of incredible Star Wars fan art picks from the community.
