Star Wars: Could Ben Solo RETURN? Star speaks out on playing younger version

Responding to one fan who asked if anyone else thought Wolfhard would make a good young Ben, he said: “It’s not just you, I would love to do that.”

However, the actor had to contend with the fact the Skywalker saga just came to a conclusion, along with Ben’s story.

“But the series just ended,” he continued. “But, you know, I’m a free agent.”

Getting slightly mixed up, confusing Lucasfilm for Marvel, the Stranger Things star went on to pitch himself to Star Wars bosses.
