While Adam Driver might’ve joked about wokeness killing Han Solo and not him in his “Saturday Night Live” monologue, the actor who caused trouble in the galaxy for an entire trilogy revealed he really did get tired of the fan outcry for something he had no say in. Besides Driver openly talking about how he found “Star Wars” exhausting, he also recalled on “The Rich Eisen Show” the backlash that came from snuffing the iconic smuggler: “In the premiere, I was worried ’cause people were watching it for the first time, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, they’re gonna riot, and they’re gonna be like, “There he is” and “Let’s get him!”‘”
The actor, who was already having an incredible career, admitted that while it might’ve died down now, “Star Wars” fans didn’t let him forget his controversial Kylo Ren scene for a while. Driver said to Eisen, “For a while, a couple years afterwards, [people were] like, ‘Why’d you kill Han Solo?’ [I was] like, ‘I have no choice in this s**t. They asked me to be there, and I stabbed him, and that was it. That was part of the script.'” Thankfully, that was the last time “Star Wars” fans had anything to complain about, and the franchise has continued on without any issues whatsoever.
We know. We can dream, though, right?
