The Hunt for Ben Solo fan movement is heading to the big screen with a special screening of Star Wars: The Last Jedi at The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, California on Sunday, April 26, 2026. According to the official event page, doors open at 6:00 PM and the film begins at 6:30 PM.
This Is About More Than Just a Movie Night
What makes this screening interesting is the campaign behind it.
The event is being hosted by The Hunt for Ben Solo fan campaign, which is tied to the broader Save Ben Solo effort. On its official site, Save Ben Solo frames itself around keeping Ben Solo’s story alive and rallying fan support around his future in Star Wars storytelling. The site also uses the blue butterfly as a recurring symbol associated with Ben Solo in fandom.
That gives this Last Jedi screening a different energy than a normal repertory showing. It is not just fans rewatching a divisive sequel-era film. It is also a community event built around one of the most persistent sequel-trilogy fan campaigns still active online. This is an inference based on the campaign branding and event framing.
Why The Last Jedi Makes Sense for This Campaign
If you are going to build an event around Ben Solo, The Last Jedi is an obvious choice.
This is the movie where Kylo Ren’s conflict becomes central, where his connection with Rey deepens, and where the sequel trilogy really leans into the tension between Ben Solo the person and Kylo Ren the persona. The Frida Cinema’s event listing specifically presents the screening as a special event hosted by The Hunt For Ben Solo.
Where to Get Tickets
Tickets are available directly through The Frida Cinema here: Star Wars: The Last Jedi screening tickets. The venue’s official listing confirms the screening and presents it as part of its special guest programming.
What Save Ben Solo Is Trying to Do
For readers who have not followed the campaign, Save Ben Solo is essentially a fan-driven push to keep Ben Solo’s story in the conversation and advocate for more storytelling around the character. The campaign’s official site positions this as a community effort rather than a one-off hashtag burst, and this screening is one more example of that turning into real-world organizing.
That is also why this event fits so neatly into the larger Hunt for Ben Solo conversation. The movement is not only about online campaigning. It is also about keeping momentum alive through fan events, screenings, and community visibility. That last point is an inference from the event and the campaign’s public positioning.

Ben Solo Fandom Is Clearly Not Done Yet
At minimum, this screening shows one thing clearly: the Ben Solo fan campaign is still organized, still visible, and still finding ways to bring people together around the character.
Whether or not Lucasfilm ever revisits Ben Solo in a major way, the audience pushing for that story is clearly not gone. And for sequel-era fans, a Last Jedi screening hosted by the Hunt for Ben Solo campaign feels like exactly the kind of event that keeps that conversation alive
