Production issues are starting to become a tradition at Lucasfilm: Rogue One went through plenty of intensive reshoots, and this week, we learned that the directors for the Han Solo prequel film were fired because they thought they were hired to create a comedy. The chair has now been given to Ron Howard, who is famous for a number of classics such as Apollo 13 and Backdraft – although I would argue his best work to be Bryce Dallas Howard.
“At Lucasfilm, we believe the highest goal of each film is to delight, carrying forward the spirit of the saga that George Lucas began forty years ago,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “With that in mind, we’re thrilled to announce that Ron Howard will step in to direct the untitled Han Solo film. We have a wonderful script, an incredible cast and crew, and the absolute commitment to make a great movie. Filming will resume the 10th of July.”
