Today news hits that Ron Howard will finish off directing the movie, so what does this mean.
Lucafilms have worked with the director before with the fantasy hit Willow from 1988.
He is a very good director and has great vision and know how to tell a story, this might mean re-writes of the story, and more importantly is will mean a very different sytle.
Production was half way through but Ron Howard will want to put his stamp on the film, he is not a director for hire and I think there will be many re-shoots and we will get a very different movie.
Better? Who know, we never will, but it is good news.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard will assume directorial duties on the untitled Han Solo film. https://t.co/Ki04TAoKEe pic.twitter.com/7LvRyTUt6t
