Was young Han Solo going to be styled after Ace Ventura?
As if the very mention of “screwball comedy” weren’t enough, the source went on to say that Lord and Miller’s portrayal of young Han Solo was like Jim Carrey’s Ace Ventura at times.
Alrighty then, say all you want about it being okay to take young Han Solo in a comedic direction, go ahead and defend the directors of The LEGO Movie and 21 Jumpstreet, but Ace Ventura mixed with Han Solo?
Sources close to the project say that Miller and Lord were approaching the character of Han Solo in a more comedic approach, which didn’t sit right with many people, specifically young Han Solo himself, Alden Ehrenreich.
