While anticipation for Star Wars movies are always at a high, Solo has had a rocky path to the theaters.
Solo’s runtime being uniform with the rest of the franchise is probably a relief for some Star Wars fans, who were feeling nervous about Ron Howard’s upcoming blockbuster.
Original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired and promptly escorted off set partway through filming.
Ultimately director Ron Howard took on the role, helping to give some renewed confidence in the standalone film.
