Whatever the reason for their departure, and whatever you think of Ron Howard as their replacement, I think it’s safe to say that we (like Donald Glover) are only hoping that this film turns out as well as possible.
It’s worth mentioning that Donald Glover’s comments to THR about the Han Solo drama say nothing about the differing styles of Ron Howard and the Lord and Miller duo.
As the story goes, Lord and Miller reportedly wanted to aim for a more comedic take — possibly to the chagrin of Lucasfilm higher ups.
Following the departure of the original directing team, rumors began to swirl about conflict on the set, as well as vastly different opinions with regards to how to handle the film.
