However, the production problems on Solo: A Star Wars Story were many and they were well publicized and were accompanied by a great deal of hand-wringing by the fans.
It’s hard to imagine that at least some of that didn’t make its way through cultural osmosis to the average Star Wars fan.
From the directors being fired not long before production on Solo was set to finish to the rumors about Alden Ehrenreich’s acting, there were a lot of concerns heading into this movie.
Audiences may not have seen a fire, but there was certainly a lot of smoke.
