So they hired an obvious hack, pretty predictable. Not sure what the anons ITT mean by praising him, but Howard isn't better than Brett Ratner at this point.

He directed Willow and Lucas wanted him to do Phantom Menace before he and the rest of his buddies told him to do the Prequels himself.

This is like that one episode of Entourage where they change directors on some movie set and the guy who comes in to direct is a total good goy who socks the studios D

I still argue Willow is his best movie. He managed to make a fantasy starwars movie set in a DnD world and movie actually worked, using a fucking midget no less as main protag.

There is literally no reason that Willow can't be part of Star Wars continuity. Disney owns it. Ron Howard should thrown in a line to reference the baby girl as the Queen of whatever planet that was.

UNDERRATED POST

He will provide the most normie point of view Star Wars could ever have. There's nothing nerdy about him at all, he's just like those regular "fans" that think A New Hope was the best movie and that's about it. Basically he's gonna make another TFA. I don't think he cares about the lore or the Star Wars Universe or anything.

>>84181209

I don't think anyone really cares about the movie either

>>84178983
Best case scenario: origin story in the sense of a 50s car-heavy teenage rebellion movie ala Americans Graffiti, which is both in character and in the director's experience

All a father, all any father can do is say Han, I'd stay home and raise good strong children on our family farm and live for God, but we all need to find our purpose, and he told me, Go To Hell and left for good, which is what great sons do."

>Skywalker" is the English translation of the sanskrit word "Daikini", which is the name of Elora Danan's species in the film. Both Anakin Skywalker and Elora Danan are individuals who are the subject of a prophecy to overthrow an evil enemy. Whether this similarity in naming was intentional by Lucas is unknown.
Based on concept art in the book The Art of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the Jedi uniforms for the prequels were at one point going to resemble Madmartigan's battle attire.

>>84181527
It does NOT. It instead has a group of strong feminist women.

>>84181490
:^)

But seriously, Abrams nothing to do with those others. He collaborated with Speilberg once, but only had a brief chat with Lucas and has never worked with Coppola. He's more in company with the music video generation of directors like Fincher and Bay, and even that's really pushing it. John Milius (Conan, Red Dawn) would be more in line with the other 70s directors.

>No art style at all man directing Star Wars film
which is why I'm excited about him inheriting a movie where the art style and tone were already set by the Lego guys.

And he's a good actor's director. And apparently the problem is that the guy playing Han is fucking garbage and the directors hated him. So they're bringing in a close friend of George and Harrison Ford that has been acting and coaching actors his entire life.

Wasn't 80% of the movie already filmed? What were Lord/Miller doing so wrong that Disney had to fire them this late in the game?

>>84179078
yes he's a safe choice but makes weird movie choices time from time

talking about the The Dilemma

>>84182393
Lord and Miller auditioned that actor before anyone else. Then after auditioned hundreds more actors, and went with the first guy the saw. I doubt they hated him.

So when was the last time a director was very publicly kicked off of a movie in mid-production? The 1996 version of The Island of Dr. Moreau? Back in 2015 there were lots of rumors that Josh Trank was kicked off of F4nt4stic 4 and replaced by Simon Kinberg but Fox refused to confirm anything.

>fire directors of 21 Jump Street and Lego Movie

So does Disney want this one to be less quippy?

They technically had like 20 days left of principle photography left, plus an additional 40 days of budgeted and scheduled reshoots.
>What were Lord/Miller doing so wrong that Disney had to fire them this late in the game?
the official behind the scenes line is that their production style wasn't meshing with the Disney machine. That they clashed on how to run a set and where too used to low budget and fast paced shoots and where rebelling and shit?

Doesn't actually seem that unlikely. The only movies they had done practically where like the Jump Street movies. Where people stand around LA and make jokes. They may have been out of their league.

Kind of sucks that Ron Howard likely gets to come in as a closer to wrap up their project, if it doesn't end up sucking. If did bail because it was shit and Han is terrible then good for them collecting those checks and bailing 2/3rds of the way through without the credits.

>>84178983
He's going to recast Khaleesi with his daughter, right guys? R..right?

>>84182630
The studio probably hated him, they probably fought for him, being then he ended up being shit, so the studio fired them maybe.

>"stop trying to suck my dick, Artoo!"

if they keep their names on for Director credit, then they get millions in residuals. Seems like they were forced out. If they formally request to have their names removed, I think the rules say it has to be given the credit "An Alan Smithee Film" kek

>>84183026
He removed his name from some extended tv cut he had nothing to do with.

>>84182901
I mean it may have mutual. And what their contract stipulates for the residuals and shit is generally dependent on completing the production contract, not their credited name.

My question is why the hell the producers weren't doing their jobs. How do you get 3/4th done with filming before realizing you don't like the direction a movie is taking?

What can he do at this point? The last guy left for creative differences, that means Disney knows what they want and they won't have time to fuck around on rewrites.

I love Ron but I have a bad feeling about this.

The expanded universe was a massive, convoluted mess. Most of it was shit and it had already filled in most of the holes surrounding key characters and what happened after Return of the Jedi so they had to throw it out. If they had kept it they wouldn't have been able to make a sequel trilogy.

https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2017/06/what-our-sources-are-saying-about-the-star-wars-han-solo-shakeup.html

>For anyone who’s worried that the actor playing a young Han Solo isn’t taking his role seriously, rest easy – Ehrenreich one of the most important people involved with the project who voiced his concerns about the project at a crucial moment in the movie’s development, which means that he’s absolutely committed to bringing his A-game to this role. Ehrenreich’s performance has been described to us as being an interesting new take on Han that stands out on its own while still honoring the essentials of the character, and that it’s a worthy interpretation of the iconic scoundrel.

>And this is why Ehrenreich had concerns with the production as filming progressed. He started to worry that Lord & Miller’s screwball comedy angle was starting to interfere with what the character of Han Solo is really about – even if this was a younger, more reckless take on the character than the one we met in that Cantina on Tatooine. One source described it as being oddly comparable to Jim Carrey’s performance in Ace Ventura at times. Ehrenreich let his concerns be known to one of the producers, who then told Kennedy about it, which led to her decision to look over the existing footage (which is also a normal part of the production process, but this is where things get interesting).
