    Kennedy is a boss.
    If she were a male, she'd be George Lucas with how she's handling these projects. Oh wait...

    KK knows how huge a risk it is to make this move. She's basically gambling her position as head of LF on this move: it isn't one she would have made lightly. I'm not claiming it was the right move: I don't think we have enough information to make that call. However, this should be kept in mind.

    One thing that might provide some indication in the near future is if we get news that studios who had been considering L&M to helm some project suddenly become squeamish about them. If so, it could suggest that behind the scenes, they are now perceived as having been unreasonable. On the other hand, if another studio jumps at the chance to sign them on to some other project, it could indicate that they're perceived to have been the wronged party.

    Of course, even such developments would only be imperfect indications of what has happened behind the scenes. It seems more likely that years or even decades will have to go by for a good film historian to uncover how all this went down...

    Getting a solid and proven successful director like Howard to right the ship was a good move, especially with his long ties to Lucasfilm. He definitely has the clout and respect that the production crew and actors can get behind. It will be very interesting to find out just what he and lucasfilm will change from Lord and Millers version.
    But at the same time I will be crossing my fingers that it all works out and we get to see a great movie about our favorite Nerfherder...

    Totally agree. And I expect good things from everybody, as usual. Last two films have been great, in my opinion, and I have no doubts about TLJ's quality, so I'm feel good about this film, even though I've not yet gotten excited about it the way I am for TLJ. Of course, I wasn't really that excited for R1 either, until it got a bit closer.

    If that's the case then why would the directors be fired

    I never though the two had anything to do with it. I thought they were fired for going off script, doing improv and just taking the movie away from what Lucas wanted.

    I dearly hope this is true! I'm rooting for Ehrenreich: he has the potential to be a great leading man, and personally, I think he oozes all the charm and charisma as a young Harrison Ford.

    I am a bit to late in this leghty discussion but I would like to ask something.

    Do we have any information will Han Solo film be a one-time action ( happening in one same time period , like all other Star Wars films so far) or will it be made of chapters depicting different phases of Han's life, like childhood, teen age, grown age...?

    I believe there's only one actor (Alden Ehrenreich) currently playing Han rather than multiple actors (teen actor ect) so I expect it to be a one-time action like Rogue One.

    Unless they're hiding information from us...

    One grown actor.
    What if there is a teenege actor and child actor drafted to, is there any information a such have been drafted?
    Also, is there any glimpse of Harrison Ford moving around that film?
    (talking to all the people)

    If there are multiple actors then it would be through the one movie and not multiple and the film takes places as little as a couple of years before ANH so I doubt we would see Harrison Ford

    Anyone know if there's been any talk or rumors of moving the release from May to a later date?
