A few days ago Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilms fired the directors of the Han Solo movie Chris Miller and Phil Lord. After Lord and Miller?s termination, multiple directors were circulated as possible replacement names for the project. Ron Howard led the way, and was eventually chosen as the man to lead the way to the end of principle photography. Howard confirmed his involvement in the film with a few tweets. Howard took to concours-twitter.htm">twitter and said expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to shape the Star Wars universe. He claims he's been a fan since the day the first Star Wars film opened. Howard also said "I hope to honor the great work already done & help deliver on the promise of a Han Solo film."
