I just don't get why they picked an actor that looks nothing like Harrison Ford and also looks actually OLDER than he did in Episode 4.
Like, what the hell? Surely they could have found a young Harrison Ford look-a-like in Hollywood. |

Harrison Ford also has a very distinct voice that's immediately recognizable from any other male actor. It's why when you hear Han Solo in the Star Wars videogames his voice always sounds off, because it's a different voice actor playing his character in the games and they can never replicate his voice perfectly.
I don't know what this actor in this movie sounds like, but I have no idea if he can duplicate Harrison Ford's voice tone or mannerisms. I just can't see it. So it's a lot more than his face being wrong for Han, his voice and mannerisms won't be right either. #NotMyHanSolo |

Wow. That is alarming since they've been filming for months.
Now dump Trevorrow. |

I really want to know what happened to cause this with only 3 weeks of filming left. That's crazy for a big movie like this.
Not a great track record for Lucasfilm post Disney acquisition. This is the 3rd director they've canned out of 5 movies. At least they let Gareth Edwards finish filming before they brought Tony Gilroy in. |

It goes to show how much control Lucasfilm has over these Star Wars films, If they see something bad, they find someone else to work on it, and the result is the movies turning out really well. |

Lucasfilm/Disney cares a lot about the quality of there Star Wars films, if something doesn't add up, they will do the changes they need to make sure the movies turn out good, Like what happened with Rogue One when we hear about the reshoots.

This is two SW anthology movies IN A ROW where Disney is letting go/the director(s) leave under shadowy circumstances.

first Josh Trank and now Phil Lord And Christopher Miller, They didn't want to play ball with Lucasfilm, so they were let go, Lucasfilm needs to find a director that is on the same page as them.

This movie should have never been greenlit in the first place. Star Wars fans would never accept anyone other than Harrison Ford as Han Solo.

From Variety:
Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s reputation for writing irreverent, poppy films such as “21 Jump Street” and “The Lego Movie” helped the white-hot writing and directing duo land one of the most coveted gigs in Hollywood — a chance to call the shots on a “Star Wars” film. But their chance to put their stamp on a galaxy far, far away collapsed on Tuesday with the stunning announcement that the pair would be departing the still untitled Han Solo spin-off movie in the midst of production. Their exit comes after months of conflict with producer Kathleen Kennedy, others from her LucasFilm team, and co-writer and executive producer Lawrence Kasdan, and the two directors hired to infuse the “Star Wars” universe with a tongue-in-cheek sensibility. Miller and Lord were stunned to find that they were not being granted freedom to run the production in the manner that they were accustomed to. They balked at Kennedy’s tight control on the set. A person with knowledge of the production said that the chemistry between the directors and Kennedy was never right. “It was a culture clash from day one,” the source said. “She didn’t even like the way they folded their socks.” The source said that while Lord and Miller were supposedly hired for their vision and distinctive brand of filmmaking when it came to the “Star Wars” production, Kennedy did not approve of their shooting style and process of interacting with actors and crew. “They weren’t given the leeway to do what they had to do,” the source said. The duo also clashed with Kasdan, who has been an integral creative part of several “Star Wars” movies, dating back the the 1980 “The Empire Strikes Back.” Like Kennedy, he questioned many of the pair’s directing choices. “Kathy, her team and Larry Kasdan have been doing it their way for a very long time. They know how the cheese is made and that’s how they want it made,” said the source. “It became a very polarizing set.” In statements accompanying news of the directing shakeup, both Kennedy and Lord and Miller alluded to differing visions for the project. “Unfortunately, our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren’t fans of the phrase ‘creative differences’ but for once this cliché is true. We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew,” said Lord and Miller in a statement. Kennedy promised a new director would be announced shortly. It is unclear if and how Lord and Miller will be credited on the movie. Hollywood insiders said their forced departure in the middle of filming was a highly unusual situation. Kennedy said in a statement, “Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we’ve decided to part ways.” The directors did not leave the production voluntarily, but were fired by LucasFilm. The decision comes as the Han Solo film still has several weeks left to shoot, according to another individual with knowledge of the production. An additional several weeks of reshoots have been planned to take place later this summer. It’s not clear who will take over directing duties from Lord and Miller. Tony Gilroy (“Michael Clayton”) oversaw some of the reshoots for “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” However, he will not be directing the Han Solo film, according to his spokesperson. Kennedy had her own ideas about how the film should be shot. In an interview with Variety last year, she said she wanted the film to have “…a heist or Western type feel,” adding, “We’ve talked about [Frederic] Remington and those primary colors that are used in his paintings defining the look and feel of the film.” Some insiders believe that while Kennedy wants to make a splash by hiring young indie directors such as Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”) and Rian Johnson (“Star Wars: The Last Jedi”), she’s ultimately unwilling to empower them to make their own creative decisions. Unlike Edwards and Johnson, Miller and Lord felt they had earned their stripes, having worked extensively in the major studio system. The Han Solo film will focus on the Millennium Falcon pilot’s early days as a smuggler. The film stars Alden Ehrenreich in the role Harrison Ford made famous. The cast includes Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson, Michael K. Williams, and Emilia Clarke. A spokesperson for Disney declined comment, other than to say that the Han Solo standalone remains slated for a May 25, 2018, release date. Lord and Miller’s reps also declined comment. |

Welp, get ready for another souless TFA safe-for-everyone film that gets 100000% on RT when it's actually just a mediocre movie that psuedo intellectuals like "because it's a solid film lol".
Or it'll be a f*cking mess and we can all laugh at it and appriciate it's genuine feel. Like the prequels. |
