Meh. I’ve always found Howard’s films to be rather bland.

He can't do worse than Rogue One.

nah. No one knows Boba by his face, they know him from his helmet. if Snake Eyes can go w/o showing his face, so can Boba. Also, if they really felt the need to show his face, they could do the Iron Man HUD thing... but again, that wouldn't be necessary seeing as Boba is known by his helmet.

Everyone knows Boba Fett's face, because we all know he is a clone of Jango Fett. Him having the helmet on or off is irrelevant to the character's mystique.

imo, its just everyone trying to save face...

Lord and Miller left to go work on the Flash movie so all involved just came up with the usual creative diferences excuse

im not worried about the film though

They left the Flash movie project years ago, if you remember (for this project.) Don't get your hopes up.

This has been quite a 24 hours, to say the least. It's surprisingly late in principal photography to make a switch like this, though; something lit the fuse that finally blew this up. Can't think of anything similar except Richard Donner getting relieved of directing duties when he was mostly done shooting Superman II in the late 1970's - the film would take much longer to come out with Richard Lester as the new director. Yet Lucasfilm still believes they can keep the deadline? 😬

I would have liked Joe Johnston as the replacement, being a former Lucas protege, but Ron Howard is a safe choice to pick up the pieces.

whether or not anyone likes ron howard (i do) this is obviously an operation in turd-polishing, and he's not a magician. i hope they're just treating the side films like georgle lucas treated his, and not being as careless with the main saga.

He was a longtime ILM employee, designing much of the VFX in the original trilogy as an art director (He also designed Boba Fett) before making his directing debut in 1989 with Honey I Shrunk The Kids.

Apparently Lord & Miller were trying to depict Han as a wacky jokester rather than a scoundrel with witty quips.

Not going to get over that are you?

Seems like both of them are going back to The Flash movie.

^ If they don't the Flash movie will never happen.

So did anyone know there was a comic adaptation of one of the rough drafts of the original Star Wars (A New Hope) that shows what the characters would've looked like before the final draft, and Han Solo was basically a space smuggler version of Swamp Thing? Would be funny if we suddenly had a movie or something of that Han.

I know about that one, It was from Dark Horse

and most of the stormtroopers had lightsabers.

Yeah, they rode on like feathered dinosaurs on Tattooine carrying lightsabers. It was weird, and seeing what R2 actually says in the comic made me glad you didn't understand what all he was saying in the movies which was just left to the imagination. Also, the emperor in the beginning of the comic looked like some weird combination between Sinestro and Doctor Strange, and Vader was originally two different characters before they merged the two shown in the comic into one, but before that you saw him wearing mostly black and a cape, but without the mask/helmet or anything deformed/cybernetic.

Also they use Chewbacca's original design for Star Wars Rebels with the Zeb character.

Ron Howard???? OMG...

Its going to be his second time working with Lucasfilm.

Hopefully Howard can make Han as charismatic as he did with Kilmer.

The movie rumored to include Jabba The Hutt
