Ron Howard has stepped in as the new director of the untitled new Star Wars Han Solo movie, The Hollywood Reporter reports. Two days ago, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired by Lucasfilm and Disney after over four months working on the project because of what was cited as “creative differences.” Oscar-winner Howard has a history of working with Lucasfilm that goes back to 1973’s American Grafitti, though some his most recent projects, while critically acclaimed, have been deemed costly and underperforming at box offices.
