Ron Howard has enthusiastically embraced his role as the replacement director for the untitled Han Solo Star Wars film. The Academy Award-winning director has posted multiple photos from the set of Han Solo, renewing Star Wars fans’ interest in the movie.

This isn’t the only “droid photo” he has posted recently, as he took to twitter with something slightly different, which might have confirmed a role for his brother, Clint Howard, in the Han Solo film.

A fan was quick to respond with a question about Clint Howard.
