Solo: A Star Wars Story: Ron Howard reveals secrets from film, future of Han Solo in Star Wars
Ron Howard reveals secrets from Solo: A Star Wars Story and the future of Han Solo moving forward within Star Wars films.
Since day one as the captain of Solo: A Star Wars Story, Ron Howard has embraced his place within a galaxy far, far away. His childlike wonder and pure joy are evident in the final product of the Han Solo Star Wars origin film — a genuine love letter to the die-hard Star Wars fans.
Even though it’s a “disappointment” at the Box office (compared to other Star Wars films), earnings for Solo: A Star Wars Story is a personal best for him, and the quality of the film is out of this galaxy — especially with the short time he had to right the Falcon, once Lord and Miller left the project.
In a recent interview with The Empire Film Podcast, Ron Howard revealed behind the scene goodies, secrets from Solo: A Star Wars Story, and the future of Han Solo and Lando Calrissian in upcoming Star Wars films.
