When news broke that Disney and Lucasfilm’s Han Solo spinoff had fallen on hard times, many feared the worst.
Four months into an intense shoot, Lucasfilm boss and all-around Star Wars veteran Kathleen Kennedy formally announced that due to creative differences, The Lego Movie directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were no longer attached to the anthology pic, which would instead be ushered over the finish line by Ron Howard. Eager to put any production woes behind them, the folks at Lucasfilm ensured a quick turnaround when locating a replacement director, and in the space of just 48 hours, two became one at the helm of 2018’s Han Solo origin story.
But if production ground to a halt late last month, Star Wars fans can take solace in the fact that filming has now resumed on the Alden Ehrenreich-fronted spinoff, and a new wave of set photos have trickled online to prove it.
