Star Wars: Donald Glover discusses Han Solo director switch-up

The actor plays Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars spin-off

Last year, Disney and LucasFilm made the unprecedented of removing the directors of Solo: A Star Wars Story midway through shooting.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller — the duo behind 21 Jump Street and The Lego Movie — were quickly replaced by Ron Howard following reports the duo were too improvisational.

Donald Glover, who will play Lando Calrissian, has since spoken about the director swap, saying that the production barely changed.

“It didn’t really,” the actor told Deadline when asked whether anything changed much. “I think we were never faced with anything like that and he did a good job of coming in and didn’t want us to change what we were doing at all. He wanted us to be comfortable with our vision.”

Questioned about the reshoots, Glover said there were “not a ton”, referring to his own scenes.

The actor and writer behind Atlanta added: “This is the first time in a long time, I was just acting. Most of the time, I have to write or do music. This time I woke up and got to be somebody else and the stress wasn’t there for me.”

Recently, it was revealed composer John Williams will work on the film, conducting the theme, while John Powell will take on duties of writing the film’s score.
