And it's nice to see some real optimism in this thread for a change!
Based on social media reactions I am seeing this change has actually increased interest for this film from those who were more ambivalent or somewhat negative towards the project in general.
After TPM I recall people saying who else should direct the PT films and Howard always came up. As soon as Disney announced new Star Wars movies I was surprised Howard wasn't mentioned. They went with younger creators raised on Star Wars which has proven to be a mixed bag. Howard should have been the go to-- even over Whedon on Abrams. Lucas and Spielberg were his mentors and his best films capture much the same heart as classic SW.
I hope that after this they let him do a SW movie from scratch of his own.
I hope to god they give Ron the chance to reshot the rather dire looking " racing" scenes in this . "Rush" was a fantastic film, with some spectacular shots that really captured the sense of speed and motion in Formula 1 in the 70's and just how dangerous it was , as well as getting a cracking set of performances from his cast. I loved that film!!! I don't know how much is supposed to be left to finish but I do hope they let him go all "Rogue 1" on it and reshoot alot of it if it isn't working. Good news alround I'd say.
For sure, I doubt LucasFilm will be tight with the purse strings in an effort to make this film deliver.
I do have to keep coming back to that, reminding myself.The fate of this film will be determined by one man, and one man alone. Alden Ehrenreich.
