If the first trailer coming just a few months before the movie itself wasn’t enough of an indication of just how down-to-the-wire the production of Solo: A Star Wars Story is, Collider is reporting that director Ron Howard just brought in Jon Favreau to voice a “very cool and important” alien for the film. Howard talked about it on Twitter and even noted that he was lucky he could “pull [Favreau] away from his Lion King directing duties.” That was certainly a joke, but it also comes across as a little desperate—as if Howard just ran through Disney headquarters and found Favreau working with some computer-generated animals down the hall from Solo’s editing bay.
