Things seem pretty messy in this behind-the-scenes look at Solo

Last June, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced that co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were being taken off of Solo: A Star Wars Story, which, at that point, was at least three-quarters of the way done shooting. Then, as rumors of on-set disagreements and production snafus began circulating, it was announced that Ron Howard would be taking the helm of the beleaguered film. A last minute change of this magnitude on such a high-budget production is almost unheard of, which is why fans have spent the better part of a year speculating that Solo might really be a piece of junk. This week, Vulture got an interview with an anonymous source that all but confirms fans’ worst fears.

“Phil and Chris are good directors, but they weren’t prepared for Star Wars,” said Vulture’s unnamed source, who reportedly acted in the film under the direction of Lord and Miller as well as Ron Howard. Take what they say with a grain of salt; it’s a single report and it’s anonymous, but most of their comments match up neatly with external impressions. “After the 25th take, the actors are looking at each other like, ‘This is getting weird.’” While efficiency on set may not matter much to the casual moviegoer, it certainly matters a lot to the people footing the bill, i.e. Disney. Vulture’s source claims that things were quite different with veteran director Ron Howard on set, saying, “When he came on, he took control and you could feel it… He’s really confident.”
