Didn't find an existing threat for this in the search.
So after Disney just fired the movies previous 2 directors, they landed this guy. Never heard of him. Hope he does a good job with it.

What a safe, boring choice.
- true but it's safe and boring directors that brought us star wars, indiana jones, and the like.SteveJobs

Safer than the 2 useless fools who tried to make it into a comedy movie. Come on now - you land the job of directing the Han Solo spin off and get fired lol. I'll do it for free in my sleep. Howard is an odd choice but also likely to make it work as it is in trouble. Safe hands like Seaman.

Shouldn't this movie be funny? Why the hell would you make a serious movie about some goofy wise cracker smartass?
- Especially when he is even younger in this than he was in the original movie.CygnusZero4
- Because dude, in Hans younger years he was ultra serious, until one fate full day on the moon of Dracona that changed his life forever.kona
- For on that moon, he met a mime who mimed to him "chill the fuck out dude" just as a space boulder smashed him to bits. Lesson learned. Life is too shortkona
- and he became a smooth wise cracking smartass.kona
- for exactly the reasons Disney said, he's sarcastic and selfish and possibly a little evil at times. Not a fucking galactic clown.fadein11

They should cancel the film. The Han casting seems terrible.

Hopefully we get Apollo 13 Ron Howard. I love that movie. Doesnt seem like any of his last like 8 movies have been very good, so that's a bad sign.
- none of his movies are any good. the bloke's an arsehans_glib
- It's not that they're bad. They're just vanilla, uninspiring and safe.ETM
- It's not his project though - he's been brought in as a safe experienced pair of hands - the director of SW movies gets the job done, thats how it is. It's sofadein11
- preplanned - they don't experiment on set. It's not a scrosese movie - noones piling on 100 pounds before shooting. its filmmaking by numbers. And looks likefadein11
- Disney know what they are doing. Rogue One was the 2nd best SW movie and that went through this painful process also.fadein11

Well he is a great guy to work for. All depends on the script and team.

ugh ron howard
hasn't made one decent movie.
not one.
ffs anyone but ron
- <unintentional poem. i'm as talented poet as he is a director.hans_glib
- Damn. Not that bad. He's had a couple good films. Splash, Cocoon, Apollo 13 ...monospaced
- he's a crowd pleaser - aint ever gonna win an award that means anything. which is why he may be the man to save this film from those plebs who blew the bestfadein11
- gift of their careers.fadein11
- I mean really, imagine waking up each morning and thinking I'm off to work on the Solo spin off. How could you possibly fuck it up lol. I'm available free offadein11
- charge if Ron doesn't make it work.fadein11
- Ransom was pretty enjoyable, as was Frost/Nixon...and he did do 'willow' with George..so he has that experience...exador1
- @fadein he won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. Is that worth nothing? What other award is worth more than that?monospaced
- To be fair I had totally forgotten about A Beautiful Mind. A decent but flawed pic. But the rest? all borderline safe cheese. But as I said he's safe hands forfadein11
- a film in trouble.fadein11

I still think Joss Whedon would kill it with a Star Wars film.
Actually, I also think Ronald D Moore* would do a fine job, too, if you're looking for a darker tone.
*He's more a writer and producer, though.

I'm a little concerned about this movie. I never liked young Han. He was a bit of a douche who was very high on himself. I loved older Han in The Force Awakens and was hoping it was a more recent Harrison Ford portrayal.
And who gets the pressure of playing this role as a new actor?

Young Solo.
