Due to 25th May. Seems unlikely though.
Itās going to be fucking shit, as bad as those Ewoks movies from the eighties.

I was gutted about Williams too - heās great in Boardwalk Empire and I was looking forward to seeing him among the Solo players. I think Bettany is playing a completely new character however, he wasnāt a straight-up replacement.
Also, iirc, Lord and Miller were about 2 weeks out from completing their vision of Solo, so the project as a whole was about 80% finished in terms of live action filming. Kathleen Kennedy acted at that point so that L and M wouldnāt have to be credited (Guild rules state something like a credit must be given to anyone whom has directed like 85% of a movie - Iām running on memory here so might be wrong - and so the axe fell at the eleventh hour).
Someone get Figrin Dāan and The Modal Nodes on the phone!

Do we know anything about what their version was like or why it was ditched (beyond ātoo much humourā right?). Iāll probably see it anyway but Iād have been a lot more excited with them at the helm.
Wow, thatās mental.
Tbf thatās the only thing I know too - that they were playing too hard and fast with improv and Disney werenāt seeing a ācoherent filmā being brought to life.
Personally Iām glad they went, I donāt want a ācomedy SW filmā even if it is a just a spin-off of cash-grabbing proportions.
What historical things do you think weāll see happen in Solo - the Kessel Run? Han winning the Falcon off Lando?
Actually, just thinking about it, I bet we now have a little scene showing Han buying (or hanging) the gold dice. Iām also hoping for some excellent smuggling capers with Chewie being told to āCāmon!ā as the lasers start to fly 
From reading a few things, and reading between the lines, I think their pitch was basically the Clint & Clyde films, IN SPACE! (Any Which Way You Han, as itās been punned on throughout the internet), which would have been fine by me, if theyād pulled it off.

Iād rather a more comedy one tbh, donāt espeically want to see things like the Kessel run actually being shown.
Iām with you - Iād rather the Kessel Run remain confined to peopleās imaginations. Sadly, however, itās one of the first things you automatically think of when considering a Young Han film and so itāll probably be conjured.

Hmmā¦ Iām going to get a bit nerdy here, but the Falcon has always been a modified YT-1000f freighter, and they always had the twin āmandiblesā.
