News hit yesterday that Phil Lord And Chris Miller had left as directors of the untitled Han Solo movie.
Today news hits that Ron Howard will finish off directing the movie, so what does this mean.
Lucafilms have worked with the director before with the fantasy hit Willow from 1988.
He is a very good director and has great vision and know how to tell a story, this might mean re-writes of the story, and more importantly is will mean a very different sytle.
Production was half way through but Ron Howard will want to put his stamp on the film, he is not a director for hire and I think there will be many re-shoots and we will get a very different movie.
Better? Who know, we never will, but it is good news.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard will assume directorial duties on the untitled Han Solo film. https://t.co/Ki04TAoKEe pic.twitter.com/7LvRyTUt6t

No other film mattered this week as Jurassic World stormed the world box office and left the competition behind.
Taking a staggering $511 million from 67 countries the dinosaur film has become the second biggest opening film of all time, behind Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 from 2011.
Time will tell how well the film will ultimately do but it's half way to the magic billion dollar mark and almost quarter of the way to beating Titanic, Avatar with $2.7 billion may be a little out of its reach.
Last week top film across the globe fell into second place this week, San Andreas takes $53 million from 69 countries and has now grossed $373.3 million.
Worthy of a mention this week is Indian film Hamari Adhuri Kahaani which is number 10 this week from just 1 country.
Here is the full world box office top 10:
