Relax Star Wars fans, production on the Star Wars: Han Solo standalone film is going splendidly, according to Ron Howard.
The Oscar-winning director told Heat Vision on Tuesday the space adventure project is "coming along great."
"It's a fantastic script, a great cast and I am having a fantastic creative experience with it," he said.
Howard took the reins of the film in late June when former directors Christopher Miller and Phil Lord were fired after clashing with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan.
As sources detailed to The Hollywood Reporter then, the directors felt like they were being given "zero creative freedom," while the Star Wars brass was displeased by the directing duo's improvisational style that saw takes deviate from to Kasdan's script.
Howard, who noted he is still relatively new to the production, said the film "came with great characters, a great script and actors who inhabit those characters."
