Howard took over directing duties on ''[[Solo: A Star Wars Story]]'', a film featuring ''[[Star Wars]]'' character [[Han Solo]] in his younger years. The film was released on May 23, 2018. Howard officially replaced directors [[Phil Lord and Christopher Miller]] on June 22, 2017; they were let go from their position two days earlier, reportedly due to their refusal to compromise with [[Lucasfilm]] over the direction of the film; reportedly the directors encouraged significant improvisations by the actors, which was believed by some at Lucasfilm to be "shifting the story off-course".<ref name="ewhansolo" /> At the time, the film was nearly completed, with three and a half weeks left to film and another five weeks of reshoots scheduled.<ref name="ewhansolo">{{cite magazine |url=https://ew.com/movies/2017/06/22/ron-howard-takes-over-directing-duties-on-han-solo-film/ |title=How the Han Solo film broke apart – with Ron Howard picking up the pieces |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |last=Breznican |first=Anthony |date=June 22, 2017 |access-date=June 22, 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180731172330/https://ew.com/movies/2017/06/22/ron-howard-takes-over-directing-duties-on-han-solo-film/ |archive-date=July 31, 2018}}</ref> Howard posted on Twitter, "I'm beyond grateful to add my voice to the ''Star Wars'' Universe after being a fan since [[Star Wars (film)|5/25/77]].
