Phil Lord and Chris Miller Explain Their Exit from Solo

Phil Lord and Chris Miller left the direction of Solo: A Star Wars Story after their approach failed to convince Disney. The film, a prequel focused on Han Solo, earned less than $400 million for Lucasfilm against a cost of $275 million, becoming the first financial flop in the saga. Ron Howard took over the project, forced to work with very tight deadlines. The two directors discussed their experience on the podcast The Town hosted by journalist Matthew Belloni. “We try not to hold grudges,” Miller said, while Lord added: “I look forward, never back.” They emphasize that the cast and crew remain their priority.
