Good choice!

Interesting to consider how Apollo 13 becomes predecessor to the Millennium Falcon in Howard's CV.

Happy Days is a long time ago.

Great! The moron who made the criminal Da Vinci Code movies!

Having the spin-off is a bad enough idea. I'm definitely not going to see it and spoil my image of the legendary character. Having Howard as the director is, sorry, the nail in the coffin. He's decent in a certain style and genre, but I don't think he has the know-how for a solo Solo movie.

Oh GAWD. Ron don't know how take his finger off of the play button when it comes to music. So tired of his ridiculous crescendos.

Lawrence Kasdan wrote Empire Strikes Back so if it's just a tonal change and Howard can steer it, the movie itself might be good. 3/4 done doesn't allow a lot of time to change complete direction so this may be a plus

Except for adding 10 to 20 crescendos.

Hmm. He did make the excellent "Rush" but he's not exactly the most exciting of directors. I guess Lord and Miller were too creative for Disney?
