indeed, and even if it seems like playing devil's advocate: Thank you Kathleen Kennedy for giving these clowns the boot before they could put a squishy raccoon turd into the Star Wars lore (there I said it, stone me for it!). These are not the directors we were looking for.

Update: Read the article, the OP misrepresented the statement, they never said that. Might be a spin to defame the guys or to generate click bait.

Lord And Miller's SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Would Have Been Like GOTG; How Much Of The Movie Is Ron Howard's?

An in-depth report reveals plenty of new details about all the behind the scenes drama going on with Solo: A Star Wars Story, including on-set disagreements, those extensive reshoots, and much, much more.
Josh Wilding | 5/10/2018

It's no secret that Solo: A Star Wars Story has suffered from some behind the scenes issues but a new report now sheds some light on where things went wrong for Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Apparently, the filmmakers wanted to find a contemporary tone that found a balance between adventure and comedy, something which didn't go down particularly well with Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy.

A more contemporary vibe would not be Star Wars.
It would be more similar to GotG

However, it's said that Lord and Miller clashed with Lawrence Kasdan over the script from the very start and tensions only continued increasing once shooting started. That's mostly because the directors shot dozens of different versions of the same scenes straying from the script and frustrating exhausted crew members who are used to Star Wars movies moving along at a much quicker (and easier) pace.

That sounds like John Carter.
Last thing Disney would want is an expensive flop. I love John Carter, but the director spent so much making it, it was dead in the water.

When Kasdan visited the set, he made no secret of the fact he wasn't happy with Lord and Miller's work, something which left them feeling undermined. Ultimately, Kennedy decided to fire them but that came as a complete surprise because they had been trying to make changes based on her feedback. When Ron Howard came on board, he reshot scenes in a matter of hours that the 21 Jump Street directors spent an entire day working on. Now, it's said 70% of the movie came from reshoots.

Sounds like they should have gone with someone like that from the start.
Kasdan is a known entity to the property.
Wasting time/money on multiple shots is not good unless they didnt know what they wanted. Why were they steering back on course? Shouldnt they have been there in the first place?

"Ron wanted to go back to the spirit of the original trilogy, while Phil and Chris were looking forward to something new, more like ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,’" one source with knowledge of the situation says. It was last winter that Lord and Miller saw Howard's first cut of the movie and it was then they decided not to seek a director credit through the Directors Guild of America. What do you think?

So they recognized it wasnt their product at all.

What after all, is a halo? It's only one more thing to keep clean.
