"Phil Lord & Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast & crew, but it's become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, & we've decided to part ways. A new director will be announced soon." That was the quote from Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm on StarWars.com. Phil Lord & Christopher Miller are most known for pulling off what seemed impossible in making a great movie about building blocks, The LEGO Movie. They had to say, "Unfortunately, our vision & process weren't aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren't fans of the phrase 'creative differences' but for once this cliché is true. We are really proud of the amazing & world-class work of our cast & crew. The film has been shooting for awhile now & remains scheduled for May 2018. I'm not sure what to think here. I was excited to see these guys take on something not in the realm of a full comedic nature. I never know what to take out of the term "creative differences". You would figure these guys go through a type of interview setting where they would get that all on the table, but I'm starting to think studios want a big name so bad they hire & talk about it later. The scary part of this is this leaves Han Solo with no one at the helm & less than a year to go. Curious to see who's shoulders this fall on, & how long the now dreaded, inevitable re-shoots will take. What do y'all think? Is it time to have a bad feeling about this? And should studios start to go over these things in more detail? We see more & more of this every day. Leave it in the comments, like, & share.
