Ron Howard is the most recent director to join the Lucasfilm family, having been hired to finish the Han Solo just last week. Now, he's already hard at work — both on the movie and trolling fans on social media.
The director took over the reins to the second Stars Wars spin-off — a yet-to-be-named movie featuring Han Solo — today and turned to social media to give fans a little inside look at how the production was going.

Unfortunately for fans, the social media post didn't show much, if anything at all.
"Cool scene today," Howard posted alongside a picture of a floor on set. "But I'm afraid this is the most revealing image I dare share from my 1st day on the set of the Untitled Han Solo movie."
Howard joins the production of the latest Star Wars movie after the original directors — Phil Lord and Christopher Miller — were reportedly fired over creative differences with the studio.
