The movie only began filming months ago, and though it’s hard to say how far into the production they are, it’s still easy to determine that this development was far from anticipated.
There’s still a lot of filming to go — was the production over halfway done, or is there a lot more to go.
Lucasfilm productions have not gone underway without their own issues, with reshoots plaguing both Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and others films under the banner. But ever since Disney purchased the house of Star Wars, there have been quite a few problems on each film since.
Now that the news is out there that the 21 Jumpstreet and LEGO Movie directors will be stepping away from the project, fans are unveiling their opinions about the next Star Wars spinoff movie and how much hope it possibly has to be successful.
With Lucasfilm moving up the release date to May of next year, it doesn’t seem like it has a huge chance to do well, but one can never bet against Kathleen Kennedy and the Star Wars franchise. Here are some of the best reactions to the news that the Han Solo movie is out a couple of directors:

By the way, any reporter who uses “bad feeling about this” in their Han Solo-loses-directors story has to run a lap.
