Star war : The Last Jediwriter - managing director Rian Johnson shares his thoughts onSolo : A Star Wars Storyfollowing the film ’s premiere this week . Johnson , of course , is the creative force behind the 8th film in the mainline Skywalker saga , which give up only a few calendar month ago . And , while Johnson no longer has any input regarding coreStar Warssaga , he ’s not done with Lucasfilm ’s Galax urceolata far , far away just yet ; he ’s now working on an entirenewStar Warstrilogyapart from Skywalker storyline .
Of naturally , one of the benefit of being part of theStar Warsfamily , especially in a creative position , is being ( pretty ) privy to what ’s going on with otherStar Warsfilms , include the anthology celluloid likeRogue One : A Star Wars StoryandSolo : A Star Wars Story . In February , Johnson praisedSolo’sfirst trailer , and he even let on that he ’d already seen much if not all of the picture .

According toEW , Johnson has indite his mentation in an Instagram story . Taking on the self-aggrandizing motion of whether star Alden Ehrenreichmakes the character of Han Solo his own , Johnson says,"[Ehrenreich is ] not doing a Harrison Ford caricature , but he brings his own magical spell and swagger to the character . “Johnson also noted the"big surprise"was Phoebe Waller - Bridge , saying her voice portrayal of Lando Calrissian ’s droid brother L3“has a few of the funniest instant I ’ve ever seen in a Star Wars picture show . ”On the whole , Johnson calledSoloa " super fun " photographic film .
Johnson ’s ebullience should fall as good news toStar Warsfans , especially in light of the motion-picture show ’s troubled product , in which carbon monoxide gas - directorsPhil Lord and Christopher Miller were firedand replaced with Oscar - winning film maker Ron Howard . While it should n’t come as a huge surprisal that a member of theStar Warsfamily is back the latest crusade in theStar Warsuniverse ( even Johnson drop a line that he doubt people would take his thoughts on the film seriously ) , there ’s still encouragement in that he has come out in praise of the movie instead of aver nothing at all ( thus guide people to draw their own conclusion ) . Lucky for Johnson , he ’s not alone in his thoughts about the film;Mark Hamill also praisedSoloand the moving-picture show ’s first response have been mostly plus thus far .
Solo : A Star Wars Story ’s true quality , however , will be make up one’s mind when the film ’s review embargo lifts and , again , when the pic open up worldwide later this month . While critics were largely impressed withThe Last Jedi , fans were split and took issue with some of Johnson ’s originative decisions . No matter what fans think ofSolo , though , the photographic film ’s release is confine to take the vivid fan focus off of Johnson and place it on Ehrenreich , Donald Glover , and the rest ofSolo ’s cast and crew .
