NewsMashableGeorge Lucas added at least one joke to 'Solo'
Ron Howard had his work cut out for him stepping into <em>Solo: A Star War Story – </em>not only in working with a beloved franchise but picking up for other directors and the vision created 40 years ago by George Lucas. Howard told Stephen Colbert on <em>The Late Show</em> that Lucas – who he has known since the '70s, before Star Wars – is still invested in his characters and in what Han and Chewy would do in <em>Solo</em>. Howard recalled a day when Lucas visited the <em>Solo</em> set and observed a scene, casually saying "You know what Han would really do there?" "I said, 'What?'" Howard told Colbert. "And he told me the joke, he gave me a little joke. And I said, 'Hey, guess what? Here’s what we’re gonna do in the next take.' So I know when I hear a good idea." The fact that Lucas, as well as scribes Lawrence and Jonathan Kasdan, was as invested in telling Han Solo's origin story while being true to the original films should comfort Star Wars fans anxiously awaiting <em>Solo</em>. Colbert also tried to get Howard to spill some details about the upcoming movie (the Kessel Run!), but given that Howard had to sign an NDA the second he joined the project, he kept quiet. <em>Solo</em> flies into theaters May 25.
