Was the young Han Solo going to be styled after Ace Ventura? It has been stated that Chris Miller and Phil Lord were ousted from Han Solo: A Star Wars Story for creative differences.







Now, this is a term that is tossed around quite a bit in Hollywood and the music business. Generally, creative differences are an affable way for saying something significantly more evil occurred off camera. However, for this situation, creative differences appear to really be what led the directing couple away from Lucasfilm and Disney along with some of the cast as well. Sources near the venture say that Miller and Lord were setting up the character of Han Solo in a more comedic approach, which wasn’t going down well with many individuals, particularly Alden Ehrenreich, the young Han Solo himself,.

Inside sources uncovered to Star Wars News Net that Alden Ehrenreich voiced his worries before anyone about the direction in which Phil Lord and Chris Miller were taking the famous smuggler. Star Wars News Net clarified;

“Ehrenreich had concerns with the production as filming progressed, he started to worry that Lord and Miller’s screwball comedy angle was starting to interfere with what the character of Han Solo is really about – even if this was a younger, more reckless take on the character than the one we met in the cantina of Tatooine.”

This is totally reasonable to anyone acquainted with Star Wars and the character of Hans Solo. Han Solo is viewed largely as a wry character that begins off quite selfishly towards the starting of the Star Wars trilogy. Audiences aren’t sure at first whether they can put their trust in him.

The source went ahead to state that Lord and Miller’s depiction of young Han Solo resembled Jim Carrey’s Ace Ventura now and again. Okay, say all you want in regard to it being alright to take youthful Han Solo in a comedic direction, you may defend the directors of The LEGO Movie and 21 Jumpstreet. However, Ace Ventura blended with Han Solo? That might be one of the most awful thoughts in the Star Wars universe ever since the presentation of Jar Jar Binks. A word that does not ring a bell when one considers Han Solo is “wacky” or “screwball comedy.”

Jim Carrey’s Ace Ventura was an awesome comic character in 1994. Nevertheless, it’s absolutely impossible that anyone on the planet in 2017/2018 wants to see hours of Han Solo tossing out catchphrases and jokes with Chewbacca while hanging out with Lando.





Possibly it was a kooky adventure from back when Han Solo saved at-risk space creatures before he was a smuggler and that’s how he came to meet Chewie. That thought may make a decent draw on Saturday Night Live. However, at the end of the day, the joke would wear thin after about the sixth minute.

Therefore, yes, Phil Lord and Chris Miller have been fired. The news is all over and it has started up a wide range of level headed discussion over creative freedom while working under Disney and Lucasfilm. And keeping in mind that there may be some truth related to an absence of creative freedom, it is by all accounts working out for the best in the Star Wars universe.

In case anything these sources guarantee is valid, it’s only good that the directors were ousted from Hans Solo: A Star Wars Story. As it is, no one wishes to see an Ace Ventura/Han Solo hybrid. No one.
