EW: A little more flavor on what happened with Lord/Miller on Star Wars. They wanted Improv Comedy. Kennedy wanted a "touch" of Comedy.
http://ew.com/movies/2017/06/22/ron-howard-takes-over-directing-duties-on-han-solo-film/ Basically they were trying to make a 21 Jump Street Star Wars and the improv that was coming through from the cast they encouraged was pushing it away from key story points in the Kasdan script as they saw dallies.

This would explain how they could get so far into shooting heavy improv can derail a FX heavy production. Jun 22, 15:54
you get dallies on day 1 {nm} Jun 22, 17:19
If that is true, then i'm glad they got dumped. I wouldn't like a Han Solo improv comedy style.. {nm} Jun 22, 17:16
if thats not what KK wanted, she shouldnt have hired improv comedy directors {nm} Jun 22, 17:17
but really, what director who is a true fan of the series would reasonably expect there to be a lot of improv-ing? Jun 22, 18:51
It might be possible to do a Star Wars comedy (although I'm not eager to see anyone try) but don't do it with Han Solo. {nm} Jun 23, 09:35
