I'm generally on team Strat and Joey here. When you choose to work with established characters and within an established world that has its own feel and tone and consistency it's important to stay within the confines of that tone. A great director will be able to work within that constraint and produce creative work

Of course this are all opinions Joey, you dont have to freak out.

I didnt quite liked it back then and after i saw it recently i realized how weird is it. It feels disjointed.

This place. If I post anything other than "Oh MAN, I LOVED _______" people think I'm freaking out. Well, whatever. I'm not walking this one back. I've been clear about my perspective on this whole stupid thing and I'm comfortable with my opinions.

When did RM become so sensitive?

Your opinions are dumb though

FUCK YOU, DOUCHEBAG!!!!

Is this a line Lord & Miller made Han say during improv?

I like the idea of a "gonzo slapstick space comedy" married with SW.

It kinda sounds like one of those weird Lucas Arts PC games from the 90s.

OK Joe.

Im glad you are, and yes, i see your point. Cool.

Back to topic, is Ron Howard a weird choice?

Now this is a Joey I can get behind!

I am an artist. My vision is best.

LOL

I think Ron Howard is probably the best choice, actually. Because I don't really think he's going to be "directing" per se. I think Larry Kasdan is essentially taking over. But because of the DGA rules, he can't be hired as the replacement. So, they're bringing in somebody who will essentially be a calming presence. Someone who is entrenched in Lucasfilm, knows George, works well with actors, has tons of experience, can work a budget, has done humor as well as action, and who will essentially be a "father figure" and do pretty much whatever Kasdan wants.

It makes total sense to me.

All terrible jokes aside, I'm glad you're posting more often again, friend.

Poor Howard. He is a fine director and he is being hired to do nothin in your view.

I'd join a cult if it promised I'd be "fluffed into gratitude" when I died.

Yep. Well, not nothing. He's being hired to steer the ship home. But I could be wrong. Obviously, I'm not in the room where it happens. This is all conjecture on my part. Either way, Ron's a safe choice and he has a long history with Lucas and Lucasfilm. It's not ideal but it does make sense to me.
