    Interesting thoughts, thanks ...everything I read seems to indicate neither Disney, Lucasfilm or the actors were content on the L&M set...that Kasdan was sent in to find out what was going on. Apparently, and this was supported by many of the actors, L&M were trying to go for a loose, hip, almost improvised vibe...but the actors felt more untethered, unfocused: indeed, the acting coach for AE was specifically because he wanted to find a way to portray something more like a what a young Harrison Ford might be like and L&M were not helpful in that regard, giving him little direction to achieve that and Eirenreich felt it was important. Plus, as Lucasfilm started looking at the dailies with serious intent...they saw L&M were going more for a comedy vibe (think more like 21 Jump Street, Starsky & Hutch or Land If The Lost, purportedly) and that wasn't the film they set out to make. With the cast feeling adrift and the shot stuff not matching the swashbuckling adventure vibe they hoped for...they made the change. As a guy who is the an older version of the kid who sat in a movie theater in 1977, awed at what he'd seen...I know I wasn't looking for a Solo movie that was a hip comedy: I'd had my fill of childhood heroes remade as sarcastic dummies through various remakes...I wanted, hoped for a full on Han Solo adventure...and since virtually every hero gets an origin movie, this was it. I found the movie fun as all heck, loved it when I saw it in the theaters, it continues to grow in stature with each viewing. I wanted a SW tale that brought the fun, excitement and derring do the first 3 films did so well and, for me, Solo delivers it in spades ! I absolutely hate that the fools were able to social media this thing to death so it never got the chance to shine at the box office because it's a really good SW adventure. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
