«Solo» is the fourth film in Disney's revamped franchise machine to creatively malfunction: Director Josh Trank exited a still - unmade Boba Fett spinoff in 2015; Oscar - nominated filmmaker Tony Gilroy was brought in to save 2016's «Rogue One: A Star Wars Story» when director Gareth Edwards»
efforts missed the mark; and «Jurassic World» helmer Colin Trevorrow — who was originally hired to direct the
next «Star Wars» movie, «Episode IX,» in 2019 — was shown the door following
clashes over the script.
