Solo: A Star Wars Story changed by George Lucas – ‘I know when I hear a good idea’

“I said, ‘what’? And he described the joke and gave me a little joke, and I said, ‘guess what, we’re gonna do this in the next take!’

“So I know when I hear a good idea!”

Howard didn’t say what the gag Lucas suggested was, or if it made it into the final cut – but it’ll be interesting for fans to try and identify it when the movie is released.

Speaking to Colbert, Howard also spoke out about joining Solo mid-way through the filming process; after Phil Lord and Chris Miller were dismissed.
