Ron Howard (and everyone else involved with Solo) made super fun film. Just got home from seeing it and I already want to see it again.

[@ashcrossan8381]

Rod's Media Room yay!

[@thomassholan7]

You could just feel the passion for Star Wars in that room. This is what the Star Wars fandom should be like.

[@ashcrossan8381]

love this -- thank you

[@flippdoubt8057]

I miss feeling excited for Star Wars, but that which was once a ferocious passion is now a wrinkly old bitch. Wow, I just realized it’s like marriage, lol

[@lucidmonkey3591]

Then you don’t understand Star Wars

[@thomassholan7]

Whatever bud

JHowrd13 thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️

[@JHowrd13]

Ash Crossan Just got back from seeing it actually and I really enjoyed it.

[@DanielLopez-fj9yz]

You can tell the amount of respect he has for these characters and GLs creations

[@andrewjnoe]

Another great interview from Ash Crossan!

[@ashcrossan8381]

thank you

[@ReebenHauser]

Rogue One had the problem of having new characters that we needed to care about in one movie length while also not having the burden of making sure main characters from the other movies were done right (besides Vader, Tarkin and couple of side characters). So going into it with a somewhat blank slate was a little easier. This movie has two beloved main characters front and center being portrayed by other people. No matter how hard you or I try, it will be very hard to put that aside and not make comparisons and judgements. I hope I can put that aside and just enjoy the movie. My two cents anyway.

[@ashcrossan8381]

totally valid point! I didn't have a problem with Alden and Donald at all -- and I was definitely worried about that. Thanks for watching!

[@ReebenHauser]

Update: I've seen it twice and I really liked it. I like the call backs and the story seemed fun enough. I went into it knowing it wasn't going to be a huge "save the galaxy" type of story and it worked. It's a story about smugglers, gangsters, and dealers. Makes you wonder if that Star Wars 1313 game would have been something similar but on Coruscant. And boy does Donald Glover do a hell of ah job as Lando. And Alden was great as Han, I have to admit. Overall very enjoyable and I honestly hope they keep making these stories alongside the Episodes. As Kevin Smith puts it, they've already got my money.

[@bebaaliciacreations]

Ron Howard actor, Director, all in one great.👍👏❤

[@bebaaliciacreations]

[@aaronthegreat1461]

[@flippdoubt8057]

Aaron the great ...ya know, in a way, Soylo is promoting movie pirating.

[@nestor1924]

Aaron the great ill watch soylo but pirated, i ant giving my money to stupid kaitleen kennedy

[@jonathanweihe8732]

i believe in him!!!! i really do

[@30Pabz]

Ash killing it per usual

[@ashcrossan8381]

you the best :)

[@muskyelondragon]

Disney has killed this franchise.

[@nestor1924]

Musky Elon indeed, shat all over it...

[@bentertainmentproductions8451]

Expectations killed the franchise. Star Wars is like an experimental egg. You can either fry or scramble it, and no matter what you will still find people who will complain that the franchise is dead.

[@joebuck4957]

Disney killed it but I liked Solo because A. Larry Kasdan wrote it and made a great story B. Ron Howard understands what entertains people unlike Rian Johnson C. Woody Harrelson and Emilia Clarke among others had cool characters with twists

[@Mad_Mally]

I like Ron but hate Soy.

[@flippdoubt8057]

Jonathan Garcia ...I only like 2 Ron’s in Hollywood. Uh-oh, porn pop up!!

[@brewt1mer]

I really like ron..but I don't like Kathleen kennedy so I will be boycotting solo..

[@andyvawser4943]

I'm sure they're going to change every Star Wars movie in the future due to your boycott. Fanboys weren't happy with George and now they hate Kathy. Why not just have fun with the movies and leave it at that? If you choose not to see it, that is fine, but saying you're boycotting it shows you feel yourself as better than the thousands who put in several years of their lives to bring this film to the screen.

[@anthonyy9483]

**spoilers* Well Darth Maul is in it, but you won’t see his return cause your boycotting

[@aaronthegreat1461]

barrie good job brother #boycottsoylo!!!!!!! Raising my pirate flag high

[@c-hawkins1150]

Andy Vawser ......WHAT??? what about the blacks, hispanics and women that hate what kennedy did with starwars but we liked the prequels? What we dont count!!! my entire nieghorhood is boycotting SOLO!

[@ddm62571]

Ahhh, another butt hurt SW fan

[@nonenone8201]

The new Star Wars films stink. Let the franchise R.I.P.

[@Simply.everything.skywalker]

Hi Ron Howard heh heh he wont see this I'm 13 and I watch Andy Griffith he plays Opie 🤣

[@MrPolit3]

It's almost impossible to ruin Han Solo. But Ron "red head" Howard, the Coward, no solo did it.

[@loveInvincible6400]

Ron did fine with Solo atleast he didn't ruin his characters the horrible way Ruin little Johnson did to the Last Jedi.

[@loveInvincible6400]

@Rhetorical Answer so you would Rather Rian Johnson screw it?

[@lucidmonkey3591]

Is Ron “acting” right now in this interview? I think yes

[@Zombiesnyder13]

Ron Howard was perfect to helm Star Wars, but he stept in the wrong time

[@okedoke1234]

Hey haters!!! How about starting your "boycott" crusade by boycotting coming to KZbin comment sections. THAT would be a welcome boycott that I would support!!!!!

[@nestor1924]

How did Ron got involved in this mess?...
