Phil Lord and Chris Miller Get Executive Producer Credit On ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’

Via Variety.com:

While speaking at the third annual GLAS Animation Festival Friday in Berkeley, Calif., Phil Lord and Chris Miller revealed the credit they elected to take on “Solo: A Star Wars Story” after their shocking mid-production exit as directors of the movie last year.

The directors, who also helmed “The Lego Movie” and “21 Jump Street,” said they’re taking an executive producer credit on the “Star Wars” spinoff.

“We were really proud of the many contributions we made to that film,” Miller told the audience. “In light of the creative differences, we elected to take an executive producer credit.”

Ron Howard took the helm of directing the film once Lord and Miller left the project. The duo added that they wished everyone working on the film the best.

Miller and Lord used their GLAS panel Friday to retell their career from meeting in high school to their latest projects. Starting with their very first animated show “Clone High,” a lot of their early work involved learning by doing. “We were scared to death,” Lord recalled. “We did a lot of things wrong, but it was a crash course.”
