Recently, rumors have indicated that Lucasfilm could be putting all their potential Star Wars spinoff films on hold following the box office performance of Solo: A Star Wars Story. The man who directed Solo was recently asked what he thought of these reports, and Ron Howard says he doesn’t believe the rumors are true. While he admits that the financial side of Solo wasn’t where some people wanted it to be, he says Lucasfilm is involved in a process to see what fans want and so will continue to move forward in order to figure that out. According to Howard…

“I don’t think that’s entirely accurate. I think that was reported, but I don’t think that’s exactly what I understand. Yeah, and I think the fans — look everybody at Lucasfilm and Disney really cares about the fans. And so, you know, I think it’s an ongoing process of like discovering what it can be and what it can all add up to. So, it’s really a process. And I like the fact that personally that they take some chances, take some risks, and see how people respond to it.”

The video posted to TMZ, which is an “interview” conducted with Ron Howard as he walks down the street with his producing partner Brian Grazer, has the person asking the question imply that Disney had announced they were putting all spinoff movies on hold, which was never the case. It was reported by other sources that the studio had made such a decision, likewise, other sources at Lucasfilm have claimed the first report is untrue.
