Lucasfilm replaced editor with Pietro Scalia.On June 20, 2017, citing 'creative differences', Lucasfilm announced that the directors had left the project with a new director 'to be announced soon'. It was reported that the directors were fired after Kennedy and Kasdan disagreed with their shooting style; Lord and Miller believed they were hired to make a comedy film, while Lucasfilm was looking for the duo only to add 'a comedic touch'.
Lucasfilm also felt the directors were encouraging too much improvisation from the actors, which was believed to be 'shifting the story off-course' from the Kasdans' script. To appease Kasdan, who was unhappy with scenes not being filmed 'word for word', Lord and Miller shot several takes exactly as written, then shot additional takes. Lord and Miller refused to compromise on certain scenes, such as filming a scene from fewer angles than Lucasfilm expected, thereby reducing the options available in.

Howard was expected to arrive in London on June 26 to complete filming.
During the reshoots, actor Michael K. Williams was unable to return to the production, due to a schedule conflict with filming, resulting in his part being cut. Williams stated the reshoots for his character were 'to match the new direction which the producers wanted Ron to carry the film in', and that he would not have been available again until November 2017; the production did not want to wait for his availability to make a release in May 2018.Lucas, Howard's friend, mentor and collaborator, made a surprise visit to the set to encourage Howard on his first day shooting. Intended as a short meeting, Lucas spent the whole day with the crew. While Lucas had not meant to interfere, at some point he forgot and asked 'Why doesn't Han just do this?'
; Howard included his suggestion. On October 17, 2017, Howard announced that principal photography had been completed, and revealed the title of the film. Howard used for the Millennium Falcon cockpit scenes, an updated version of the technique used in the original trilogy.In March 2018, after it was reported Howard had reshot around 70% of the film, it was announced that Lord and Miller would not challenge for director credit and instead agreed to executive producer credits.

Graeme McMillan of criticized the trailer as 'dull', and compared it negatively to the look of Rogue One, opining that the visuals 'should be the hive of scum and villainy of the Cantina of the very first movie, filled with colorful aliens and things happening all over the place. That busyness, the sense of danger and hustle, feels appropriate for Solo in a way that what's on show in this first trailer simply doesn't.' He also noted that several plot elements presented in the trailer were reminiscent of, a series of novels published in 1997 and 1998.In early March 2018, French artist Hachim Bahous asserted that Disney had a series of album covers he designed for 's label in France with character posters for the film.

Deadline Hollywood compared the below-expectations opening to the previous November, and attributed it to fan negativity toward the concept and the behind-the-scenes problems, as well as competition from and Avengers: Infinity War. Many analysts and publications, including Deadline, and, interpreted the low box office returns as a case of ' Star Wars fatigue', since Solo was the fourth film of the series released in 29 months, and came just five months after.

Donald Glover's performance as Lando Calrissian was praised by critics.On review aggregation website, Solo has an approval rating of 70% based on 442 reviews, with an average rating of 6.39/10. The website's critical consensus reads, 'A flawed yet fun and fast-paced space adventure, Solo: A Star Wars Story should satisfy newcomers to the saga as well as longtime fans who check their expectations at the theater door.'
On, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film has a weighted average score of 62 out of 100, based on reviews from 54 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'. Audiences polled by gave the film an average grade of 'A−' on an A+ to F scale, while reported filmgoers gave it an 89% overall positive score and a 73% 'definite recommend'.Writing for, gave the film 2.5 stars out of 4, complimenting the cast but criticizing the lack of creativity, saying, 'somehow Han Solo—the roguish Star Wars hellion famous for breaking all the rules—finds himself in a feel-good movie that doesn't break any.' Bernard Boo of wrote, 'If what you want from a Star Wars movie is an action-adventure romp, and the last two movies in the franchise ( The Last Jedi and Rogue One) felt a little too dreary and heavy on pathos, Solo is sure to lift your spirits and give you more thrills than you can handle. Some of the action sequences are seriously breathtaking and will keep you teetering on the edge of your seat.'
Of said, 'It doesn't take itself too seriously, but it also holds whatever irreverent, anarchic impulses it might possess in careful check.' He noted that it is 'a curiously low-stakes blockbuster, in effect a filmed page'. Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter praised the cast and production values but felt the film as a whole felt too safe, writing, 'while Ehrenreich's Solo proves adept at maneuvering the Millennium Falcon out of some tight spots, the picture itself follows a safely predictable course.
Missing here are the sort of plot-related or visual curveballs thrown by Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi or Gareth Edwards with Rogue One.' For the, Johnny Oleksinski gave the film one star out of a possible four, writing that while Glover was 'amusing' in his role, Ehrenreich was 'given an impossible task: to make us forget about Harrison Ford, easily the most iconic action hero in modern cinema.' Dani Di Placido for Forbes wrote 'Han Solo is a dashing rogue, a scoundrel with a twinkle in his eye, but so what? Characters like him are cheap and plentiful. It was the formidable charisma of Harrison Ford that turned him into a pop culture juggernaut. Recasting him is akin to recasting - it’s a cinematic cardinal sin'. Matthew Rozsa of Salon.com wrote that 'Whenever tries to develop one of the franchise's key characters, it whiffs.
Solo is no exception.' Ron Howard said that original Han Solo actor Harrison Ford saw the film twice and spoke positively about it and Ehrenreich's performance.
