The internet reacts to the news that Ron Howard is now directing the Han Solo movie

Ron Howard, best known for playing Richie Cunningham in Happy Days and narrating Arrested Development is taking over as producer on the Han Solo movie.

This is a surprise move after the original directors Kennedy and Kasdan were dumped by Disney for making the film too “comedic”.

“I’m beyond grateful to add my voice to the Star Wars Universe after being a fan since 5/25/77. I hope to honor the great work already done & help deliver on the promise of a Han Solo film.” writes @Realronhoward.

But unsurprisingly the internet has both jokes and opinions.

One good Simpsons joke

Lots of Arrested Development jokes

A certain amount of anxiety

But maybe to be fair?
