I think Ron Howard is definitely a step in the right direction. I think it would be interesting to see what L&M had made in the end but not in a good way as I also didn’t really think in the first place that they were in any way a good pick to direct this movie.

The next step in the right direction (IMHO) would be to recast Emilia Clarke (probably not possible this far in though 😕 ). She was pretty good in the first 2-3 seasons of Game of Thrones but by 5-6 I nearly can’t stand her and I didn’t think much of her performance in the latest Terminator movie (Genisis? Didn’t think much of the movie either 😉 ). She could be alright for all I know but I find (at least for myself) that Star Wars works a lot better for establishing believable characters when you don’t know any of the actors which is a lot easier when you cast fairly unknown but competent or very promising actors. Seeing Samuel L Jackson (playing Samual L Jackson rather than his character) pop into scenes of Star Wars is quite the distraction that it pulls you out of the movie even when expecting it on repeat viewings.
