He said he is having a ‘fantastic creative experience’ with the new Star Wars film.

Ron Howard has shared a sneak peek at the new Star Wars movie, after assuring fans the production is “coming along great”.

Howard stepped in to direct the standalone Han Solo film in June, after original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller left the project over “creative differences”.

He has now shared two images on Instagram showing droids on the set of the as yet untitled film.

One saw Howard leaning close to one of the robots and he quipped: “This needed to discuss its motivation before a take for #UntitledHanSoloMovie.”
