text: Speculation has swirled over the creative differences that led to Lord and Miller leaving Solo, with some reports citing their preference for improvising and ad-libbing scenes as a sticking point. It’s a rumour that Howard himself says is “so not true”, adding that his own time shooting the film involved deviating from the script. "The reality is Phoebe [Waller-Bridge] was ad-libbing a lot of her stuff, so was Donald [Glover]. Larry and Jon [Kasdan] were delighted by all that, so it's not like they're writers that were insisting that everybody stick to the letter of the script,” he clarified. “They appreciated the contributions of the cast."
