Taylor Swift leaned in hard on late-night vibes with the release of Midnights, but real ones know she’s been burning the candle at both ends for some time now.

Now that Ron Howard has taken the reins of the untitled Star Wars Han Solo movie, we’re free to speculate on why exactly Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired. They’re experienced directors with successful movies on their résumé — including The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street, and its sequel — and have plenty of other prospects in Hollywood (including the Flash movie). But their time on the Han Solo set was described by a Variety source as “a culture clash from day one,” and a new Hollywood Reporter dispatch adds that much of the clashing came from Lord and Miller’s directing style, which relied on improv that Star Wars gatekeepers Lawrence Kasdan and Kathleen Kennedy disliked.
