Ron Howard does good films...if the movie succeeds, it will be because Ron Howard was able to give some life back to the film. Ron Howard was in his later 20’s during the ‘70’s and knew the directors of that era well. He did a powerful movie called “Backdraft” as his first major smash. I almost wish that he could have been chosen to do the “Force Awakens”!

SAY WHAT! Don’t you remember that smash hit from the 1970s EAT MY DUST! in which lots of autos are destroyed? It was so appealing to the locals that the cars full of rednecks and Okies was lined up for a mile or so waiting to get into the drive-in theater on 11th st in Tulsa to see it!
We finally had to find a back way home, by way of the Apache St drive-in showing skin flicks, as the traffic was so thick on 11th.

The Ron Howard trailer shows Chewbacca and Han Solo walking down to the lake carrying fishing poles and Solo throwing a rock into the lake.

Ron Howard’s on cleanup duty. They fired the original directors and brought him in to finish it.
