The directors of the upcoming Star Wars Han Solo spin-off have abandoned the project halfway through production. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller-whose directorial credits include The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street-have cited "creative differences" for leaving the production, which stars Alden Ehrenreich as a young version of Han Solo.

"Unfortunately, our vision and process weren't aligned with our partners on this project," Lord and Miller said in a statement. "We normally aren't fans of the phrase 'creative differences' but for once this clichi(C) is true. We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew."

"Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented film-makers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew," said Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. "But it's become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we've decided to part ways."
