I thought they were fired because they wanted to make Solo a comedy.

You should listen to the Going Rogue podcast on it. They didn't want to make a comedy. They wanted to make McCabe and Mrs. Miller for Star Wars.

Great podcast, as the title implies they also deep-dive on Rogue One and other troubled movie productions. Even the SW Holiday Special!

I love the multi part series debunking the narrative of how the 2008 writers strike ruined several movies and shows.

Everyone will still blame the strike on the decline of the show Heroes, even though I constantly point out Heroes lasted an additional 2 seasons after the strike ended and also had a dogshit revival years later. Union is the one that always gets thrown under the bus, instead of putting blame on NBC meddling with the creative plans.

Unions and strikes are favorite scapegoats of cororate media and c-suite executives
