Star Wars: 10 Directors Who Could Fix Han Solo

7. James Gunn

Why He Could Fix It: James Gunn is doing great things for Disney right now, having delivered more than $1.5 billion from the two Guardians of the Galaxy movies, so it wouldn't be at all surprising if a filmmaker as well-versed in sci-fi action would land the Han Solo gig.

With his penchant for sharp visuals and snappy dialogue, he could probably do fine work picking up the pieces from this production.

How Likely Is It?: Gunn's schedule is looking pretty clear until 2019 when he'll presumably get to work shooting Guardians Vol. 3, so he's certainly got ample time to get this movie done stress-free.

He should definitely be considered a top-tier candidate, if Kathleen Kennedy isn't fed up of audacious young-ish artists after clashing with Lord and Miller. 8/10
