- In June 2017, 4 months after the filming started, Disney and Lucas announced that due to creative differences, the original directors Phil Rhodes and Christopher Miller were fired by the production company and replaced by the 73-year-old director. Ron Howard took over directing, and more than 70% of the scenes were reshot.
- Before the filming started, Alden Ellenrich went to meet Harrison Ford, who has played the role of Han Solo many times, and asked about the communication between the characters.
- During the filming of the film, Alden Ellenrich encountered a major obstacle in imitating Harrison Ford's acting. Lucasfilm was quite dissatisfied with this and hired an acting director for him.
- The original villain of the film was an orc-like character, played by Michael Williams, but due to the schedule conflict of the remake, he had to delete all his scenes and temporarily replaced him with a substitute Paul Bettany.
- The costumes of the film are produced by the costume design team led by David Kreisman and Green Dillon for the film more than 1,000 costumes.
- In order to create a series of creatures beyond imagination, the film restores the story environment. Neil Skellen and his team have designed more than 500 alien creatures.
