Everyone responsible for making Solo was feeling the pressure. Since the previous Star Wars film, The Last Jedi, didn’t make as much money at the box office as Lucasfilm had expected, this movie simply couldn’t flop. If they wanted to keep making Star Wars movies, they had to make this movie profitable. So directors Lord and Miller reportedly always had someone breathing down their necks, and clashing with them about how to do things. “They definitely felt the pressure; with one of these movies, there are so many people on top of you all the time,” a source who was on-set told Vulture. With such a huge production, and such a significant franchise, they needed to get it exactly right.
