No, they were going off-script and ruining Han's charcter for the sake of comedy and quippy humour. The guy who plays young Han himself grew concerned about this, because he of all people understood how crucial it is that he gets the role right (it's already bad enough for him that half the people are already dismissing the film simply for the fact that he isn't Harrison Ford). So he voiced his concerns to Kennedy, and when she demanded to see the preliminary cut, she was shocked how much off-script and out-of-chacrter Lord and Miller went (as well as reportedly making mediocre action scenes). When she asked them to reshoot the bad stuff, they refused, so Lucasfilm rightfully gave them the boot. I respect these two – The Lego Movie is probably my all-time favourite movie – but I'm firmly on Lucasfilm's side on this one.
