Rogue One (2016). The first cut reportedly was a mess. Original director was fired. Ron Howard Someone else was brought in as a replacement. They re-wrote and re-shot about half the movie.
There are some great scenes in the original trailer that are not in the movie as a result, and that sucks, but I think we can all agree that the movie came out awesome regardless.
Edit: Fixed. Same result, though.

Wrong movie. Ron Howard had nothing to do with Rogue One. He took over on Solo.
Reportedly the things they made Edwards change on Rogue One, while big, were more in the vein of rearranging and adding more emotional weight to the last act battle, but he stayed onboard the whole time.

You got almost everything right. It was Tony Gilroy, not Ron Howard that came in to salvage Rogue One. Which is probably why they also gave Gilroy the prequel show to Rogue One, Andor.

was Gareth Edwards(Evans?) fired? I swore he was involved in reshoots but shared it with Gilroy. I recall Gareth talking about the Vader sequence being part of reshoots and he even cameoed in it, too. He also invited Peter Jackson to the set that day but didn’t tell him what they were filming
