When Disney started rolling out their plans a long time ago for damn near every character in the Star Wars universe to have origin movies, the general reaction was one simple question: Why? Why was this necessary at all? It just seemed a bit needless, delivering nothing.
Well, turns out we were all right if Solo is any indication. Unlike Rogue One it doesn't deliver much new, doesn't open up any new characters, and doesn't hit with much emotional punch. The movie is needless, delivers nothing, and is devoid of almost anything important within the context of the Star Wars universe... and it kind of makes it a total blast.
