It's totally different to rogue one. Whether or not you liked rogue one's execution, the premise made sense in advance. Stuff happened to get the data to the rebels at the beginning of a new hope, and that stuff could have made a good story. A new hope was the ending of someone else's story.
Solo doesn't. The character of Han Solo at the beginning of a new hope only works as a character at the beginning of a movie. He can't have a character arc, so it's a movie about a character who has to be completely static.
Chewbacca would make a much better movie. How did he go from commander of the Wookiee to random smuggler? He doesn't have that much characterization, which would allow the movie more freedom to do what it wanted.Who said that?
Chamber. It's all a conspiracy.

Seriously, what are you talking about? Han Solo has a life before Mos Eisley Cantina. Even discounting what is hinted in theprequelsLucas remixes, that's like saying Obi-Wan has to be static.Retired as of October 2014.- Who

That's completely different. Obi-wan was the wise mentor, there are plenty of good character arcs which end with a character in position to be the wise mentor. Solo started off as just a standard jerk, there's not many ways to end like that, and none that would fit with Han Solo.In post 361, Mr. Flay wrote:

Does it involve Chewbacca's wife watching a cooking show, his dad watching softcore porn, and his son watching an instruction video to assemble a communicator?In post 360, Annadog40 wrote:There was a Chewbacca movie already though.- shaft.ed

The Solo books that were pre-ANH had good arcs I can't see how you can claim Solo HAS to be static.Only playing in games at personal moderator and/or 50%+ playerlist request.

solo's going to be very pretty but feel kind of empty
it will be miles better than the last jedi, but won't even come close to the original trilogy
agreed with TIAF that it'll be messy af and not very coherent
but it'll still probably be fun to watch at the very least, since they can't ruin han solo like they ruined luke- Cheetory6

Even discounting what is hinted in theprequelsLucas remixes, that's like saying Obi-Wan has to be static.likehans solo being a nobody who's memorandum are the adventures he had with princess leya and luke. it gives elevation to an ordinary character in which the star wars legacy really needs. I really need a warm epsom salt bath to wash away theflying carrie fisherand theluke toss my light saber to the ground and burn the jedi temple skywalkercharacter development ofthe last jedimovie.
I lovedrogue one. it was a fun. and it did exactly what it was supposed to do which was to grab emotion and hope that was felt back when thestar warsmovies first came out.
I feel like an explanation of hans solo will only take away from who his character represented and the mystery around it. he died a noble death.
leave him alone.
eta1: if lucasfilms/disney wants to do spinoffs why not do 1 based on yoda or maz. that wld be infinitely more interesting.whew!- zoraster

the opinion that han solo should not have a backstory and be left somewhat of an enigma but yoda should have his fleshed out is not one I agree with.
i'm not sure how i feel about han solo getting a movie (probably largely dependent on movie quality), but yoda to me is the perfect example of someone who's best left as a mystery.
one of the problems with a han solo movie is that it probably has to portray him as some level of heroic by the end in order to have a character arc. But that somewhat dilutes the power of ANH.. - zoraster
