Solo is the start of a brand new world for the Star Wars franchise, and its performance is going to potentially result in a lot of long-term decisions. Though making money at the box office isn't necessarily all Disney is looking at, the film's lack of ability to capitalize on its character isn't going to go over well.
Beyond simply being a specific character title, there's only so much Star Wars in this attempt at Star Wars, because it's largely just a heist movie. Without even the draw of Star Wars staple Jedi, the film has a serious uphill battle.
But, is it worth your time, and does it offer up the thrill ride you might be hoping for? Or, does development hell leave a film in a state that is just too hard to get out of?
