What to me worked on Rogue one was that it was a whole new set of characters and the OT were really there to play a supporting role.
With Solo it was a reliance on Solo and Chewie,
I mean frankly Tarkin was awesome, but he was really just there to be a jerk. Vader was in the shadows but when he stepped out of the shadows it was to push through the hero's jeopardy.
