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.
I agree with you about Rogue One but it made less box office money than Episode VII and VIII which shows that a lot of fans still want to see the old characters. I was so jaded after TLJ that my expectations going into Solo were very low but it at least exceeded those expectations as it was a good not great film. It's kind of unfortunate that it didn't do well at the box office as the advantages of the spin off is a different and fresher storyline.
