Personally, I don’t really want spinoffs centered around established characters. Rogue One has a mostly new group of characters (AFAIK there’s only one guy from a Clone Wars episode or something, and Vader will probably be just a cameo), and I wish all the spinoffs would be the same way.

I think that you shouldn’t use established characters if they don’t serve the story. But if they logically fit into the story your telling then it only makes sense. A Han Solo Movie IMO doesn’t follow this. It’s an entire movie on one of the most loved characters of Star Wars. Whereas with Rogue One, it’s an exciting prequel to episode 4 that helps bridge the gap between 3 and 4. But the thing is, Lucasfilm has already said Vader isn’t just a cameo but he’ll have a prominent role. Is this forced like the Han Solo Movie? Not at all. Vader logically would be a huge part of the story they’re trying to tell. And if they give me more James Earl Jones with good diagloue and kicking ass then I’m fine because he fits in the story and it doesn’t shrink the universe. But a Han Solo cameo would shrink the universe because he has no place being there and it would be simply for fan service.

Same reason that Bail Organa will play a small role in this…cause he fits into the story. Being one of the creators of the alliance means that before his death he would be heavily involved in the Rebellion.
