"Solo" is a solid film but after the financial drubbing it's taken I think they'd be stupid to tell more "backstories of already-dead people". They have to make chicken salad out of chicken shit and do something with the trio of Rey, Kylo, and Finn. Since they never actually SAID that Rey's parents were average know-nothings, they can still somehow bring into the story something that gives her more juice (e.g. she's Luke's daughter, or a descendant of Obi-Wan's). Maybe they do something like totally flip the roles and have Kylo get a conscience while Rey goes bad. I dunno. Something. Bringing Luke back as a force ghost helps, but they can't do anything with Leia (the one character they SHOULD'VE killed off, since Fisher actually died, instead of killing the two other actors who are still alive) so there are no other characters to get into the action at this point.
