A trailer won’t be released until there’s a solid rough edit completed because if they hand over footage to be cut into a trailer and some of that footage doesn’t appear in the film (ala Rogue One) they’ll face a backlash, which is something they don’t need at this point.

In addition, Lucasfilm only promotes one Star Wars film at a time. Rogue One had no trailer at this time in 2016 because the focus was still on TFA. There was no TLJ trailer at this time last year because the focus was R1.
I would expect the Solo marketing push to begin mid-January once the TLJ has run its course in theatres...the marketing needs to start earlier than R1 or TLJ due to the May release date.
