The second of Disney's 'A Star Wars story' spin-off from the main (numbered) films followimg Rogue One, this one is largely held responsible for Disney's decision to slow down on releasing this spins offs (originally intended to be one every other year, in between the main ones) when it underperformed at the box office.
Personally, I feel a large reason for that underperformance is that, of all the characters in the original saga, Han is probably one of those least in the need to get an origin/prologue movie and that this was released during the summer months instead of the more traditional festive release period for a Star Wars movie.
Whereas Rogue One was, largely, a war movie, this one takes a different approach: more of a heist (complete with double and triple crossing) Western movie, if anything.

Rogue One is a solid entry into the Star Wars canon. I loved all of the new characters, and the nods to the originals. Grand Moff Tarkin is one of my favorite characters, and I'm glad they included him; there couldn't have been a movie about the Death Star without him. While I didn't mind the CGI on Tarkin, the CGI Leia was completely unnecessary.
Also, the end with Vader owning everyone was one of the best parts of the movie.
