Sounds like Rogue One messed up their entire view of the SWU. Rogue One IS a dark movie, in spite of Gilroy's re-shoots, and it not only is an amazing Star Wars film but was a financial triumph for Disney. It seems like this Han Solo movie was going to play on a young Solo with his swagger and "aw-shucks" confidence, leading to a light hearted movie. But with R1 fresh in everyone's minds, maybe they felt a little more serious angle needed to be taken?
That's all just speculation on my part, but I do stand by my theory that Rogue One showed KK, Lucasfilms, and Disney that there is another way to shoot a Star Wars movie; that the ESB format does appeal to a mass audience....
