As you describe this, Thor, I wonder why you like Solo A Star Wars Story as this is just one long more or less superfluous back story.

A really painful example I found the second season of The Last Of Us. It starts some time later after season one. You see that the relation of the protagonists deteriorated. You get a few hints here and there why that is, and that was fine with me. I got, that’s the situation. Now the story can go on. But more or less after accepting this as the premise of the next story the season used the rest of the time explaining in flashbacks how it came to that situation. But there I didn’t want to know anymore. Something happene. Fine. I don’t need to know. Go on.

If you wanna tell me how it came to this don’t start with the ending.
