It gives depth to A New Hope , as well as the following episodes, because both the dark and heroic parts of the Alliance & Rebels are explored.

Is Rogue One still canon?

Currently, the official Star Wars canon consists of 13 films: the nine episodes in the Skywalker Saga, two standalone films (Rogue One and Solo), and the 2008 animated feature film, The Clone Wars.

Should you watch Rogue One before a new hope?

Even though Rogue One is an immediate prequel to Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, it is not necessary to see them in that order. Rogue One has a slightly grittier tone than the Star Wars “Episode” films, and A New Hope is perfectly understandable without seeing Rogue One.

Will Rogue One have a sequel?

Rogue Squadron will be the next Star Wars movie to hit theaters, but a retcon to the team means it effectively serves as a sequel to 2016's Rogue One.

Do you have to watch Rogue One before solo?

Yes. Solo: A Star Wars Story takes place before Rogue One chronologically. Solo is also a very standalone film.

Is Solo before Rogue One?

That means you'll do Solo first, then Rogue One, and then the classic first film, A New Hope. The cool thing about this approach is that seeing Solo and Rogue One before A New Hope can make the Empire seem really dangerous, but won't ruin any of the surprises of who Darth Vader really is or what he's all about.
