I think you'll be just fine without it.

It was fine if you take it as a stand-alone action adventure movie.  It doesn't tell you much about the character that you didn't already know. You see some of the stuff that you already knew about him. He meets Chewbacca. He meets Lando.  He wins the Falcon in a card game. He makes the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs. He's all about the cash, except that he has a heart of gold. Etc.  You knew all this already.

I liked that they made a Star Wars movie with no Skywalkers, no Jedi, no Force, no fighting the Empire. It's some criminals, doing a heist, in a futuristic setting.  It shows a part of the Star Wars universe that you knew existed, but wasn't seen in other Star Wars movies.  And the young actors, especially Donald Glover, are good.  Donald Glover steals the show every time he's on the screen. But it's hardly essential viewing, even for Star Wars fans. It's just a fun movie.

See....this all SOUNDS great to me, but I felt like the execution was lacking. I do love me some Childish Gambino though, so I probably owe it to myself to at least stay awake until Lando shows up next time.
