Fact is Han Solo is one of the very few main Star Wars characters who lacks an origin story, and there are a lot of unanswered questions in that regard i.e. how he got the Falcon, how he met Lando, how he met Chewbacca, how he made the Kessel Run & how he got his rep in general.
Origin story? Yes because we need to see how he got his powers?
Han Solo always worked best as an addition to the franchise. He gave the OT that comedic action/entertainment factor. Almost every scene with him in the OT was entertaining. Doing a "origin story" for him might Take that away from him. Just to answer questions we don't really need an entire film for. Or need answers to (how he got his name lol).
He would fit much better into other projects IMHO. As would Boba Fett.
And btw I'm not saying this is gonna suck. So far post Disney I've enjoyed the spin off's more than the Saga films. I'm just saying it wasn't the best choice in such a Vast Universe, not by a long shot. And regarding the OT, it's yet another indication Disney wants everything to revolve around that era.

Obi-Wan Kenobi? He's been sitting on Tatooine for 20 years, doing not a lot. And really, doesn't need to be doing a lot besides reflecting on the Force and protecting Luke from an odd gangster or a Krayt dragon. It makes for a good character study (of which several already exist) but I'm of the belief that these are best kept to books, comics etc., with a movie, you need a strong central plot and a three act structure, Kenobi could only get that through a series of contrivances. And there is not real justification for him leaving Tatooine.
They would probably have Vader in it, which Disney definitely wants to give us more of.
But honestly the main reason they're even considering this is because Ewan is still around and the right age for the project. And he's the one part of the PT everyone agrees they enjoyed, so a perfect way to link the PT to the new post Disney Star Wars world.
