In many ways yes.
-young Jedi in training goes to reluctant master, leaves to help friends without heeding his advice.
-Rebels are on the run from and attack by the first order and the climax is them escaping despite being out manned.
-hero learns the truth about their parents (granted the truth here was unspectacular)
-villain ends the film trying to get the hero to join him but the hero refuses and is left spurned as the hero escapes.
The Hollywood Reporter - Lucasfilm "Licking Their Wounds" But Not Halting 'Star Wars' Development
Disney and Lucasfilm are reassessing their plans for future Star Wars movies in the wake of the disappointing performance of Solo: A Star Wars Story, which is having to fight to make much more than $350 million worldwide, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter."It doesn’t mean those spinoffs don't happen," says another insider of Solo's underperformance globally. "It just means they’re trying to figure out how to make, and market, them differently.""They were developing anything and everything," says another exec. "It was a case of them stuffing so much sausage and not try to break the casing."https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...opment-1122655"In light of the reaction to Last Jedi and the performance of Solo, they are now just going to look at what’s coming in and seeing how good it is, before dating anything," says one insider. "It’s all pretty understandable."
You know, I'm ok with them slowing it down and making sure they get it right. I loved Solo, but behind the scenes it was a mess. Had they had the right director in place from the get go it likely would have done better. I was honestly dreading it until I saw the first trailer. That said, I very much would still love to see a new Star Wars movie every year.

It was unfounded. The original story said they were concretely shutting down all Anthology films except the Fett film. That's not what's happening, they're just changing their marketing model and sounds like they're screening more carefully the upcoming projects. Thus the original story was inaccurate. Thus unfounded.

I’m super excited for my favorite characters solo film! Glad it’s back on!
AKA FlashFreak
Favorite Characters:
DC: The Flash (Jay & Wally), Starman- Jack Knight, Stargirl, & Shazam!.
MARVEL: Daredevil, Spider-Man (Peter Parker), & Doctor Strange.
Current Pulls: Not a thing!
Agreed, Obi Wan is the one I definitely want to happen. Boba would be more of a happy extra, assuming that the script and story is done right. Outside that I would prefer if most of the anthology movies explored periods outside of the time between 3 and 4.
The Obi-Wan film is not back on, read the story more carefully.
