I figure, they gotta keep the franchise name alive after 9, so their setting their precedent from the off...

They can't, there was already a Tamil-Malayalam film called Solo released last year, its a bilingual anthology film.
There's also a Canadian thriller from 2013.
And a Telugu language film in 2011.
Oh and an Australian documentary in 2008.
Can't forget the 2006 Australian film that was written and directed by Morgan O'Neill.
Then there was a 1996 science fiction action film.
Preceded 19 years early by a New Zealand film.
And finally a 1969 film that was directed by Jean-Pierre Mocky.
You can see where I'm going with this, right?
Tova:
I don't understand what's wrong with it, myself.
It's maybe a bit superfluous now, but when they make a Thrawn movie*, it won't be obvious to a great many people.
* No idea if they will, just chose it because I've just picked up the recent Thrawn novel.

For people who aren't into Star Wars (I know, it seems strange to me too), then that sub title is important. It sets up these projects as part of the franchise. Every other Star Wars movie has had it in the title. Though people generally just use the sub title for convenience, it's always been Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back etc.
BenRG:
I really don't see why they couldn't just call it 'Star Wars - Solo'. Now they routinely put the episode numbers in the film titles, there is no risk of people mistaking them for main thread stories.
