Not really. Because it's a prequel. There's no concern about her living or dying. IMO, it's also why Solo wasn't a good movie. There's supposed to be all these tense moments where you aren't sure what'll happen but they fall flat because you already know the future.
I think Solo fell flat because they made all the interesting adventures you heard about in the OT happen in a single week. Solo isn't a daring adventurer with a long and storied history, he's a guy who had one exciting week. Also he's supposed to have been a liar when he said he made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, but Solo retconned it so he was telling the truth. Which means Solo's arc in Star Wars from scumbag to hero isn't as steep or dramatic.
