Does the Deniro half of godfather 2 count as a prequel?
....yes...a significant portion of that movie was setting up the backstory of the franchise. A mob movie has a billion different threads, so, it usually makes for a good prequel situation.
A movie like The Usual Suspects, although bouncing from present to past is told mostly in a retrospective, is not a prequel as is not a part of a series of movies.
A movie like Solo, is bound to fail. They could have gone pure mob/smuggler/dark. But Disney won't. Plus, the backstory there is known by all the fans---except where Disney deviates--which in turn, will piss off the majority of fans you had, and the new ones wouldnt know the difference anyway. So, pointless prequel (same as the three main Star Wars prequels, the stories had been hashed out already, so, you could either mess with what is known and piss everyone off, or tell a boring story that everyone knows).
