Then you've got a land of mute, scared brown folks who are just exotic, gritty, background decoration.

They try and be surprising by making Enfys Nest, the leader of the pirates a young woman of colour (played by Erin Kellyman who I definitely want to see more of!) but she doesn't really do anything. Han is the one who comes up with and executes the plan to help fund the rebellion

The movie is trying to play with themes of resisting oppression and fighting for justice by showing the origins of the Rebel Alliance and having a droid uprising but it's just sort of wedged in as an awkward side note instead of being a more important plot point.

What is it that you wanted from a younger solo? He's young. A young solo hasn't seen the same amount of hard ship, for example war and the loss of friends that he has fought with.
