Meh, seems like he'd be OK in about a... Leia in TFA or sub-Leia in TFA capacity.

Can't wait to see Lando revealed to be a failure before he is killed off.

I have to admit, I've always been curious as to how Lando's decisions for a cloud city in the wake of Imperial occupation, reviewed by the average citizen.

Would they see his decision making process?
Or would he come across as a quisling f*ck?

The word "fun" is the populist word for "drivel" these days

Better be a drivel than, than a supposedly artsy gourmet, who really is a no-lifer with stick up his ass.

Billy Dee Williams just cancelled a convention appearance. This just adds more fuel to the rumor of him returning as Lando in this film.

Slow down.

It's "Character Assassination" first, "Murder" second.

We absolutely wouldn't want anyone buying Lando action figures instead of Whatsisname and Whoozits.

I'm waiting for the reveal that Finn is his love child with Leia.

Is it too much to hope for Mara Jade or Ahsoka?

Probably zero chance of it literally being Mara Jade... but it could be a Mara Jade-like character. Keri Russell could easily pass for Daisy Ridley's mother.

There was this, a month ago:

She has a great history with J.J. Abrams. They worked together on both Felicity and Mission Impossible III.

Oh definitely the so-called hardcore fans. No question.
Because they should seriously know better.
It's not like they don't use the exact same tactics themselves.

Would be fans doing all this and receive such publicity without journalists chasing opportunity to have "hot sensations"?

They both suck. Obviously the ****** fans who think they have some sort of ownership over Star Wars are the worst because there's no reason for a rational person to act like that. It doesn't help things when you have these sites who are monetizing the fan outrage with clickbait articles to fan the flames.
