Great to see Lando back, I just assumed they would ignore him. I wonder how he'll react knowing Han is gone, or Luke for that matter. Hell even Leia since we know she won't be there.

The REAL question is, was Lando brought back because they had a good role for him?
Or because they killed off Skywalker and Solo, and Carrie Fisher died, leaving everybody in the lurch? Surely, the former. Surely. It could never be the former.

Han died because Harrisord Ford wanted out.
Luke died for story reasons and he'll be a Jedi Ghost so he'll be in the movie. Leia was obviously out of their control, for all we know she may not be literally killed off in universe. Lando has no reason to die. |

I'm happy Lando will be back, I mentioned it a long time ago that he should be back. I just hope he has a good role. Han Solo got turned into a chump, Luke got turned into a chump and yet they still shined in the films and were the good parts of Ep7/8. Leia was the only one that sucked in both her appearances, I'm glad Ep9 won't be "her" movie anymore even if it sucks that she died and won't get a satisfying send off (then again did Han/Luke?). At least Lando has less expectations so they can play around with his character more.
I found this video about Ep. IX and the state of Disney Star Wars, it's mostly good, the guy kinda babbles for too long on some points and diverges so just skip a few parts or watch at 1.5 speed but I did agree with most of his early points and his comparison of Ep. IX being micromanaged like Justice League might be true. |

Fans have been wanting to know what ever happened to Lando after the original trilogy ended. I'm glad that we will finally have an answer to that question.

If all he does is shuffle around guzzling Colt .45 in between trying to put the moves on Rey, I swear I'll forgive everything.

It makes you wonder if having Lando in "Solo" was a stealth method of generating buzz around the character before bringing him back in his original capacity in the primary series.

although they'd have to be pretty stupid not to realize that lando is just as popular as han solo. so much for progressiveness.

With Luke, Han, Ackbar, and potentially Leia gone, Lando is probably the last legacy character they have that people would recognize as someone who could play a pivotal role in leading the Rebels/Resistance.

I hope his role isn't a glorified cameo. For example. Rey, Finn and whoever needs to get to some place. Then Chewbacca says something. and 3CPio says. "He said that he knows someone. An old friend." and that's when we see Lando.
Keep in mind that Billy Dee Williams is 81 years old |

I'll bet a tenner right now, Lando Calrissian doesn't survive the movie.

People acting like them killing off Leia is some kind of certainty are delusional.
