Are they bringing back Billy Dee, or using the guy from Solo: A Star Wars Story?

probably Donald Glover I've seen some places saying its him but waiting for confirmation on it

Has to be the new younger Lando, of course. He did a decent job in the movie I thought.

*frank_one* · 12-10-2020, 07:11 PM

I wouldn't mind if they throw in some older Lando flash forward narration with Billy Dee, something like the Young Indiana Jones TV series.

That was my first thought. Might as well utilize Billy Dee in some capacity while you can.

But yeah, if this was ever going to be anything, it was always going to be Donald Glover: The Series.

What bet is that a lot of those "early in development" stuff's gonna be canceled?

Or won't come out for 5 years or so. Remember, Obi-Wan was officially announced August of 2019 and here they are "announcing" it again and it won't even show up until maybe early 2022.

A lot of the stuff they were announcing was projected for 2023 (not specifically the Star Wars stuff). And those dates are definitely going to slip and slide.

I feel like the projects themselves are pretty likely to stick. Now that they feel like they know how to do Star Wars without Skywalkers.

The show is in the works again.

Sounds like Billy Dee Williams will be in it. The timing probably isn't coincidental.

I'd rather see a Billy Dee Lando movie or show than anything to be honest.

The guy can barely move now. Some present day narrative with him is about all we could expect.

Disney get cold feet on yet another SW project. It's been shelved.

Says the director/writer of "Dear White People." This is who they wanted go helm Lando? Yeah, this can go and f*** off.

*CyberCubed* · 08-03-2024, 04:14 PM

Good, Disney really should not have made a lot of their Star Wars shows. Even the Mandalorian got worse in Season 3.
