Oh, he's dead.

He's dead as fuck.

I don't know who or what can save this trilogy now after the monstrosity of Ep. VIII but they gotta pull out all the stops.

 

[Mike]

It’s too late for stunt casting.

Lando may be returning in Ep9, the same way Admiral Akbar returned in Ep8.

*Lando sees Rey.
Lando - "Why hello there young girl, what's your...."
*EXPLOSION*
Rey - "I don't know who that black guy was, but he's dead now."

[El Che]

[Anung Un Rama]

He probably contracted Stuxnet from some filthy android (looking at you 3PO)

Billy Dee Williams to Return as Lando Calrissian in STAR WARS: EPISODE IX

Billy Dee Williams is returning to a galaxy far, far away. The actor, who famously played the galactic gambler Lando Calrissian, will reprise the role for Star Wars: Episode IX, the next Star Wars installment from Lucasfilm.

Chatter about Williams joining the production, which begins later this summer, increased in recent days when the actor bowed out of an upcoming sci-fi and pop culture convention citing a conflict with a movie schedule. Sources confirm to The Hollywood Reporter that Williams will indeed be returning to the Star Wars big screen for the first time since 1983’s Return of the Jedi. The character made his suave debut in Empire Strikes Back.

Williams has in recent years returned to the role that fuels his appearances on the convention circuit, voicing Calrissian in various cartoon series and video games.

The character is one of the more popular personages in the Star Wars universe and appeared in a major way in this year’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. Donald Glover slipped on the cape to play a younger Calrissian.

Episode IX is being directed by J.J. Abrams and will reunite Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver, among others. Keri Russell is one of the new additions to the cast. The film opens Dec. 20, 2019.

Great.

Get in a few lines and die off screen, then some new supersoy, "empowering" character comes out of fucking nowhere to steal his thunder.

That Lando comic miniseries that Maleev and Soule did was the bee's knees. Explained a bit on why Lobot is Lobot too.

He's dead as fuck.

God that's the first thing I thought, they're going to kill him so hard in front of our eyes. Maybe even in the first 15 minutes.

The quicker they kill him, the less they can drag him through the mud and humiliate him before doing so.

That was my other fear, that we'll get reattached to him again, we'll be reminded of how great he is, and then he gets executed by Crybaby in order to make what's her name realize he's all bad and that he has to go.

Yup, there's so many rules to the Star Wars lore that Disney is breaking, and they're about to break another one.

There can't be more than one black guy per movie.

After The Last Jedi, I would consider it a triumph if Lando is written in a manner that makes us get reattached to him. I'll take that over two hours of him acting like a dick and then being put out of his misery.

Well this all but confirms to me that Lando's the father. And Mara Jade's the mother, dun dun dunn, and Rey is the half sister of Finn. Luke and Mara had Rey, and then stuff happened and then Lando and Mara had Finn.

They won't make the same mistake twice, they'll make another, worse mistake, like faking us out when his ship blows up and then oh no he's been a jedi all along. Oh wait.

Your Lando theory sucks.
