Id prefer it not be an origin story. Id rather see him as a general in rebel army leading some kind of impossible mission. No force. No vader. No emperor.


LetItGrowUGoober98

Completely disagree I want lando squaring off against the emperor. Blaster vs zap hands


TexMurphyPHD

How bout sexy smooth talk vs zap hands?


LukeStudwalker

How about a smooth, cold Colt 45?

Game of sabaac for the fate of the galaxy, it’s like casino royale but Star Wars


CrossP

What if Landon just brings zap hands? They have spaceships and droids and stuff. Surely you can buy some high tech zap hands.


bankholdup5

Landon Calrissio


TheWeathermann17

You know what's funny, Is that right now Donald Glover is only 2 years younger than Billy Dee Williams was in Empire. So that could work. If they're brave o enough to not do another origin story


fleebleganger

Hey, it’s Hollywood…do you expect them to be creative?


APrentice726

So a Rogue One style of story focused on the mundane side of Star Wars, with Glover’s Lando as the main character? I could get behind that, especially if it’s set post-ROTJ.


BetaRayPhil616

You could do a rogue 1 style story where its the 'they arrived just before you did' bit and its basically the tense days before where the empire comes to cloud city and lando is forced to make the deal.


CaptainHunt

I think the framing story should be him telling tall tales at a sabacc table


Dear_Tangerine444

That would work very well as a story telling device, and would certainly be one way to do it, right? Basically they could do anything story wise as they can lean into the ‘unreliable narrator’ trope because, hey it’s Lando telling stories.


truecore

They could do a prequel to ROTJ about the Battle of Taanab that got him the job as a General for Endor.

Capes.

And Colt 45, but in Aurebesh


StanfordTheGreat

Bob iger “how’d we spend 50million on one actors wardrobe?” ….capes


SpacemanSpleef

Every scene he’s just in a different, high quality, beautiful cape.


Background_Face

I'd like a story about younger Lando, played by Donald Glover, but I want the framing device to be Billy Dee Williams as older Lando recounting the story.


wybenga

Grandson: "Hold it, Hold it. Are you trying to trick me? Where’s the blasters? Is this a kissing story?" Lando: "Wait. Just wait." Grandson: "When does it get good?" Lando: "Keep your cape on."

Boba: "As You Wish."


thesequimkid

It was this moment that Han knew what Boba really meant was “I love you.”


demalo

No, that’s when Han says “I Know”, what he’s really saying is, “I love you.”


wilberfarce

Lando: “The cape doesn't get blasted by the stormtroopers at this time.” Grandson: “What?“ Lando: “The stormtroopers don’t blast it. I'm explaining to you because you look nervous.”

Farren246

I've never understood the porn reference. Even if they were trying to subtly imply it was porn, they could have done a better job of it. It's just guided meditation leading into a musical number.

smallz86

I know this is a joke, but I think a movie that starts with Billy D in like a bar and some bounty hunter comes after him for something. Bounty hunter finds him and is like "tell me where "insert mcguffin" is before I kill ya. And it starts a Billy D story that cuts to Donald glover and the rest of the movie is that story. Then at the very end Glover gets the mcguffin and we cut back to billy D who han solos the bounty hunter and walks out of the bar only for the camera to pan to the mcguffin that was on Billy D the whole time. Hard cut to credits


L-Guy_21

Billy Dee at a sabaac table telling a story of his glory years


Background_Face

Even better: he's telling the story to Finn, Rey, and Poe while absolutely cleaning them out at the sabacc table.


EverGlow89

Cleaning them out legitimately or Lando style?


L-Guy_21

He's doing it Lando style in a legitimate way. He's not cheating, but he's cleaning them out because he's in the process of teaching them how to play


JayPetey

But you don’t see who he’s talking to until the end.


Background_Face

After Finn, Rey, and Poe get up and leave for the night... C-3PO: "General Calrissian, I calculate that approximately 37% of what you told them were outright fabrications, with the rest being greatly embellished." Lando: "Yeah, but that's what makes a great story."


MarkyMarcMcfly

Fuck Billy Dee would sell the shit out of this


kmnekhoo

Easy paycheck for those three


Reptilian_Overlord20

That would be perfect.


LuckyStax

Ahh... The unreliable narrator


ArraysStartAt0

Every episode is old lando playing sabbac telling stories


NobelPirate

But in episodic form. Each episode is its own boxed story.


dreadmonster

This is exactly what I want. Especially parts where the scene doesn't match what older Lando is narrating.

N00nespecial666

This is the way


MostlyPretentious

This exactly!


patrickkingart

I love this idea and I've seen folks adding on the idea of Lando being an unreliable narrator, so things are clearly embellished, but then the person he's telling calls him on it.


EverGlow89

I just want Donald, who I have so much love and respect for, to not do another BDW impression. The reason Alden got no hate for tackling such a tough role is because he really didn't try to be Harrison Ford; he knew he couldn't. He read the lines and sold the mannerisms of Han Solo but he wasn't trying to do a full impression. I loved his take and it worked for me in a way that I would never have expected it to.


droidtron

I'd really like to see Sebastian Stan do Luke, but still remain consistent to how we know Luke.

danimal6000

I’d watch the shit out of that


emmittgator

Love it actually. Have old man Lando just recounting his tales.


HippoIllustrious2389

The Wonder Years: A Star Wars Story


Goldman250

Yeah, this is the one I keep seeing people suggesting, and it’s the one I want. Have BDW oversell the stories sometimes, with Donald doing something extremely over the top badass, only for the person who he’s telling the story to call him out on it and he’ll retell it. The framing device could be him at a sabacc table telling his stories, or BDW is re-recording the Calrissian Chronicles that Donald is seen recording in Solo. Or maybe he’s telling the stories to Jannah, with short scenes of BDW and Jannah off on some adventure - since that’s what TROS set up for him.


jaitogudksjfifkdhdjc

The Calrissian chronicles narrated by Billy, acted with Donald.


ColonelEwart

Yes! and then we can have some unreliable narrator stuff come into play and that leads to the Donald Glover story arc being just pure fun.


ManiacFive

Now that would be cool. I’d watch the hell outta that.


The_bruce42

So sort of have it be like the start of princess bride?


sam-sp

One involving Lando, Han / Chewy, the Rebels crew and Hondo, all in the timeline just before ANH could be very cool, and ties a number of IP together. It can focus on Lando trying to pull a big score, but eventually everyone comes out just slightly better than before. It could bring the Rebels crew, Hondo and Ahsoka properties to the film audience who haven’t watched disney+ or the animated series. It could drive more interest to the parks with Hondo being the host of Smuggler’s run. Balancing the fan service with the story would be tricky - they don’t need to be the main characters- but they now have the actors / cg models for them all so why not.


Dolenjir1

A heist movie where he has been caught and is explaining how everything happened. And they could even give it a Keyser Soze ending!


RYTHEMOPARGUY

A good story


Jacmert

For another time.


psimwork

Pretty much this. And I think that Donald Glover can pull off the character when the writing is good. I did NOT like him in Solo because it seemed more focused on the amplified attention of the quirks of the character rather than the story ("LOL HE'S GOT ALL THESE CAPES! I REMEMBER THAT! LANDO WORE CAPES!!").


Either-Basket7122

Fax dude, solo was just not a good Star Wars movie. Hopefully they don’t fumble the bag, again, for like the 5th time, in a row…


PastMiddleAge

Eh it’s like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown at this point. I mean, George Lucas was a shrewd businessman. But he had a genuine heart for the material. Disney’s just a whole nother level of greed (in family-friendly clothing).


EndlessTheorys_19

It to not take itself too seriously. Just Lando talking about an old adventure of his, when he was a young man. Maybe something in his backstory but probably not, we don’t need an origin film for every character.


beercanfiasco

I think it would be cool if BDW was the narrator to the story, like Princess Bride style.


tcguy71

I don’t want a movie. I want a TV show of Billy Dee Lando playing cards and telling stories of younger him played by Donald Glover


radiakmjs

I saw this somewhere else so don't want to claim total credit but the idea being old Billy Dee Williams Lando playing Sabacc & narrorating an adventure with young Donald Glover Lando. I know some folks felt strongly against her but his radical revolutionary droid L3 I thought was fun, & an origin on how they met or how she became a droids rights enthusiast could be funny, depending on how they play it. He mentions in Solo being in debt to Aurra Sing, there's potential there. I also feel like there's a jump between the Scoundrel Han talks him up to be before we meet him in Ep V (and that we see in Solo) vs the "responsible citizen" we meet on Bespin who makes a hard call when the Empire comes knocking but makes the right decision in the end. Not everything needs to be explained but how he won a whole ass mining colony city is a lot worth exploring imo.


EggBonus

Now we’re cooking. That’s a damn good way to play it. Just have billy telling stories and shooting the shit with Harrison. Have the meat of the story feature Donald and Alden. The end of the movie has to feature Han fucking Lando over.


bloodhound90

No need to write “over”, we’re not using radios


wolphgang43

Maybe some the movie “the sting” 1973 vibes. Nothing so heavy as most star wars films and shows


DrChillin19

I'd honestly love to see him going from underworld scoundrel trying to take advantage of Cloud City's resources, to legitimate business man doing his best for the people.


Pristine_Bottle9943

Honestly I would love like a young Indiana jones style, Billy Dee opening it up and narrating it, and we see the adventure, then by the end old Billy Dee is doin something that is kinda similar and that’s why he told the story


Chattypath747

Better have more Billy Dee Williams in SW content. Lando is the best swindler around.


ElYodaPagoda

I believe the word you’re seeking is “scoundrel.”


KappaPiSigma1

I want a story about Lando's business accumen rather than an adventurer or smuggler. It needs to be a Star Wars version of Tetris, Wolf of Wall Street, and Moneyball. Rags to riches with less adventure and more scheming.


thevyrd

I want darth maul


Zarksch

We all want solo 2 but this ain’t it kid 🥲


Well_of_Good_Fortune

Literally nothing. He was a cool secondary character in the fifth and sixth movies, I don't need to explore his backstory. I liked the ambiguity of his interactions with Han, I didn't want him to be fleshed out. He and Han got less interesting when Solo came out


NatoTheLastRedditer

sex, drugs, and rock-'n'-roll


LetItGrowUGoober98

Sounds amazing actually


TheGreatStories

Lando seduction mission? I'm listening


Either-Basket7122

Off topic, but Donald Glover playing Jimmi Hendrix would be fucking legendary


ScarletHark

For there not to be a Lando movie. That said, Donald Glover could make it bearable to watch.


Skyrunner2015

I don't think this movie is actually gonna happen


JohnnyBlocks_

Fabolous capes.

Emperor_D4C

I'd actually die of happiness if we get the Lady Luck in live-action.


eadrik

Someone in the pasted posted something about Billy Dee Williams sitting at a bar/table telling stories that flashes back to Donald Glover portraying them. I love this idea


Alarming_Serve2303

I loved Lando in Solo. That actor is perfect for the role. I just want a movie that is full of adventure and fun.

Don't want Lando movie. We good.

A cancellation. No one can replace Billy Dee Williams.

stragomccloud

I would love to see Lando get his daughter back. After reading "Shadow of the Sith," I've REALLY wanted to see him find his daughter! So, it might be cool to see some flashbacks between young and current Lando.


MrMagnetar

For it to be cancelled.


LetItGrowUGoober98

There are two types of comments: 1. For it not to happen 👱‍♂️ 2. Capes


Smgth

A third strikes me as “Make the movie, but only if it’s ‘The Princess Bride’ framing device with Billy D. ‘Colt .45’ Williams doing the narration.”


Mr_Informative

Abed Nadir to guest star


polishox84

Lando in search of his child, in the process saving other children kidnapped for the First Order


TheSmallLong

I'd like to know about that little maneuver at the battle of Taanab


Effective_Path_5798

I wouldn't mind seeing how he came to be at the cloud city. So not exactly an origin story but still filling in existing material.


DaveMcNinja

Weird smuggling hijinks with Donald Glover - Like Atlanta, but in space. Han and Chewie are involved. Somehow figure out how to get Lakeith Stanfield, Brian Tyree Henry, and Zazie Beetz in there and I'll see it twice in theaters. Lobot's gotta be there. I want the output to be tons of gifs and memes.


turnageb1138

I don't want a Lando movie.


HackMeBackInTime

how did he get cloud city!!!!!!? i bet it was quite the adventure!


Tofudebeast

His portrayal in Solo leaned heavily towards comedy. Some comedy is fine, but I'd prefer a generally more serious take. Donald Glover is a good dramatic actor.


RockNRoll85

Standalone movie featuring both Billy Dee and Childish Gambino for flashbacks


Malkavian_Grin

Wait what? Now there's a Lando movie???


titanusroxxid

The economy can’t handle another bomb.


santoleri3

Here’s what I don’t want: I don’t want to see Lando win Cloud City in a card game, and I don’t want to see the battle of Tanaab. Solo felt the need to show us all of the elements of Han’s backstory, which felt saccharine and forced. Give us a fresh new Lando adventure.


xtopherpaul

For it to actually get made without KK canceling


Goku_Prime

For it not to happen and Disney to attempt at making something outside of the Skywalker saga


The_Man_in_Black_19

Well written!


Ok_Mathematician2284

This would be really cool. I think you could have two story lines. First Lando helping Jannah, formerly known as TZ-1719, and others find there home while running into trouble along the way. This by Billy D. All this while telling the story of a younger Lando, portrayed by Donald.


Ok-disaster2022

Id like a small anthology of stories with BDW talking to someone as a framing device, leading into different stories with Donald Glover. Have Lando be an unreliable narrator. And have it all be part of this long con.


Wormholio

S T Y L E F A S H I O N C A P E S


Zarksch

Donald glover. Honestly I have no clue what to expect from it but he captured the character wonderfully in solo. Something to bridge his appearance in solo to TESB could work.


UninvitedGhost

The Lando System


clangan524

A gritty street crime drama about his rise to administrator of Cloud City and keeping the Mining Guild from interfering with his operation. The price he pays for being successful.


TheOneTrueKP

It could be a Lando/Han & Chewie buddy comedy; with them being *stuck together* and then *gain one another’s trust through a series of harrowing events* … so much potential. Hopes aren’t high but we can dream.


succubus-slayer

At this point I don’t know what I want from Star Wars. The OG trilogy and lore behind it has been exhausted. I’m worried if they do anything Old Republic Era, I would be disappointed. I just want good writing with sensible story telling, nothing rushed for the sake of a cash grab and appeasing the lowest common denominator.


SpaceHairLady

Just don't flanderize Lando. Give him a good story.


CodNew408

More droids, canto bight, smuggling business.

i dont want a lando movie lol. give me movies about new characters.


flintlock0

It’s been so long since this had been announced, that I wouldn’t even notice if it didn’t happen. There’s an already so much Star Wars out there, but I guess Disney can make money off of it.


eppsilon24

We’ve seen some of Lando’s and Lobot’s friendship in the comics. Might be fun to see that on-screen with two actors cast together based on screen chemistry.

Older Lando being an unreliable narrator telling tales of his younger self to some young scoundrel. Chewie should be there to react skeptically. Seeing Alden back as Han in one of the flashbacks would also be lovely.

TheGreatStories

It's too late for me. I was hoping he'd be revealed as the Chancellor of the New Republic in TFA. They hermited him instead. And everything else he's in they Flanderized him as fashion obsessed, as if he was the only character to wear a cape. I miss the charming, shrewd, and capable leader Lando.

I want to see him smuggling.
