It is known that Young Lando did not project the grace under pressure of his older self, and Donald is a worthy choice to portray the early days prior to his transformation.

Word. Billy dee Williams is just so fricking cool. Lando was pretty much tailor made for him

Now some weird hipster midget dude is going to try to pretend to be as cool as billy dee Williams is and has been since the day he was born

I agree. It's dumb that they're even making this movie.

I think he will do fine as long as they dont make him make any stupid cliche jokes and one liners like Fin does but i would have rathered they cast a new actor like the rest.


Dont really mind either way as long as he does a good job as im sure he will. He better have they sexy stash though!

Since when is 5'10 a midget?

Also as someone who has seen much of Donald's work he can really turn off the nerdy persona and turn on the charm if necessary.

Have you ever even listened to a Childish Gambino album? Assuming not. The guy isn't some fairy arse hipster. When he wants to, he can be hard as hell and I think he'll be great for the part.

Glover is too much of a beta nerd, he's also a very short guy...Lando was a swashbuckling pirate who was a MAN just like Solo...he loved women, gambling, and being a badass...black women swooned over Billy Dee Williams..he was smooth and cool...Denzel before Denzel



He's short, but I feel like the Nerd thing only works if you don't know about Childish Gambino

This besides Billy Dee was more player than gangster which is exactly Glover as Gambino.

I'm still shocked little boy blue isn't here to complain about more black actors in Star Wars movies.

Agree. I am all for Disney making a shite load of Star Wars movies but this one doesn't sit right with me. Would rather see the obi wan movie set between revenge of sith and new hope.

I'm not sure Obi-Wan did a whole lot in that time period.
