Lando as a characterhas already transformed so much throughout the franchise. From Lando becoming the Baron Administrator of Bespin’s Cloud City to even tracking down the infamous assassin Ochi with Luke Skywalker, there is still so much potential growth left to uncover. Although the show’s details are still quite up in the air, Glover has now come forward to hint at some upcoming developments for the series. While promoting the third season of his show,AtlantaonJimmy Kimmel Live!,Glover was directly asked about the famousLandoproject. Instead of straight-up deflecting the question, Glover teased, “Am I? No, yeah, you know, I have a lot of things. I like to blossom and then go away. Right now, it’s definitely the start of another one of those. I have a ton of stuff I’ve been working on, but I just wanted it all to come out at the same time. I feel like that’s what’s important to me.”
Fans have theorized that perhaps Lando’s diary titled theCalrissian Chronicles, which he’s seen creating in 2018’sSolo: A Star Wars Story, will hint at what the character has been up to all this time in between. It even remains unknown whether Glover will be portraying the role of young Lando, or if actor Billy Dee Williams will be playing an older Lando. Since Williams did end up reprising his role inStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, it may be more likely that he will be taking over the role versus Glover.
Although Glover’s answer still completely avoids providing any realdetails regardingLando, he didn’t at all dodge the question entirely. This should give fans some glimmer of hope that he may be possibly stepping into the role ofLandoinstead of the assumed Williams.
