Donald Glover Has Been Cast As Young Lando Calrissian In The Upcoming Han Solo Movie

StarWars.com- Hello, what have we here? Lucasfilm announced today that Donald Glover, an acclaimed actor, award-winning writer, and Grammy-nominated artist, will be playing the part of Lando Calrissian in the still-untitled Han Solo Star Wars film, helmed by directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Glover will join Alden Ehrenreich — previously cast as Han Solo — in bringing two iconic Star Wars characters back to the big screen, but at a time in their lives previously unexplored. This new film depicts Lando in his formative years as a scoundrel on the rise in the galaxy’s underworld — years before the events involving Han, Leia, and Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back and his rise to Rebel hero in Return of the Jedi.

Ohhhhh hellllll yeahhhhhh. I was hoping that there would be at least a cameo involving Mr. Steal Yo Girl And Yo Spaceship in the Han Solo movie. But an announcement like this means that Lando should have a legitimately big role in the film. Lando was the coolest dude in the universe when he was just running some shitty little gas mining colony in the clouds. I can’t even imagine what he is going to be like as a young, dumb, and full of cum scoundrel. I don’t really know much about Donald Glover either because I don’t know his work or because I’m washed up. But I have heard he’s a real talented guy. Which is good, because he has biiiiiig shoes to fill.

And while I am obviously excited to see a young Han and Lando chop it up, I also need Lando’s two road dawg weirdos to make an appearance in the movie. Of course I’m talking about Lobot and ol’ pussy face Nien Nunb.

Lando’s got the freaks and that’s a known fact.
