Donald Glover is officially a young Lando Calrissian!

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.

“We’re so lucky to have an artist as talented as Donald join us,” said Lord and Miller. “These are big shoes to fill, and an even bigger cape, and this one fits him perfectly, which will save us money on alterations. Also, we’d like to publicly apologize to Donald for ruining Comic-Con for him forever.”

Glover is best known for creating and starring in the critically acclaimed FX series Atlanta (which had the highest premiere numbers for any basic cable comedy show since 2013), as well as for starring in four seasons of the show Community, and for his Grammy-nominated album Because the Internet, performed under the name Childish Gambino. In addition, Glover appeared in the Academy Award-nominated The Martian, and will be seen in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The untitled Han Solo movie is set for release in 2018.

Probably not high on my list of must see right away. I will probably watch it in the theater but definitely will wait to at least see what the reviews say(and that doesn't include the critics... **** the critic ratings).

BTW, who else is annoyed by the whole "A Star Wars Story" thing. Does Disney really think we're that stupid that we won't understand where this comes in the mythos of the movies? Just call it Solo, Rogue One, etc.

A Star Wars Story...lol

I REALLY hope this isn't a case of "best material/trailer".

This will be the first Star Wars movie I don't give a shit about seeing.
Rogue One was a prequel plot that was interesting because we didn't know the characters or their eventual fate. Sure, we knew the outcome but finding out how it unfolded was a mystery.
This movie will be the first to sink the Star Wars franchise. The Obi Wan prequel will finish the job. In the SOLO preview Han is facing a menacing group and starts into unbutton his holster, in another scene Chewie is headed straight for a rock. Golly gee, I wonder if they'll survive?
Prequels and Star Wars don't mix. I'm surprised the people that green lit this bullshit can't see how far below the standards of pre-prequel Star Wars this approach is. Making further prequels based on beloved characters is so obviously dumb and lazy, I'm afraid it will destroy the franchise or at least demote it to the level of Marvel.

His delivery is...weird.

He’s a TERRIBLE choice for the role.

They’ve basically admitted they should have cast the kid from Baby Driver.

Have they announced the Jar Jar Binks stand-alone prequel with backstory yet?

no, dumbass

it didn't

no one took away the guns in the original star wars or indiana jones or any of that bullshit when they were re-released

and considering they put the guns BACK IN for the latest posts...this move was exposed as pure pandering....by cucks

Red Brooklyn · 04-24-2018, 10:59 AM

The guns were removed from international marketing, though. I think that happens all the time. And that usually has a lot more to do with the country than the studio.
