Saw Last Jedi finally. It'll be interesting to see where this all goes.

He may just show up at some opening scene at Leia's funeral. I mean the next one basically has to begin with that scene, doesn't it? Billy Dee Williams will be about 82, so does anyone think he's getting heavily involved with action scenes? I tend to think he won't die since there isn't any particular point in it. And hey, if you believe these new movies are a big SJW fest then the original series black dude should probably be safe, haha.
Either way I think this movie is doomed. It has Matrix Revolutions vibes, another series where the 2nd movie left the 3rd with nowhere to go that could be interesting. The only truly interesting and daring thing they could do would be a Star Wars version of The Great Silence where Kylo kills the crap out of Rey in a nothing final fight and then lines the remaining rebels up and has storm troopers shoot them with the laser guns. Just go out in a blaze of ultra anti commercial glory.

On the one hand, awesome. But I wanted dude to appear before now. Now he can't really interact with anyone but Chewie. Oh well, at least they've got him in there. eh Luke is one with the force no reason he can't still show up. I mean flat out dying didn't stop Anakin, or Yoda from appearing to people... and Obi-wan vanished in the same way that Luke did.

He'll be a landosexual in this movie. He only has sex with other people called Lando.

could he be Fiinn’s Dad ? Given the amount of black people in the Star Wars galaxy, and Lando's presumably enormous libido, there is certainly a non-zero chance of this.

I dunno, it'd be kind of a bad look to make two of the only black people in Star Wars related to each other.

I dunno, it'd be kind of a bad look to make two of the only black people in Star Wars related to each other. Since the release of "The Force Awakens," I don't think there's been a single "Star Wars" conversation that I've railed against more than how fans want the galaxy to be incestuous, in that every new character is related to every old character. Rey doesn't have to be a Skywalker. Jyn Erso doesn't have to be Rey's aunt. Finn doesn't have to be Lando's son. The twist of Kylo Ren being Han and Leia's son permanently damaged future "Star Wars" films from being able to organically create new heroes and villains. If there's one thing that Rian Johnson did right with "The Last Jedi," it's who he made Rey's parents: nobody. Not everybody in this galaxy far, far away needs to be someone's long-lost son or daughter or grandson or granddaughter. Sometimes, heroes just rise from nothing. They don't need to discover that they're actually our former heroes' abandoned child. In a way, that makes her story better - she's not a Skywlaker, she's not a Solo, she's just a scavenger from Jakku who made something of herself.

Everyone's dead, so now Lando's got to die too. Face it, Star Wars has been Transformers: The Movie, except over three chapters. In all fairness, at least they ripped off the one Transformers movie that was worth watching.

Sure, Lee was in The Hobbit but he mostly just had some talky exposition scenes. Not like he was doing action scenes.

Thanks for reminding me, but now I have to ask: How much of that was really Lee doing it, and how much of it was a stuntman?

The only real actiony acting Billy Dee did in Star Wars was on the sand skiffs at the beginning of ROTJ. Not exactly a Jedi Knight. I'm sure he's plenty capable of acting smooth, sitting in a ship's cockpit, and shooting a blaster if he has to.

But with CG being where it is now, age isn't a factor in whether an actor participated in action scenes. Hell, Mark Hamill's only involvement in the "duel" between Luke and Ren was during the closeups. Any lime Luke was shown moving it was a stunt double. The point being, Billy Dee may not be capable of filming an action scene, but Lando's capable of participating in one.
