Variety notes that this is the second round of testing:
"With production not starting till early 2017, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller have taken their time in meeting with talent for the mystery female character as well as the role of Lando Calrissian. This would mark the second round of tests; a previous round took place earlier this summer. While it seems like a decision is on the horizon, sources it could still be a couple weeks till one is made."
There’s also the role for a young Lando Calrissian, that is still up in the air. Reports are saying that FX’s Atlanta creator and star, Donald Glover, has read and tested for the role, and may very well be the leading candidate for young Lando, but that but Disney/Lucasfilm still want a second round of testing to be done, in order to be certain about their choice.
