14. Lando Calrissian – Nevada

Nevada is home to the “Entertainment Capital of the World” – Las Vegas. The city is known for its fine dining, bright lights, nightlife, and of course, the gambling. With dozens and dozens of casinos along the Vegas strip and beyond, it’s become a hub for gamblers. If Las Vegas existed within the Star Wars universe, Lando Calrissian would surely be a frequent visitor.

Lando Calrissian was a smuggler and the original owner of the Millennium Falcon. During Solo: A Star Wars Story, it was shown how Lando lost his ship to Han Solo in a game of Sabacc. As an avid gambler, Lando often sought after get-rich-quick schemes that didn’t often work in his favor. The smooth-talking and well-dress Lando eventually became the Baron Administrator of Cloud City.

After being taken advantage of by Darth Vader in Cloud City, Lando went out of his way to join the Rebel Alliance. He joined the effort to rescue Han and was promoted to a general for the Rebels. Lando also stepped up and led the assault in destroying Death Star II during the Battle of Endor, where he piloted the Falcon and became a hero. The beloved smuggler will make his return in Episode IX.
