Star Wars: Characters we hope to see in Taika Waititi’s movie
By Nik Edlund
Lando Calrissian
One of the best parts about the Solo movie was Donald Glover’s portrayal of Lando Calrissian. He absolutely nailed this role and was able to not just emulate Billy Dee Williams, but also put his own spin on the character.
Lando is extremely smooth and just oozes cool. He’d be a great fit in a Taiki Waititi film with his blend of humor, and smooth talk. Lando also has a plethora of old adventures that he’s been on that would be perfect fodder for a movie or series of movies. This film could even be done in a way that could feature Billy Dee Williams and Glover playing the role in the same movie.
Williams could be old Lando telling his adventures to perhaps Jannah and then in flashbacks we see the adventures he was on. Lando is one of the more fun and charismatic characters in Star Wars, and pairing him with an equally fun and charismatic director and writer like Waititi would be an amazing combination and one that would surely sell a bunch of tickets.
