Billy Dee wants Star Wars return

February 27th, 2013 by Marc Comments

Lando Calrissian actor Billy Dee Williams has expressed his desire to return to a galaxy far, far away.

Chatting to 95.7 KJR, the actor told radio host Dan Roberts that he would love to return to one of his most famous roles for Star Wars: Episode VII.

“Well, I’m like everybody else, we’re all speculating and we’re all wondering,” he said.

“If they want me to participate, I’d love to participate. I love the idea of keeping the character alive. And I specifically want to keep him alive, as long as I’m alive.”

So, do we want to see Billy Dee back as Lando Calrissian? Is his character needed? As ever, let us know your thoughts.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
