As soon as we knew a Han Solo movie was coming our minds were racing with ideas of what events it would cover or what familiar faces we’d see.
And we kept coming back to Lando Calrissian and how, by playing Sabaac, Han took the Falcon from him. We need to see that.
And now, if this is true, we may well get to see it.
Reports are coming in that Lando, originally played by Billy Dee Williams in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, is set for the new movie along with his favourite space pilot, Han solo.
And we love that!
Here’s our interview with Billy Dee for your viewing pleasure. (Continues after video)
While nothing is really known about the plot of the movie, we do know that Alden Ehrenreich is playing Solo, so we’re waiting to see who will play Lando.
We also know it will be directed by Jump Street and The LEGO Movie’s Phil Lord and Chris Miller, so we’re just getting more and more excited by the day!
Oh, and an added bonus, have an image of directors Lord and Miller sitting in Han’s favourite ship – and ours – The Milleniu Falcon.
Awesome?
Awesome.

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….
