In December 2022 we learned that Lando Calrissian was getting his own Disney+ series and we were pretty excited even though we knew nothing about what it would be.
We assumed that it would star Community and Solo: A Star Wars Story star Donald Glover in the title role but at the end of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, we saw the great Billy Dee Williams return and seemingly hint at a new adventure with Jannah [Naomi Ackie] who may be his long-lost daughter [we think that’s the idea, it was poorly handled], so we begin to think that maybe that would be what the series will be.
However, now we may finally know which Lando we’re getting.

In a new interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Donald Glover is asked about the Lando series and, while he gives nothing away, he seems to confirm that he’s very busy right now and returning to the galaxy far, far away is part of that busy schedule.
Watch the interview below:
Personally, I would love to see a Young Indiana Jones-type adventure where we see Williams’ recalling an earlier adventure while on his own adventure as GLover, a Star Wars series simultaneously taking place in two time periods, after all, we saw Lando in Solo: A Star Wars Story keeping a record of all his adventures, so that would be an easily exploited plot point to have the multi-timeline adventure.
Although“Everything you’ve heard about me is true.” we know Williams is getting on in years, so I have a feeling if the Jannah story is ever resolved, it’s going to be a comic or novel. But we can hope.
Thoughts?
