Keep aiming for the broad side of that barn, Dis.

I'm not sure that Lando has an interesting enough backstory to make it worth creating a series about him.

I'm not sure that Lando has an interesting enough backstory to make it worth creating a series about him.

Don't you recall? Donald Glover said in 2018 that Lando was "pan-sexual" so there's lots of stories they can tell

Do we really need it? Don’t get me wrong, I have enjoyed Donald Glover’s performances, but I don’t think we need a Lando spin-off.

"The Continuing Adventures of a Rogue Named Lando" would be a great show, especially with Glover. He straight up stole Solo every time he was on screen.

But the Disney of today can't make it.
Not an enjoyable version of it anyway.

Makes me wonder if having him write it is part of justifying that ten million dollar paycheck they have him on. Turn in scripts yet series will never be produced.

I think he did an awesome job as a young Lando, so I'd be willing to give it a watch. I also heard a rumor that supposedly Billy Dee Williams might be playing old Lando and introduce each episode like he's retelling the story. That would actually be pretty cool.

The 'Solo' movie should have been a Lando movie in the first place. That was obvious the whole time. They had a better new actor for Lando + the public's expectations would have been lower.

Yeah, that'd be an interesting film. Lando: The Droid Frakker. XD

I will believe this when I actually see it released.

I’m getting Happy Days spin-off vibes…

These guys made ATLANTA.

I’m in.

I remember this being announced shortly after Solo...

That's still 2018/2019 announcement timeframe. It's common for stuff like this to take a few years to bounce around and gestate. And nearly everything entertainment and film based lost the majority of the pandemic. Almost everything besides the big budget "must make" kind of things got soft canceled by just not having any resources or energy put into them to save cash.

Now studios are stretching back out and getting things cranking again. We're essentially in a pandemic free 2020 as far as this show's schedule is concerned.

If the show has actually been handed off to Glover's team and production studio that did Atlanta, then this stands half a chance of happening, as long as budget doesn't get pulled.

If we didn't need SOLO, why do we need this one?

I mean, I don't ever NEED a steak, but I like to have one periodically.

As long as there is lots of facility administration, supply problems, labor difficulties and lots of Lobot. Not sure I’m kidding. I would be interested! LOL
