    What about Rupert Grint. He's roughly the right age, but they could use CGI/Make-up to age him up a bit if needed...

    He might have to grow a mustache though, in order to keep the continiuity...

    Yes, his drug problem could be an issue, but then again Carrie Fisher was out of her head during Empire Strikes Back and she gave one of her best performances.
    Perhaps a drugged-up Rupert Grint would give a brand new take on Lando Calrission, giving him a lot of character depth.

    I just found some top secret LUCAS FILMS make-up tests, and you can see the mustache really makes all the difference, and the facial structures are almost identical. (The only main problem I can now see, is that they have different shaped chins, but I'm sure with some SFX magic that can be solved!) A perfect candidate I think, I'm betting heavilly on Rupert being our new Lando!

    I have no idea who should be cast, but I'd love to see a Lando movie. While I'd prefer the Han movie to be a rip-roaring adventure like the Brian Daley books, I'd rather see Lando as a smooth, good-hearted rogue, like Simon Templar in the GFFA.

    Question is, will Vuffi Raa be in it?

    I think Daniel Day Lewis should play Lando instead.

    Hollywood these days is so PC, i wouldn't be too surprised if they casted Lando as a white guy. or even a woman. :rolleyes:

    Whoever plays Lando, what I want to know is how will they portray their relationship. We have a rough outline of events but will it be a Butch and Sundance like team up before they fall out?

    I liked the Shameik Moore idea so much that I made a gif fancast for it. :)

    I'm convinced. The guy's almost too perfect for the role. And aside from the resemblance, and the attitude, he's a pretty darned good actor. Much better choice than Glover, IMO.

    Good Choice. I can see this. We to see Han win the Falcon from this guy, We need to see Han Rescue Chewie from the Spice minds, We need to see Han Drop the Shipment and we need to see why Boba Fett has it out for Han. Its not like he cut his dad's head off or anything.

    Has anyone done a YouTube impersonation of Billy Dee Williams so we can fancast him for a few months and call for petitions when he's inevitably not cast?

    I still think Aldis Hodge is a better actor but perhaps a lot less comedic than Shameik?

    Yeah, Hodge is a great actor, but I'm not sure what his comic timing is like. Moore, on the other hand. I know he can be funny.

    It can't all be screwball hi-jinks either, both Han (and Lando if he's in it) can't just spend the whole film slipping on banana peels etc.

    Oh, I agree. But IMO, comic timing is crucial for this film, as Miller and Lord will certainly be playing up the fun elements of Han's adventures. And by comic timing, I don't mean a facility for slapstick humor. I mean an ability to be funny, as a character. To have a good sense of humor, and to deliver humorous lines in a convincing way.

    And to me, Moore is both funny, and a good actor. Perhaps not on Hodge's level, but close, IMO.

    Whoever is chosen, I hope they're able to sound similar to Billy Dee. His voice is distinct.

    Gotta love Key and Peele. One of the funniest Star Wars sketches I've ever seen.
