    If it were a bit less vague it would probably generate at least slight more excitement. We have no idea what Acolyte is even about but we at least know the basic timeframe of it so people can speculate. While we assume this is young Lando, we don't even know that with certainty.

    I mean, it's cool that we're getting something in the Solo timeline, but I can't get too excited about it until we start to get some idea about what it really is. It's just easier to get hyped about the stuff that's coming sooner and starting to come into focus.

    It is rumored that LFL will want to reach out to Alden and make a solo 2 kinda series with Han and Chewie, maybe we could meet them here, Lando could be like a prequel to solo.

    I'm actually hoping Lando is a sequel to Solo. I want to see what was Lando up to after he lost Falcon, how he met Lobot, that little maneuver at the Battle of Taanab, how he won Cloud City...

    ... whether or not he was allowed to keep all the capes aboard the Falcon when he lost the ship...

    I think either prequel solo or just Lando's adventures. I think a solo sequel is in the cards and talks.

    I'd really much rather see his earlier years where he's struggling to make a name for himself.

    Landos pan sexuality is finally confirmed now by Lucasfilm but I am not sure how well that’s going to resonate with many Star Wars fans.

    Oh well! I honestly feel like LFL is in the position that nothing they do will please those types of "fans", who find something to be upset about in absolutely everything. I'm sure they look at stuff like the insane attacks on the High Republic YouTube videos and say "ehh, why bother even trying to placate these people, let's try to win some goodwill among other demographics by doing positive things and/or whatever we want". And rightly so.

    True but at the same time I am not thrilled about this and at the same time I am not upset either.

    I just have mix feelings about it and I worry that Star Wars might bomb again at both the box office and on Disney plus.

    Going on to the high republic, I’ve been reading positive reviews and even some YouTube users have been given good reviews too.

    The chances of this having any impact on the box office or success on Disney+ is basically zero. Outside of a handful of people on the internet, no one will even hear about this, much less let it influence their decision to watch something or not.

    If people are upset by a fictional character being pansexual, that's their problem, and LFL or Disney should not try to satisfy a tiny minority of bigoted fans.
    Solo "bombing" at the box office had literally nothing to do with Lando being pansexual, and it's not going to affect the popularity of future movies or shows.

    I'm hoping Donald Glover's able to do a bit more with the character. I definitely like him in Solo, but the performance to me feels more like a caricature and not nearly as nuanced as Billy Dee.

    I understand now. I just hope for the best is all.

    I gotta admit Donald glover did a fantastic job as lando and I hope Donald himself is in the lando show.

    That’s what I am hopeful of the origin on how he became governor of cloud city.


    In Solo a Star Wars story, we only see Lando as a smuggler and I hope Donald Glover reprises his role as Lando again in the tv show.

    Frankly, I want a Lando Calrissian series throughout his life.

    Or one where he takes down the Crimson Dawn.

    I'd like to the build up, I can imagine he's gotten into quite a few scrapes between Solo and winning Cloud City, some with Han and Chewie and others with a wide variety of characters.

    No more shoe-horning Palpatine into Star Wars material where he's not supposed belong!

    ...Or do you mean the actual Senate?

    :p
