A newly released excerpt from the upcoming Star Wars canon novel Last Shot may hint at the reasoning behind Lando Calrissian’s absence in the sequel trilogy.
Donald Glover will portray a younger version of Lando in this summer’s Solo: A Star Wars Story, but many fans are still wondering what he’s up to in the sequel trilogy era.
Given his connection to the main heroes (particularly Han Solo), the lack of Lando in the new films has been a bit odd.
However, the canon novel Bloodline briefly implies Lando remains friendly with Leia, so perhaps the Last Shot incident isn’t too severe.
