This isn’t the same Lando that blew up the second Death Star, but it’s also not the same Lando that cut a deal with Darth Vader to hand Han Solo over to Boba Fett.
Donald Glover recently took part in a THR-hosted round table discussion, and opened up about playing Lando in the Han Solo spin-off movie.
As the movie takes place before Han Solo meets up with Lando in Cloud City during the events of The Empire Strikes Back, the responsibility falls upon Glover to deconstruct the character.
He’s figuring out who he is, which makes him a malleable character.
