Outside of Padme/anakin and Han/Leia, I don't think anyone ever gets laid in Star Wars Land.

Lando. Lando's always gonna get his.

And Jabba has those slave girls around for something.

Billy Dee Williams on Secret 'Star Wars' Lunch With Donald Glover

"I just never thought of anybody else being Lando; I just see myself as Lando," the legendary actor told THR. The actor was recently spotted having lunch in Los Feliz with young Han Solo star Donald Glover, who is taking over the role Lando Calrissian in the film, which also stars Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo. Here's what Williams told Heat Vision about meeting Glover and the character that has been "very much a part of my life for 30 years."

You recently had lunch with Donald Glover. What'd you talk about?

He’s a very delightful young man, I must say. We had a very nice lunch and we talked for a very long time and it was very easy. He had questions about [Lando]. I guess he was doing what normal actors do, they just want to find out what direction they want to take so they gather their information. So, we just sat and talked, and I didn’t want to impose on anything he wanted to do — he’s got his own ideas, I would imagine. I know he has his own ideas. He’s a very talented young man. In fact, I was listening to some of his music [Childish Gambino, Glover’s musical alter-ego] and it’s pretty good stuff.

What type of ideas was he proposing?

Not to any great extent, I think he basically just wanted to see me, meet me, get to know me a little bit and probably figure out a way to use me in developing his character.

He had recently said that he wasn’t “as cool” as you. Did you give him any pointers on being cool?

Well, nobody’s as cool as me. (Laughs.) That’s a tough way to go. No, I’m only joking. Donald is eclectic, I think that’s really important particularly for the character of Lando. He is particularly eclectic in the way he approaches his art. When I talked to him I really got the sense of him being a worldly person.

You had also recently said that the Star Wars producers should leave the character of Lando alone. Did you change your mind after speaking with Glover?

I don’t know. To me, I guess what it is that I identify so much with Lando. I mean, Lando has been very much a part of my life for over 30 years. When I go out and do conventions and stuff like that, even though people know me from all the other things that I’ve done, certainly [Lando] takes precedence. I just never thought of anybody else being Lando. I just see myself as Lando.

Is that hard, saying goodbye to a character or watching him take on a life after you?

Well, eventually something else has to happen with it. But I’m not saying goodbye to that character. It’s still very much a part of my life. I created that character.

Have you seen any of the recent Star Wars films that have come out?

I saw [The Force Awakens] and it was really good. I really enjoyed it, thoroughly.

Are you going to be making a cameo in the upcoming Han Solo stand-alone film?

I don’t know. It depends if they ask me to. I wouldn’t mind doing it.

Would you like to do it?

If they asked me, I wouldn’t say no.

Have you talked to Harrison Ford about his thoughts on watching his character played by someone else?

Yeah, this one is about how we established our relationship and the question of the Millennium Falcon. I have not spoken with him — he’s too busy.[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure I need a han movie. And all that comes with it. But I think I'm harder pressed to accept a new Lando than a new han. That said I'd have no problem accepting that Sebastian Stan guy as a new Luke in a standalone. I dunno. Let's see.

I hope Star Wars starts paying their new and returning actors right and with points. They left Billy and Carrie and mark and Peter Mayhew and David prowse etc all cold broke with no incremental income for their parts. That's not fair. Or even normal these days. LOTR cast were promised x amount and had to sue to get their fair share of the gross ongoing. But they got there I think. That's how it should be.

You're god damn right.

woa

[tragabigzanda]

Star Wars sucks now

[epilogue]

Emilia Clarke looks so good as a brunette.

I hope she can knock this out of the park. She's been a tad underwhelming since her strong debut in the first season of GoT.

I don't know which of those people is Han Solo.

God bless, Chewie.

LOOK AT THE CAMERA WOODY!

[dimejinky99]

I'm such a fuckin push over. From not interested to sssssqqqqqqquuuuuuueee in one pic

[epilogue]

If Donald Glover wasn't in this, my interest level would still be a 1 out of 10.

Han was pushed back til Christmas. Now it's being brought forward to may. And I was wrong.

9 is out may 2019. Not 2018.

I never saw that Han was pushed back ever. It's always had a May release slated. There are a ton who think it still will be pushed back, though. But when did you see that it was moved? I never saw that.

[epilogue]

Not that it matters. It doesn't. Just curious because I thought I was fairly on top of this for once.
