9 Star Wars Spin-Offs That Should Be Next
2. Lando
He's one of the coolest and most suave characters in the galaxy and now his younger self is being played by one of the coolest and most suave creators in our galaxy. As Kathleen Kennedy herself recently hinted at, this idea is to perfect to pass up.
Reactions to Solo thus far have had nothing but praise for Donald Glover's performance as Lando. And with the film being set ten years before the events of Episode IV, that leaves tons of room for a young Lando to continue his story with all kinds of other misadventures. When asked about this on the press tour for Solo, Glover said;
“It would be cool to see, like, Frasier in Space — like, a high-end guy in space… All of these characters are very specific and they have very specific points of view, so it’s always going to be fun to see them traveling around to a planet that is the opposite of what they’re used to…. And all of that seems like it would be fun to write, for sure.”
There you have it, folks. Glover not only seems to be completely down for it, he also seems to indicate at the end that he would even be interested in writing the project. And considering Glover's award-winning role as a writer/director/actor on projects like Atlanta, a Lando film in which Glover gets to have even greater creative involvement sounds like a dream come true.
