As will be surprising to basically nobody, Donald Glover's turn as Lando Calrissian has been by far the movie's most consistently-praised performance, with fans gleefully deeming him a perfect embodiment of the franchise icon. As easy as it was to be cynical about a lot of this film, Glover always seemed like a spot-on pick for Lando, and it's fantastic to hear confirmation that he delivers.

Though Lando apparently doesn't show up for a while, his charming cool allows Glover to steal every scene he's in, and some have even speculated that, due to his success in the role, a Lando spin-off will probably be announced shortly after the movie's release. Get hype.
