Solo: A Star Wars Story - Every Major Character's Best Moment

5. Lando Cheats At Sabacc

Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) steals pretty much every scene of the movie he's featured in, most of all his introduction, where Han and co. track him down to a grotty casino bar.

Lando's playing the card game sabacc, and Han decides to join him, eventually agreeing to play for Lando's ship, the Millennium Falcon. After a tense back-and-forth, complete with some cheeky one-liners, it seems like Han has come out on top.

However, Lando has a literal card up his sleeve - concealed with a mechanical contraption - and plays it at the last moment for the win.

Glover's pitch-perfect performance combined with the conniving nature of his victory made this a terrific re-introduction of the character (even if Han eventually won the Falcon in a rematch).
