Star Wars: Every Upcoming Project Ranked By Anticipation

8. Lando

Taika Waititi Star Wars

At Disney Investor Day, it was announced that infamous scoundrel Lando Calrissian would be among those getting his own event series on Disney+. And it's hard to think of a more deserving character.

An effortlessly charming pirate whose skills easily rival those of Han Solo, Lando was wonderfully brought to life by Billy Dee Williams in the Original Trilogy (and later The Rise of Skywalker) and by Donald Glover in the criminally underrated Solo: A Star Wars Story. Solo in particular proved the character still has a world of potential beyond what we've already seen, and Lando's TV series could even serve to tie up some loose ends left by the film as fans continue to call for a follow-up.

It's currently unknown when the show will arrive and which version of Lando will star. What we do know is that it's in good hands, and is currently being developed by Justin Simien, creator of Netflix's Dear White People.
