Rumours are circulating that Donald Glover could be set to return to the Star Wars Universe to reprise his role as Lando Calrissian in his own Disney+ series.
The unconfirmed reports were tweeted by popular fan page Star Wars Stuff, having originally been announced by the Kessel Run Radio podcast.
The Community star previously played the iconic character in Solo: A Star Wars Story, and his performance was single out as one of the highlights of that film – so if he were to get his own series it would undoubtedly be exciting news for fans.
The podcast mentioned that a possible title for the series was the Calrissian Chronicles, but even if the rumours are true, little is known about the potential series at this stage.
It is not the first time rumours of this kind have emerged, with previous reports that Glover was set to reprise his role for a new series earlier doing the rounds in late 2019.
In 2018, Solo scriptwriter Jonathan Kasdan said he would like to see a Lando movie, telling Screen Rant, “First of all, I’m dying to see a Lando film. I would help in any way I was asked to. I think that’s a great movie.
“I mean, I think you know one of the things though that’s interesting is, I want to see a Lando film very similarly to the way I think Larry [his father, Lawrence Kasdan] was excited about a Han film.”
Recently, Billy Dee Williams – who played the character in the original trilogy – reprised his role for an appearance in The Rise of Skywalker.

one of the few highlights of mediocre ass solo
I’m on board. Hopefully he can write/direct some episodes

Superstar
This is such a no brainer especially over a Cassian Andor show.
Scottie Drippin
Should Never Mention Me
He was EASILY the standout from this movie
I'm onboard. as long as they don't get sus with it.
They tried hinting he was pan sexual and into robots too. could be doing this to trick us into watching some LBGTQ starwars series.
Starwars already had a brother and sister kissing, and a grown woman falling in love with a lil boy. I'm tired of all that weird shyt.
Just make Lando a normal hetero for once and i'm in.

Rumored Disney+ Lando show could finally explain the biggest twist in 'Solo'
The concept of a Lando show comes as a surprise for many reasons, but one in particular. Donald Glover is presumably one of the most in-demand actors in the world right now and the idea that he could commit to an entire new show seems unlikely. Then again, Solo star Alden Ehrenreich recently went on a publicity tour for his new show, Brave New World, and dropped several hints that some sort of sequel is in the works. This could be that sequel, which would mean Han himself might also play a role in the show.
As for exactly what a Lando show on Disney+ would be about, we can't say for sure. Solo ended with Han officially acquiring the Millenium Falcon through some sneaky gambling, so the two characters aren't exactly on good terms in the immediate aftermath. We could see Donald Glover's character build his empire on Cloud City, or Lando might dive into the galaxy's criminal underworld.
Of course, a Solo spinoff would also have to address that movie's biggest cliffhanger: Darth Maul. The film introduced moviegoers to a twist that Star Wars animation fans have known for years: Maul survived The Phantom Menace, got himself some robot legs, and became a criminal syndicate boss.
Any show about Lando Calrissian during this era will have to address what happens next between Darth Maul, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Qi'ra — even if that's more of a backdrop for whatever shenanigans Lando gets up to during the same time period.

Nah, not yet.
I like "ATL" because it's not just straight funny though. The shyt is damn near "Twin Peaks" in some parts.
