Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi : Vote yes or no - Will Lando be in this film?

My vote = yes.

And if he is, I'm looking forward to his appearance more than anything else about this film.

from what I read in the leaked script it is clear that he will be

You mean the fake script?

Perpetual outrage is the most popular religion today.

Idk. So many people said the Force Awakens synopsis was fake, turned out it was about 85% correct when the film hit theatres and that was under Abrams who is pretty good at keeping things under wraps.

A synopsis is more likely to be believable. An entire script? No. Especially when it has several distinct contradictions with known canon, what the film-makers have stated, and known set reports.

Ad to the fact that it just has too many fan-service old Legends EU references, and I', pretty sure this is fake as hell.

More lies.

Force Awakens was filled with Fan Service as was Rogue One..

I'm positive you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

We'll see soon enough, homey.

@Jan_El_SEnor,

Why is it that you always go from cock-sure to not so sure? "We'll see" is not the same as "It will be." Synopsis are accurate, but scripts are not? Why is that? How come you are so sure about that? Fact is, you don't know shyt. Sorry to break it to you.

Well, it's like I always say, perpetual outrage is the most popular religion today.

It's my prediction. Take it or leave it.

This is NOT a prediction. It's an opinion, trying to pass itself off as the truth with no facts to back it up.

Sure, buddy. Whatever you say.

You (and people who think like you) are the only good thing about these boards closing. We won't be subjected to your sub-human burbling any more.

@cyberpunk-fan. There isn't anything punk about you, snowflake. You follow the sheeple and take it like a champ. Glad your kind won't be here to act self-righteous and high-and-mighty. Sick of you fakers.

I haven't looked at it, but if it has a bunch of fanboy EU references and cameos, then it's fake.

The Force Awakens - The Last Jedi - From His Nap

It has a lot of old EU Legends references, which TFA and R1 had none of.

People said the same thing about TFA and Rogue One, didn't make them any less true.

TFA and R1 had no EU Legends references.

Kyber Crystals were from Legends, now they are canon.
So are the Guardians of the Whills - and the word Whills in general is a Legends reference.
K-2SO is a KX series which are from the Legends game Star Wars commander.
Vaders castle is taken from Legends - although the planet has been changed.
Cross guard lightsabers are from Legends.
The name Starkiller base is an obvious Legends reference.
Kylo Ren sounds like Kybo Ren from Legends, as well as his mask being a shoutout to Revan.
In Legends Vader has a grandson named Ben, also Han and Leia having a son who turns dark.
Luke's lightsaber being recovered from Bespin is a Legends reference.
Sun Crusher = Starkiller Base.

Woody Harrelson is playing a Legends character in the Han Solo film.

Kyber crystals is the closest thing to being a "Legends" reference. And even that is veiled and completely changed from its original use.

Whills and Starkiller are originally rooted in early drafts of the films, and are likely references to that more than the old EU.

A lot of the others may be references, but the similarities are so broad, they can also be coincidental.

The fake script has definite EU Legends aspects that are much less general and changed. However, further research show some of these may actually be canon now. So, who knows?

Yes. The original title for Star Wars was the Adventures of Luke Starkiller, As Taken From the Journal of the Whills, Saga 1: The Star Wars

I'd like Lando to be in this, but I don't think he will be.

I would like Lando to appear in this series, but I'm probably going with no.

While it would be cool for them to keep Lando's appearance secret and then have him show up in the film, but from a practical point of view I think it will not happen.

No in this. But most probably a definite yes in Episode IX. I mean Finn needs to find out who his father is!

No.

Yes, everyone else was.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

No. Billy Dee Williams is in the worst shape health wise out of the main OT cast. Plus, he looks nothing like Lando now. Let sleeping dogs lie.

Not true. Peter Mayhew is in much worse shape and Carrie Fisher and Kenny Baker are actually dead.

Billie Dee Williams looks worse because he's 6 years older than Ford and 15 years older than Hamill. He turns 80 in 2 months.

However, he still looks and sounds great on screen. Check out his new Colt 45 commercial:

He looks and sounds just like I would picture an older Lando to look and sound, and he still has a solid working relationship with Lucasfilm. He's done a great job playing Lando on Rebels:

Come on nowI know Carrie Fisher and Kenny Baker are dead. Kenny Baker and Peter Mayhew were both inside costumes/devices that hid their features (neither even gets to talk in the movies). As far as my understanding, Peter's involvement in Episode 7 was minor and essentially only the scenes with him sitting in the cockpit/getting medical assistance. The other scenes were done with a different person in the Chewbacca costume. Kenny was never on set or took part in the production of Episode 7. His credit was essentially out respect from the filmmakers. Their (besides Carrie) involvement in the movies are very different than what would be required of someone like Billy Dee Williams in Episode 8.

The question was if we think Lando will be in this film. In order for that to have occurred, it would have had to happen during the making of the movie. As far as my understanding, when Disney started work on Episode 8, Carrie and Kenny were alive.

Billy didn't lose any weight before Episode 8 started filming like Mark and Carrie did for Episode 7. So if he's in it, he's already not going to look fit like the original trio. Then there's the issue of him not being able to walk unassisted. Here are some pictures of him from 2016:

He does sound great though. I suppose they could include Lando's voice over some type of Resistance intercom in the movie. That could work.

I hope so.

I don't think Disney will respect Billy Dee enough to put him in any of the movies. I wonder how fans will react when he dies.


Why Star Wars: The Force Awakens' a poorly-made film:
