One of the screenwriter ofSolo : A Star Wars Storywants Lando Calrissian to get his own spinoff moving-picture show . In the spark advance - up to the release ofSolo , one of the running jokes in the fandom has been that Donald Glover ’s Lando looks far more interesting than Alden Ehrenreich ’s Han Solo . Even though the other reaction toSolo : A Star Wars Storyare very positively charged , the film has n’t engender as much bombilation as the averageStar Warsmovie . Some are even claiming they ’re watching the movie just to see Lando .
The pending success ofSoloalso brings into question the future ofStar Warsfranchise . Disney will , obviously , keep makingStar Warsmovies as long as multitude turn out to see them . However , the only film with a release escort afterSoloisEpisode IX . There are no official plans for another motion picture center on a single fictional character from the original trilogy , or elsewhere . Yet that might transfer if Jonathan Kasdan become his indirect request .

Screen Rantsat down withSolo : A Star Wars Storywriters Jonathan and Lawrence Kasdan . Lawrence has written some of the biggest motion-picture show inStar Warshistory ( includingEmpire Strikes BackandThe Force Awakens ) , butSolois the first sentence the father and son duo have worked together . Lawrence seesSoloas his lastStar Warsfilm , though he did qualify it with " never say never . " Jonathan , on the other helping hand , finger like he ’s just getting started :
First of all I ’m dying to see a Lando photographic film . I would help in anyway I was asked to . I think that ’s a swell motion-picture show . I mean , I think you sleep together one of the thing though that ’s interesting is , I desire to see a Lando plastic film very alike direction to the path I consider Larry was stir by a Han film . Which is in this movie , Lando gets to occupy , the purpose that Han occupy in the earlier films , which is he does n’t have to express the burden of being the protagonist . He gets to have all the jokes . He have to be the hydrofoil , you have sex . So one of the guileful challenges of make a Lando movie is , abruptly Lando is at the substance of it . He , somebody else is belong to step into that purpose of being the , maybe even Han , you recognise . So it ’s a fun universe to roleplay around and then believe about what we can do with it . for certain , as much as Larry insists he ’s done , he could n’t have - we could n’t have written a picture more pregnant with possibility for future adventures , so I do n’t hope him a hundred percentage
Kasdan does n’t believe that Lando would be alone in this conjectural flick . It ’s almost a given , in Jonathan ’s thinker , that Lobot , Lando ’s cyborg pal fromEmpire Strikes Back , would have to be involved . The writer quipped :
Well , if there , and if there is a Lando motion-picture show , it ’s tough to imagine doing it without Lobot .
For the moment the Lando movie live only in Jonathan Kasdan ’s creative thinker . Solomight be the first , and last , Star Warsmovie that get a supporting quality and make water them a jumper cable . ( For his part , Alden Ehrenreich would wish to seemoreSolomovies , taking the type in an even more swashbucklingIndiana Jonesdirection . ) Even if there are n’t moreSolomovies , there is a very real chance that a Lando film could materialise .
Glover is , no fashion , an unknown but his star is currently on a meteoric raise and he ’s rapidly becoming one of the hottest stars in Hollywood . It would really be in Disney and Lucasfilm ’s best interest to attempt to nail the actor down for as long a commitment as potential . The internet has already gone crazy for the quick glimpse of Glover in trailers as Lando ; there ’s no telling what they might do when the film is released and everyone sees the concluding carrying into action . In increase , Glover has been jolly open about how muchhe wanted ( and enjoyed ) play the role of Lando . The consultation and the talent is there for a Lando movie .
There might even be a story too . Jonathan Kasdan is right when he says there is n’t much known about Lando . Lando ’s always been a side character . It ’s always very dodgy to move a great supporting fictitious character into a leading role . Yet , the mystery surrounding Lando , and the amount of adventures that could be explored with him , makes him the everlasting candidate for a solo picture show , perchance even more than Han . No one is asking for a pic that tells how Lando begin wearing capes but it would be fascinating tosee Lando rise to mightiness in Cloud City .
The only potential fall of a Lando pic is that it could become a slippery slope . The next ofStar Warsshouldn’t be just pick out every playfulness or magnetic side quality and ease up them their own movie . TheStar Warsfranchise is n’t close to oversaturation yet , but that method of motion-picture show - fashioning would almost certainly take things to that point . Solo : A Star Wars Storycould be more than enough . The best matter for a Lando movie might be to just conceive of it , not really see it .
