With Justin Simien recently parting ways with the series, Deadline has confirmed that Donald Gloverand his brother Stephen have come on to develop the Lando Calrissian series Lando for Lucasfilm and Disney+. Glover and his brother Stephen Glover will write the series with plans to write the series as if Donal will reprise the role he first appeared in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

They should call it the Calrissian Chronicles.

meh.

he is good as Lando but just get away from these characters.

 

[Days like these...]

If he has little half human half droid children in it I'll watch otherwise its a hard pass from me.

I checked out of the character when he's revealed as a pansexual. Also Solo flopped too, dunno why we need a Lando series after that mess.

Edit: I saw Solo. That wasn't Han.

 

[Quasicat]

He can do whatever he wants, after he does the Community movie that we’ve been waiting for.

Six seasons and a Movie!

Nah, I'm good.

That wasn't even an actor trying to do an impression of Harrison Ford.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I'm one of the very few people who really did not like Solo. In fact I consider it perhaps the worst Star Wars movie spin-off.

 

[MrA]

Nothing like replacing a sauve, quick witted, ruthless, bounty hunter with a man with constant blank stare on his face

 

[The Cockatrice]

No thanks. Im done with the skywalker saga. Wake me up when we have a new story with no connection to the milked as fuck classics or the old republic. Fucking shitty ass starved of ideas Hollywood.

 

[newtypepilot]

Did he not get the memo that Disney only wants strong, independent, family-less female protagonist, and any male characters must be either be weak dispirited or evil?

 

[DGrayson]

If they made 1 Lando movie I am interested. But a TV show means guaranteed awful

 

[Badlucktroll]

I would watch an old Lando series with Billy Dee but this is probably about Lando and that robot

 

[ThatStupidLion]

There was a point where I would have cared about this. We are years past that point. F u disney.

 

[EddieVanHelgen]

I'm not going to watch this.

 

[Sybrix]

With the Marvel shit show going on, are Disney now shifting focus to run Star Wars into the ground also?

Thought Star Wars was ran into ground before Marvel! Especially the many spin-off TV series.

Solo flopped and backlash with Last Jedi and got worst with Rise of Skywalker!

Merchandise not selling and park attractions failed too, the SW theme hotel has failed too! This brand is on its death bed!

 

[Punished Miku]

All the excitement of Solo but stretched out over more time and with less budget.

 

[FunkMiller]

Nobody wants this endless, repetitive, 'memberberry shit.

Think of something new, you lazy dickheads.

 

[Xyphie]

So tiresome how everything Star Wars related has to be connected to the original trilogy somehow.

 

[DKehoe]

I guess?

But at this point I'd rather have original characters exploring new stuff. Squeezing the original trilogy for everything it's got feels a bit tired when there's a whole galaxy of new possibilities out there.

 

[Ristifer]

Lando was fun in the OT, and in Solo as well. But I don't really need, or want, a whole series about him.

 

[Ownage]

Let it all burn.

 

[Chuck Berry]

With the Marvel shit show going on, are Disney now shifting focus to run Star Wars into the ground also?

They havent already? lol

 

[Trunx81]

Can´t wait for this scene:
"Name?"
"Lando"
"Last name?"
"I don´t have one"
"Well .. my name is Carl and you are relating to the penultimate glaciation in the Alps... Lando Carl-rissian it is."

Yeah no thanks donald

 

[Beer Baelly]

 

[StueyDuck]

The same guy who pushed for his character to be fucking his patriarchy smashing slave bot

Yeeeaaah I'll pass

 

[Konnor]

They still haven't given up milking that dead cow, huh?

 

[Husky]

After Atlanta, I'm kind of inclined to get excited for this one. I'm really soured on all this franchise bullshit though, especially the awful output on Disney+. I'd rather he made another original series.

 

[Ulysses 31]

oops wrong thread!

 

[Soltype]

 

[Roufianos]

Lando is a fun character, and most of it is the charm comes from Billy Dee Williams, he really doesn't need his own show.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Disney needs to hit the pause button on everything they've got in the pipeline and reevaluate the state of all their franchises and expenditures. They really need some original ideas for D+ and for their movie slate.

The hotel failed because it was expensive as fuck, it wasn't fun (mostly because they have you as a bad guy), no continental Breakfast or anything that would make it a great HOTEL experience, you couldn't leave, and it was only for 2 days max you could stay there per trip.

You can list more reasons why if you like. But it failed and they will close it permanently from what I read.

Oh yeah. I'm just saying it failed for reasons apart from the brand.

People love Star Wars... They just don't like having to pay a kidney and a spleen to TRY to enjoy any of the new stuff they had. Fuck that hotel, tho.

Don't think people love Star Wars like they use to, what happened to that comics? It failed so bad I even forgot it's name. Mandalorien viewership decline in S3(I loved S1/2), I had no interest in S3. I liked Rogue One was successful box office but the Andor at low viewership. I can go on but SW isn't helping Disney plus subs either since it's been in decline.

I just want good Star Wars, right now Disney isn't providing some of us that. So I stop watching and stop buying merchandise.

 

[EviLore]

Remember Star Wars?

Remember Lando?

Remember the Millennium Falcon?

Remember Cloud City?

 

[Ishma3L]

Get that paycheck Donald.

Remember Lobot? We need a Lobot Origins series. Such an Iconic character. Do it Disney!

I think most people thought season 2 was the end because it LOOKED like the end .. they also didn't see Book of Boba Fett and the Mando episodes when grogu came back. So when season 3 came along, they didn't think things would be good without Grogu.

For Andor, I think most didn't know how it connected to Rogue One... Or maybe they hadn't seen Rogue One. Or remembered who Cassian Andor was.

I'm just saying it's more complicated past "not many fans left". Get a new movie that pushes the universe forward, you'll see more interest again.

All I see, is you making excuses Lucasfilm/Disney. How is it that you know specifically the reason fans aren't watching is that they are ignorant.

It's bad story telling to put a major plot point on another show and expect fans to watch that other show. Grogu being back with Din Jarin on Bobba Fett show is bad story telling. You may like Bobba Fett show but not many did. There were many reasons why Mando S3 was bad, one big one was Din Jarin being almost a sidekick to Bo Katan on his own show.

If your reason for Andor failing in viewership was because not many people know about it being related to Rogue One, then isn't that another reason that SW fandom is not as popular? They've seen so many bad Star Wars stories that they thought Andor would be bad too would be more the reason.

The Star Wars fans are still there but they just chose not to watch bad Star Wars hence it's not as popular as before.
