Billy Dee Williams Returns as Lando For Episode IX

[Carabas]

If you are suggesting that they are shoehorning in one piece of nostalgia to replace another, then I don't disagree with you. But they should be trying to tell a story not fill up a convention schedule. They might as well just cast George Lucas into the film at that point.

If their story calls for a Rebel leader from the old guard, well, Lando fits the bill not as well as Leia did, but he was still a general. Better Lando than Admiral Neverheardofyou.
