From the looks of the early reviews, it seems like Solo: A Star Wars Story has—against all odds—actually turned out to be a decent movie. Significantly less surprising, though, is that Donald Glover completely slays as Lando Calrissian. Just about every write-up borrows some variation on the phrase "scene-stealing" to describe Glover's performance, and the Verge called his Lando "slicker, more charming, and more modern" than Billy Dee's original.
Apparently Disney is just as excited about Glover: According to Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy, the next Star Wars spinoff movie is going to Lando.
“Of course, there are still many stories to tell about Han and Chewbacca," Kennedy told Premiere France after the Solo premiere at Cannes on Tuesday. "But Lando will be next."
She didn't go into details about what a standalone Lando film might entail, but we can guess. Could it be a buddy movie about Lando and his bald robo-pal Lobot? A Solo-style heist flick about that time Lando boosted Emperor Palatine's ship? Or maybe just some kind of political thriller about him rising through the Bespin ranks to become Baron Administrator of Cloud City? Honestly, who cares—just drop Donald Glover and his glorious facial hair in any kind of galactic drama, and the world will be happy.
It's unclear if the project is already moving forward, or how it might affect the Obi-Wan spinoff rumored to be in early development, but it makes sense for Disney to move fast in order to capitalize on all the Lando buzz right now. Plus, Glover is basically running the world at the moment, so why not give the guy his own Star Wars movie already? It's not like he's too busy.
