Donald Glover Talks to GQ About His Time Playing Lando Calrissian, Meeting Billy Dee Williams, and Landos Preference for Robot Loving

*This was transcribed from a video clip, so it has been paraphrased for clarity and brevity



Donald Glover recently opened up to GQ about playing the young Lando Calrissian. He quickly points out how his friends harassed him about Lando's 'interesting' relationship with his droid. We might never know the truth, but Glover thinks that Lando 'getting it on' with a droid is definitely a 'possibility'.



Glover also compared Star Wars to Star Trek, confirming that Star Trek already had an African-American character in Lt. Nyota Uhura, played by the amazing Nichelle Nichols. 'But with Lando, for some reason, people feel like this is a real black person in space!'

Glover also talked about possibly playing Lando Calrissian again, and hinted at something already being in the works:

It's interesting that Glover mentions the Lando show is still being discussed. Hopefully, we'll get more information on this at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 this week.
