    Lando is one of the only characters who can feasibly take over Leia's role in Ep.IX. I know Billy Dee recently said something about wanting to return and plus he still voices the character on Rebels and Battlefront 2 which shows he still cares enough. Have him come in during the time jump before Ep.IX and by the time the movie takes place he is effectively the leader of the Resistance. I sincerely hope he is in it regardless to his role because it was a crime that they didn't have him in TFA or TLJ. It doesn't even have to be an extremely active role, he could literally be the General who's always in the command center giving orders.

    Hopefully not, I don't want to see a sad and pathetic Lando like the OT characters in this trilogy. Lando is the only character left that isn't ruined from the OT after this debacle called TLJ.

    I don't know if he will end up in Episode IX, but I have been wondering lately if we don't see him in Solo.

    Lando Calrissian is in Solo, played by Donald Glover.

    Haha, I am aware of that, but I feel like we could get present day Lando as the one retelling the story of his introduction to a young Han.

    Oh sorry for that! I get what you mean. Yes, you're right, I'm not sure as well.

    No worries, I think it would be a cool way to let him have his moment as an OT comeback. Also, might make some OT fans a little more eager to see SOLO.

    Agreed! I have a good feeling about this Solo movie actually. We'll hope for the best and see what the first trailer have in store for us. :)

    I know it's not really the popular opinion, but I have felt better about since Ron Howard stepped in. I'm really hoping we get a trailer soon. It is time.

    I'm not as concerned with Lando being a part of the Sequel Trilogy as I am with them explaining why he's not there. They don't mention him at all. But I don't think his presence makes up for Carrie Fisher not being in the film. I'd be down for Lando returning, but I really think they should just focus on the new characters now that the oldies are essentially out of the picture. (Luke will probably continue to serve as a mentor to Rey via Force ghost apparitions, and that's more than enough for me.)

    Leia put out the messages for help. That's all that is required.

    I want to see Lando to fly the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca and the Porgs. And no, it won't be a rehash of ROTJ, it's only meant to mirror the past but be as fresh as possible.

    A follow up thought (and likely one already surmised by others) is that Lando would make an interesting new lead for the Resistance. Provided that it's believable.

    Thought about this too -- how great would it see Lando back in the MF, and maybe even become Chewie's new partner.

    If he appears in the movie, it's inevitable that he'll die. I wouldn't want that.

    TFA and TLJ follow the pattern of old men being killed off: Lor San Tekka, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and you could even add Snoke and Ackbar.

    As soon as Lando appears, you'll know he'll be killed off before the end of the film.

    The sequel trilogy isn't made for having old male heroes returnn for the fun of it. They come in, pass on what they have learned (as Yoda says), and die.


    (Chewie and Nien are lucky they're still middle age for their species)

    Aside from Chewie (who's played by a new guy). Who would Lando interact with?

    Yes. He could interact with the new characters but what would he say?

    I think if he was going to come back, an easy place to fit him in would have been Canto Bight in TLJ. It would have made sense, and could have pulled him in to the side of the resistance. Then he could have showed up with the Falcon at the end, helping to draw away the tie fighters.
