Williams made his debut as the gambling scoundrel in Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, reprising in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, and in countless other Star Wars shows like Star Wars Rebels and games like Star Wars: Jedi Knight II – Jedi Outcast. He even voiced the character in various Robot Chicken and Family Guy episodes dedicated solely to Star Wars as well as The LEGO Movie. Donald Glover stepped into the role earlier this year to play a younger Lando in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
In Episode IX, Williams joins returning franchise stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, and Adam Driver, plus newcomer (and frequent J.J. Abrams collabroator) Keri Russell.

That's what I've been waiting for. Hopefully within a few years we get to see Batman take down a Death Star with nothing more than a Flying Space General Lee, stars and bars and all, with Alf riding shotgun whilst wielding a flaming excalibur [Reply]

Had to be hard on him. If anyone had the pulse of the Star Wars franchise.fan base it was Mark. Probabaly crushed him as much as it did everyone else. [Reply]

Dead isn't dead to Jedi's. He and everyone who ever lived can come back as ghost Jedi's, correct? [Reply]

From what I read is a learned skill that not all Jedi possess.. not much written in stone.Sounds like a newer phenomenon started around Yodas time. I am sure Clay can shine more light on it than I [Reply]

That is correct. Qui-Gon, I believe, discovered the process. [Reply]

Everything about how Luke died in TLJ and what I have seen/read about force ghosts says that Luke can return as one. I know that a lot of shit isn't canon now but:

Well, he did have the Journals of the Whills on Ach-To with him. Not much more to do there than to read and drink green tit milk from some weird slug, especially when you've renounced the Force (just how did he turn those Midichlroians off, anyway??). [Reply]
What about the theory floating around that Rey is really the daughter of Han Solo and Qi'ra and is a half-sister to Kylo Ren? Anyone think that's a possibility in this movie? [Reply]

The age range does not match up, unless Han somehow hooked up with her while he was married to Leia. [Reply]
