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.
"Revisit the iconic Cloud City lightsaber battle between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, retold in anime form as Disney would have done it if only MOAR CGI had existed in the late 70's"!
Kids need to watch the OT and then forget that anything else even exists. It will save them time and shitty movies/influences. Just roll with Luke for a while, then get on with your life. [Reply]

Cool vid, I liked it. I'd be all for more Star Wars in anime form. Been hoping since to see some more since that anime TIE fighter vid popped up a few years ago. [Reply]

So. ****ing. Good.
Too bad they said they won't touch this era of the lore. Which is why Star Wars will continue to fail. [Reply]

It's interesting that you would mention Bane. I would of course love to see such a story, but Filoni would have to visually represent Bane as he was initially going to when the Bane/Revan episode got scrapped.
Meaning, I want my bald-headed, eye-tattooed Sith lord proper, not that goofy thing in the helmet that Yoda encountered. [Reply]
