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.
It's not like the story of the original trilogy was anything that amazing, the amazing part was how well the characters worked together. They were real, flawed people. The prequel trilogy was a mess because of the choice of actors. No chemistry between them and not much to relate to. The sequel trilogy has similar problems, there isn't anything to care about in the characters. Rey isn't even remotely human, has no flaws, doesn't have any romantic interests, knows everything about everything and uses the force better than anyone.
She is like Superman that is immune to kryptonite. There is never a worry that anything will happen to her. [Reply]
I've never cared less for Star wars characters in my life. That's how poorly written this new cast is. And when you have to go and dig palpatine up from the grave? I mean come on... [Reply]
Sidious will return in spirit form inhabiting the body of British actor Matt Smith who plays a new crimson lightsaber wielding villain.
Ian was on set during all scenes shot with Smith providing voice work in the background for Adam driver to interact with. It is unclear whether Smith was a secret apprentice or simply a tool to be used but it has been somewhat confirmed that snoke was indeed the dark presence that Sidious felt in the unknown regions. It is also speculated that there will be video recordings or holograms shown depicting sidious recruiting snoke as his apprentice to overthrow Vader between the time of empire and Jedi. [Reply]

When the studio is copying bad ideas from the EU, you know they are scrambling. [Reply]
