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.

Not really. The out of this world excitement for the Ashoka series proves that fanboys will get behind a women driven fantasy when the women are written as fun, nuanced characters with clear motivations other than “I AM A STRONG FEMALE AND NO MAN CAN GET IN MY WAY” [Reply]

Yet to be proven. Ashoka is a supporting character. [Reply]
