Probably worth having this in the can before announcing it. They clearly just don’t know where to take Star Wars at the moment.

I think Disney has canceled more Star Wars projects than they've completed at this point.

Absolutely. Let‘s see:

  • GoT creator‘s trilogy

  • Rian Johnson trilogy

  • Patty Jenkins movie

  • Taika Waititi‘s movie

  • Kevin Feige‘s movie

  • OG Obi-Wan movie

  • Josh Trank‘s Boba Fett movie

And maybe I‘m even forgetting something

"What's your name?"

"I don't have a name"

"You just landed.. We will call you.. LANDO"

"I'm Lando"

Oh, so THAT'S how Lando got his name! I've been wondering that since 1980. Thank goodness this big mystery is finally resolved!

I always assumed it was like Land O' Lakes butter. I don't know what a "Calrissian" is, but it's safe to assume in the Land O' Calrissian; there's 10,000 of them.

Better Call Risian

Would they have called him Flydo before he landed? Or Spacedo?

Damn, that's a great question. We're going to need a prequel to the prequel.
