Solo
Han Solo hasn't had a decent showcase in 38 years. He nearly stole the show in Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, but his ignominious send-off in The Force Awakens ranks up there with Boba Fett's and General Grievous' as one of the lamest endings for a cool Star Wars character. Until the moment Lando announced that he was alright, it seemed like he'd died with the utmost dignity in Empire. And 35 years later, he runs around like a moron having a mid-life crisis for an hour until he's unceremoniously stabbed in the gut and falls off a catwalk. There was no Vader or Fett to compete with and he still wasn't "the cool guy". Maybe he should've ordered some Dos Equis at Mas Canada's bar. Hopefully, everybody's favorite Corellian smuggler's solo film will wipe our memories clean of his most recent movie appearance.
In other news, Donald Glover has been cast as Lando Calrissian. Glover's funny but I've never seen him exude Billy Dee Williams' smoothness -- which is what makes Lando, Lando. Hopefully he has some game we don't know about.
