The more I see ofSolo: A Star Wars Story– but more specifically, ofDonald Gloveras Lando Calrissian – the more convinced I am that this movie should have just been called Lando. Glover is already magnetic in the role, and during a successfulSNLhosting gig this week, he previews his take on the iconic character that is already better than everySoloteaser I’ve seen so far.
The bit, “Lando’s Summit,” is about Lando hosting a meeting of all of the black people in space … which is not many (they’re played byKenan Thompson,Leslie Jones, andChris Redd). In the galaxy, it seems that “there are lots of lizard men wearing vests … just four black people though,” Lando notes. Glover’s portrayal is a little preview of what we’ll be seeing in theaters soon, hopefully. In this sketch Lando is smart, flirty,andhe sings! The biggest question I have now (besides why Solo wasn’t about Lando to begin with) is when “Making Love in Space” will be available to buy.
