Donald Glover's STAR WARS: LANDO Project is Now Going To Be a Movie

Donald Glover and Lucasfilm have been working on developing a Star Wars series spinoff project for Lando for a few years. Well, it’s now been revealed that the project is now being developed as a feature film.

The news comes from Donald Glover’s brother and co-writer on the project, Stephen Glover, who shared with the Pablo Torre Finds Out show:

"The idea right now is to do a movie. Right now, because of the strike, it's kind of like telephone, all the information coming out."

Donald Glover is set to reprise his role as Lando Calrissian and the story will follow one of his many adventures after the events of Solo: A Star Wars Story. We have no idea what that adventure will entail, but I’m excited and curious to see what the story will be. Glover did previously tease his vision for it.

Glover wanted to tell a story that he knew he would be happy with, and he doesn’t want to waste his time on a project that he’s not fully invested in, but said Lando is definitely a character he’d like to play again: “People kind of realized that their time was valuable. You only get so much. So I am not interested in doing anything that’s just going to be a waste of my time or just a paycheck. I’d much rather spend time with people that I enjoy. So it just has to be the right thing, which I think it could be. Lando is definitely somebody I’d like to hang out with.”

Glover previously shared his vision for a Lando project, describing it as Frasier in space: “It would be cool to see, like, Frasier in Space. Like, a high-end guy in space. All of these characters are very specific and they have very specific points of view, so it’s always going to be fun to see them traveling around to a planet that is the opposite of what they’re used to … And all of that seems like it would be fun to write, for sure.”
