Bringing Lando in as a last ditch effort to attract fans is a testament to how fucked the new trilogy is

I mean think about this for second: what in the world do you have Lando do in a world where all of his friends are dead? You already iced Han in the first movie surrounded by some new characters that were practically complete strangers to him (no need to have his closest friend/brother-in-law or wife around for such an emotional impactful moment I guess), then you killed Luke in the second damn movie, again having not seen anyone he cared about in like 40 years. And then the real life actress for Leia died which admittedly is not your fault but does create some storytelling issues, especially since you decided to disregard the opportunity to kill her off in the second movie instead of Luke. What tf are you bringing Lando back for NOW? Billy Dee Williams had expressed interest from the beginning; you could’ve had him hook up with Han again. But now he’s just some dude from the old movies that has no logical place in the story.

All because you couldn’t be arsed to plan these things out ahead of time.
