i mean basically space hitler was like “hey mayor, how’s about i blow up your city? people screaming, homes shattering like eggshells, flaming babies shooting out of the wreckage – or you can just hand over a couple-three folks i have a beef with” and lando was like “oh my fuck do NOT bomb my city what the shit” and space hitler was like “haha now you are a villain” and lando was like “i’m gonna need so much therapy”
i honestly feel for the man and never considered him a bad guy. vader had hostages.
Part of the problem is we never actually see civilians suffering, so the threat doesn’t seem real, similar to in episode 1 where we never see the negative impact of the planet being occupied.
Also, imagine it from Lando’s POV. He’s settled down after a rebellious criminal period and become a responsible adult TM and gone into local politics. Then a guy from his past rosks up and is like “dude you have to hide me from the cops!”
Oh, it’s worse than that. The Empire shows up first- the Falcon’s hyperdrive was broken, so the Empire got to Bespin before they did.
So, Lando’s been running his city for a while, he’s almost definitely heard stories about his friend working with the Rebellion, which, hey, good for him. But suddenly, the second most powerful tyrant in the galaxy shows up and says, “We’re here for Han Solo and his friends, we’ll be taking them, or we’ll destroy your city.” And Lando’s like, uh, sure, haven’t seen him for years, but okay. And then the jackass actually shows up for a favor? Oh, boy.
I’ve seen a few people commenting on the similarity between Lando’s outfit on the Episode IX trailer and in the Han Solo movie.
People saying stuff like, “So did he just have a closet full of clothes that Han never got rid of after he took the Falcon?” And I think the obvious answer to this is:
Of freaking course he did!
Do you think Han Solo ever used a closet? Nah. All his clothes were piled on his bed from where Chewbacca put them after doing laundry, and where Han never moved them from because he falls asleep in the pilot’s chair of the Falcon every night. If you asked him what that door in his quarters was for, he’d probably say something like that’s where the extra blankets are. Of course that closet held all of Lando’s capes, undisturbed, for years.
