“Billy Dee Williams is returning to a galaxy far, far away.The actor, who famously played the galactic gambler Lando Calrissian, will reprise the role for Star Wars: Episode IX, the next Star Wars installment from Lucasfilm.
Chatter about Williams joining the production, which is set to begin later this summer, increased in recent days when the actor bowed out of an upcoming sci-fi and pop culture convention citing a conflict with a movie schedule. Sources confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that Williams will indeed be returning to the Star Warsfilm franchise for the first time since 1983’s Return of the Jedi. The Lando Calrissian character made his suave debut in 1980’s Empire Strikes Back.”

You mean when you frame Space Nazis in your movies as cool and relatable you get a fan base full of people who harass minorities?
have you ever watched star wars in your life?
also blaming movies for the behavior of racists is ridiculous af.
The writer and director of The Last Jedi has said publicly that he thinks everyone can relate to his favorite Space Nazi (specifically being able to relate to being an angry and tumultuous young man?) but go off, I guess.
protip, @celeritaschronicles: the shitty racist fanboys don’t identify with Kylo Ren, they identify with Luke. they don’t see themselves as glamorous and tragic villains, they see themselves as beleaguered heroes fighting against an evil multicultural empire. They literally think that progressiveness and tolerance is the evil empire, and that they’re the rebels. They identify us SJWs as the evil space Nazis. If you seriously think that these blowhards see themselves as Kylo Ren with his doe eyes and windswept hair, you clearly don’t understand a single thing about how these people think. Go on their message boards. Read their posts. They do not think they’re the space Nazis.
Rian Johnson enjoying the craft of being a writer (yes, we writers enjoy writing villains, a good villain is a LOT of fun to write, that’s just facts) has not one goddamn thing to do with the shitty-ass fanboys who grew up thinking they were Luke (and who are sadly mistaken).
Stop victim blaming the creators and blame the deluded racists.
@bai-xue there were reactionary boycotts of Rogue One and TLJ because they hated that the rebellion was full of women/POC and thought the empire should’ve been the good guys.
@celeritaschronicles authors find writing their villains fun. That’s not unusual
Son: Who are the bad guys in this movie? Husband: The Nazis. [pause for a beat] Again. Except not in space this time. Me: Yes, Nazis, take note: whether you’re on land or in space, either way Harrison Ford is coming to foil your plans.
