Lando Calrissian Needs You For Episode 7!
You want to see Billy Dee Williams back in Episode 7? Well surely you could help…
That’s what the actor posted on his Facebook page:
“Everyone is still asking about the new Star Wars movie…. the best way to ensure that Billy Dee Williams will be in the new film is to FB, TWITTER, BLOG and tell Disney and Lucasfilm that you want to see LANDO again! Hopefully JJ will read the wishes and write in LANDO! UNTIL then…. here is all that is known: “I am in the dark with the actual plans that Disney and Lucasfilm have for the future of the “Star Wars” universe. I have heard the same rumors that the fans heard, that a new trilogy is being made, that spin-offs may be made, that we all [Mark, Carrie, Harrison and myself] are going to be reprising our roles in these projects. At this point in time, nothing has been confirmed about my participation and I have signed no contracts. I assure you that I would absolutely love to reprise my role of Lando Calrissian. He’s a character that I took great pride in creating on screen and have continued to be a part of when providing his voice for video games, the new “Star Wars Detours” cartoon and for various episodes of “Robot Chicken”, among other projects. It’s a lot of fun to keep Lando alive and I am eager to do it again, on film, when I get the call. I thank all the fans out there for their continued support and I hope to get the call from Disney and Lucasfilm real soon, until then, may the force be with us all!”

Disney must bring back Lando, who was a bigger player than Solo.
bring back lando, we need him to help out the rebellion once again, dark sides are approaching us.
I’d bring him back in episode 8. Don’t throw all the eggs into the episode 7 basket.
Allow Lando to reprise his role! He was an important character in the end and deserves a role in the new trilogy!
