00:00Donald Glover and his brother Stephen Glover are teaming up to write a Lando Calrissian series for Disney+.
00:06The deal was made prior to the writer's strike, which began in May.
00:10Justin Simeon, who was previously attached to develop Lando, exited the Star Wars project prior to the duo signing on.
00:17Disney announced that the Lando series was in the works back in December 2020.
00:21Donald Glover, who will also star in the show, previously played Lando Calrissian in 2018's Solo A Star Wars Story.
00:27While the film didn't perform well at the box office, Glover's performance was well-received.
00:32You got a lion on a ship?
00:34Yeah, I know a guy. He's the best smuggler around.
00:36I heard a story about you. I was wondering if it's true.
00:39Everything you've heard about me is true.
00:42The character Lando first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back and was played by Billy Dee Williams.
00:47You got a lot of guts coming here after what you pulled.
00:51The original Lando actor also returned for Return of the Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.
