A few weeks after one Starfield shipright managed to build an Imperial Star Destroyer so massive that it needed a 21-page how-to guide, another Star Wars lookalike vessel has graced Bethesda's RPG with such detail that it drops its FPS right down to 15.
Donald Glover’s Lando Star Wars show thankfully rejiggered to be Donald Glover’s Lando Star Wars movie

Solo: A Star Wars Storyapologists, rejoice: Not only is Donald Glover’s proposed spinoff series Lando still happening, but as the star’s brother/creative cohort Stephen Glover revealed this week, it’s being redeveloped as a Star Wars movie.
Whether that means it actually gets to hit theaters in one of the current release date slots held by the franchise or if it’s still destined for Disney Plus is unclear — and might be for some time, since no work on the project can actually take place as long as screenwriter members of the Writers Guild of America remain on strike with hopes of negotiating a contract with the studio-backed Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. But for an idea first floated in 2018 and formally announced in 2020, it’s a promising update —especially for Star Wars fans hankering to go back to the movies.

Solo: A Star Wars Story dropped in the summer of 2018 to lukewarm reactions. Everyone loved Han Solo, but few needed the rogue’s backstory explained. After behind-the-scene shake-ups put the blockbuster in the half-shot prequel in the hands of George Lucas-approved director Ron Howard (Willow), the release was less of a triumphant win for the Star Wars saga than a promised champion limping across the finish line. Not great! But boy, did producer Kathleen Kennedy and her previous two Solo directors, Chris Miller and Phil Lord, who eventually bowed out mid-production, nail the casting!
Alden Ehrenreich, a low-key MVP of this year’s Oppenheimer, found his own footing as Han Solo, Emilia Clarke was so dashing as the femme fatale Qi’ra that Marvel Comics has been compelled to keep a good thing going in the Star Wars books, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge came closest to the spirit of Anthony Daniels’ C-3PO as L3-37 (even if she wound up incarcerated in the mainframe of the Millennium Falcon at the end...). Then there was Glover as Lando, mischievous, slick, and, apparently, pansexual. It was a full blast of ’70s throwback stud energy that reverse-engineered Billy Dee Williams’ original trilogy performance into something fitting of Childish Gambino.
The pitch of a Lando standalone series always made sense, a new hope that Star Wars could both tip its hat to the past — as it always must, it seems — but break off from tradition to find a new vibe in the galaxy. Previously, Dear White People creator Justin Simien was set as showrunner on the Disney Plus version of the series, but reports suggest he has since departed, leaving the project in the hands of Donald and Stephen Glover, who played a major role in crafting the FX series Atlanta.
Stephen Glover kept mum on the direction of Lando when he appeared on the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast earlier this week, but couldn’t
