Happy Halloween from #orlandovishwa. My son, Lando Nunziata as Lando Calrissian. This might be the last Halloween where we to pick his costume for him and I’m exploiting the namesake.
This is it! Our Solo: A Star Wars Story coup de grâce!
SPOILERS abound beyond this point as Joshua and David welcome guests TIM MCFARLAND and BRIAN ASHTON as the quartet undertakes a SOLO: DISSECTION episode!
Finally sitting down to tear into Solo: A Star Wars Story your co-hosts and their guests crack open the brand new Official Guide to the movie written by Lucasfilm story group head honcho Pablo Hidalgo!
Using the official guide as a map the group covers nearly every aspect of the film giving our opinions and commentary on what we liked, what we didn’t like, and what we hope to see in future STAR WARS ANTHOLOGY films!
PLUS if this conversation leaves you wanting more, fear not! As you’d expect by now with these episodes, we ran long and had to cut some sections for time, however we are putting those cut segments together for a future bonus episode!
This is several books ago now, but it haunts me. I will say that one thing I was NOT expecting from the star wars novels was lando (in his very first book) being stripped to his underwear and tied to a tree to die of exposure, and yes surviving (barely) but losing toes to frostbite. Like. Aughhhh. no no no, dislike, I can do a lot of physical torment stuff, and whatever sci fi medicine they were doing that early in canon gave him new and improved toes, but AGHHHH
Gdi, apart from the unfortunate smoking habit, this man is pure husband material. And he’s had a good few decades to kick the smoking, I’m sure it’s fine. He’s just so relentlessly charming! He keeps money in concealed compartments in his cummerbund! At least once per book he describes his outfit with all the care of a teen girl novel protagonist! It usually involves velvet!!! And, unrelated but an excellent bonus, he lives a life surrounded by a surprising numbers of tentacles, I require him to wed me posthaste
Lando’s story is one of foresight, sacrifice, bravery, and promise – not betrayal.
In this series, I offer alternative perspectives on classical interpretations of the Star Wars mythos.
A long-standing attribute of Lando Calrissian’s story among Star Wars fans is his betrayal at Cloud City. For most, there isn’t a lot up for debate regarding this aspect of The Empire Strikes Back.Certainly,…
10/10 - The classic lando look - contrasting colours, cute lil chunky belt, everybody is jealous of that exquisite fucking cape, except edna mode. You can tell he made his guards coordinate with him.
2)
8/10 - Wearing Han’s clothes - this is a very nice detail, they are just bros helping each other out even when oneisfrozen in carbonite, however i am missing the flamboyance here.
3)
7/10 - Rebellion fit - The cape is back! Though this time slightly more muted. His outfit is more practical in this scene.
4)
4/10 - Undercover at Jabba’s - Although i love the details on the breastplate and mask of this outfit, it really doesn’t convey any of that flashy Lando charm, so this one unfortunately doesn’t score very high.
