Getting into Lando's head.

Sad to say since Billy Dee hasn't responded to my tweets to him I think I have no choice but to go find him and get his advice on how to play lando for him. I don't know what to do exactly. Only he knows, ya see. I know lando, I"ve lived and breathed ESB and RotJ for so many years. I know how to play him, but I don't know exactly what went through Billy Dee's head when he was tasked with creating the character.

We'll figure it out. When, yes I said WHEN Lucasfilm contacts me about the part, we will brainstorm about it and figure out how to approach it. I stupidly pretend I'm playing Lando when I'm waiting for the train to get home from work. I imagine a young lando is really like, kinda a brash, arrogant, hot shot, not the mature, level headed lando we see later. In his youth he was a firey sorta-dickish guy. We'll figure it out.

If I get the part I'll open the door to suggestions as well from the fans. These new movies they're making, the wonderful thing about them is that there's no limit to what can be put in them. They're basically very massive star wars fan films. And that's ok. Star Wars fans deserve control over their franchise now in my mind.

If they want it from me, I'll do tons of story boards for the Han Solo film. Phil and Chris don't know what kind of guy I am. I've been drawing comics since I was 5. They'll not only get a Lando look alike out of me, but I can design and draw tons of shit for them if needed.

Let's do it. I dare them right now to go out and find someone who looks closer to Billy Dee than me. Go right ahead. Not saying I deserve the part, no, but my life is Star Wars. I live for it, so there's no reason under the sun not to offer me the part.
