This week on the Dagobah Dispatch, we are joined by the smoothest operator this side of the Outer Rim. Star Wars legend Billy Dee Williams stops by to chat all about playing Lando Calrissian in a galaxy far, far away. Williams — who has a new book called “What Have We Here?” coming out Feb. 13 — talks about having to deal with fans upset about Lando selling out Han Solo at the start of The Empire Strikes Back and what it was like coming back to the franchise for The Rise of Skywalker. It’s an engrossing deep dive with one of the original trilogy stars that cannot be missed! Also, we weigh in on the latest Bad Batch news and dream about what Princess Leia would have been like had Jodie Foster not turned down the role. All that and plenty more nonsense.
