AN 'EMPIRE' AT 35: SCOUNDRELS RE-UNITED!


"What have you done to my ship?"

Lando Calrissian shows some brief concern to his "friend" Han Solo about the condition of his former vessel, the beloved Millennium Falcon, in this character-building scene from THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK which also establishes that both of them have had a past in the realms of scoundrel-dom.

Lando's introduction in EPISODE V was a fine one: daring, smooth-talking and confident, yet beleaguered and showing an air of vulnerability about him. Billy Dee Williams was the perfect casting choice.


Some of Lando's "activities" before the events of EPISODE V will soon be revealed in an exciting new MARVEL COMICS five-issue mini-series, available from 8th July.
