SOLO: A LITTLE SABAAC?

He's dabbled a little bit in its game-playing, now the raw skills of the young Han Solo will surely be tested against legendary super-smooth pilot and 'adventurer' Lando Calrissian in this great cover art for the now classic Sabaac match between the iconic rivals, captured by Phil Noto for the Solo: A Star Wars Story comic adaptation.

'SOLO': THE FALCON GAMBLE - ROUND TWO!

It's re-match time between Han Solo and card shark sports legend Lando Calrissian at the tropical jungle landscape realms of Numidian Prime. And once again the Sabaac high stakes are for the top prize that is the Millennium Falcon. But will Lando's 'ace in the hole' trick once more come to his aid?

A great shot of Donald Glover as the smooth Lando Calrissian from Solo: A Star Wars Story, out now on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital.

'SOLO': THAT SPACE-AGE MAN ABOUT TOWN LOOK!

Lando's not a system he's a man, Han Solo would later say of the eventual Baron Calrissian of Bespin to Princess Leia. Yet Lando certainly possesses an entire solar system of colourful, stylish and downright wacky clothes and capes in his wardrobe, as seen above in one of the great posed character images of Donald Glover's playing the icon role, from Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Note the fun Ralph McQuarrie referencing on his shirt, to the unused Sicemon planet air taxi from Return of the Jedi.

'SOLO': OUT FROM THE SHADOWS!

If there's one thing Han Solo knows how to do well, it's make an entrance, as seen here- ready to partake in some friendly Sabaac gaming with the hot pilot and soon rival Lando Calrissian. A scene set within Vandor's equivalent of Mos Eisley spaceport: Fort Ypso, from Solo: A Star Wars Story.

'SOLO': THE LANDO FACTOR!

Self-made galactic man! Lando Calrissian.

'Everything you've heard about me... is true.'

He's cleared his debts (especially to the underworld), he's not tied down to any kind of personal/business commitments, and it looks like the galaxy is for his taking, just as is its female population is for the smooth romancin' (be they human or alien, or even droid!). Yes, hot pilot of his beloved Millennium Falcon, Captain Lando Calrissian, makes his special debut in Solo: A Star Wars Story, in an excellent performance from Donald Glover that showcases all the character traits the popular high-caliber scoundrel will have by the Classic Trilogy era, as originally personified by Billy Dee Williams, most notably the relaxed and confident ego and manner. But also, vitally, the fact that prior to the events of Cloud City, Lando wasn't always so reliable and trustworthy as you think...

The card shark!

The cool coat!

The slick pilot!

Blaster man!
