Keep George Lucas Away From This Lando Calrissian Spin-Off

Gizmodo AU

Imagine if the Star Wars universe hadn’t been sidetracked by Ewoks and the second death star, but had instead focussed on the cooler characters. Like Lando Calrissian, before he got his facial skinflap sidekick in Return of the Jedi.

This parody trailer, created by Outsider Features for under $US4000 as a tribute to the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, brings the attention back to Lando in full Blaxploitation style. And it looks about a million times better than The Phantom Menace because of it.

I know it’s a parody, but I really want to see where they go with this. Just keep Lucas away from it, okay?

    see, thats what was really missing from the prequels. the comic relief.

    in the originals, it was cool!

    in the prequels it was either non existent, or embarrassingly poor.

    they were missing Han solo.

    Star wars was always my favorite because the universe just seemed limitless. It would not be that hard for a half talented bunch of people to make another awesomely kick ass movie from the star wars universe.
